Hello and welcome to Child Proof from Butches Media. I'm Tori Phantom and I'm

Gwenel Laitland. This episode is dedicated to every parent who dreads every morning just because of the chaos involved.

And to the parents who have created system after system and routine after routine only to be frustrated that it's not working.

Today we're talking about systems. Oh and we have a system on this podcast.

First we intro ourselves, then we dedicate the episode and then we start the timer.

So I have been talking about systems for a long time

and the more often I talked

about systems the more often I realized we are not all using the same words every

time. Yeah, yeah there is different words with different definitions that I think we all use for different things.

Different reasons. So for the purposes of this episode, it feels vital that we give you four definitions.

The first is a routine. And a routine to me is a series of steps to complete a regular or reoccurring task.

And then we have a habit which is a task completed without or with little conscious thought or effort and there's a

schedule a time dependent outline of how long each step in a routine or habit will take

and then finally we have a system in a routine or habit will take.

And then finally we have a system which is the unification of routines, habits, and schedules

in a way that works for you and your family and its needs.

So in the earliest days of figuring out

how to make my house and my time and my family's needs

all work seamlessly together, People kept telling me, we'll just make a system.

Well I, in my head, thought a system was the same as a schedule.

Okay, so we'll get up at 645 and then we will be dressed by 655 and then we'll be sitting at the

dining room table for breakfast by 7 and then we've got 15 minutes to eat and oh my God that's not very long to eat I'm teaching
