It seems like this prompt was created for me at this point of my life because multitasking is something I never thought I could handle, the reason is that when I lay my hands on something, my goal is to make sure to get the best of it, and doing this takes time and much effort so how do I joggle my offline work life as a fashion designer, a wife, and mother of two adorable girls, and also spend quality time here on hive when all of the aforementioned requires time and all has a place in my day to day activities.

To be frank, it has not been easy that most days, I feel like 24 hours is not enough anymore, so what I do is go with the flow, meaning I don't put a specific time into my hiving, I am usually an early riser, after my morning prayers, next thing, I check my notifications and try to engage a bit, after which I'm off to prepare my children for school, making sure to drop them before 7:45, I also do daily morning laundry, this is not to build a pile that will end up taking a whole day to do.
Next, I'm about to start the day's work, I work at home as a fashion designer, and most times I try to create a post of the day because this has been one of my goals for improvement, I tend to feel more relaxed and able to write better at morning, so I do this before starting my fashion business of the day because fashion designing is another brain racking and time-consuming job on its own, whenever I'm able to write my post in the morning hour, engaging as the in-between activity throughout the day is easier to achieve since I don't have to worry about writing unless I get inspired to. Like I said, I go with the flow, so it doesn't seem like a job, instead I make myself get used to it as I've been doing this for months now, making sure that none of my daily duties gets left behind or unaccomplished.
In the evening, my family gets most of my attention, as I listen to my daughter on how her day went in school, and also assist with her homework, my husband is back from work by this time and needs my attention too, I might have finish cooking by this time, so we have dinner together, put the kids to bed and rest too, preparing for the next day.
As you can see, I didn't place a specific time to hiving and also the time I spend on Discord, especially Neoxian city, I just go with the flow while doing other important things offline, and so far, this method has helped me stay on my hive engagement game.
