While we have talked recently about the dangers of multitasking as a parent, because it makes you

distracted because it gives you conflicting priorities, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to look for

efficiencies. In fact, that's one of the main secrets of this whole job, always looking for how to

get more juice for your squeeze. Find the restaurant that ordering out of on a Saturday night gives you

just enough leftovers to make something delicious for breakfast or lunch the next day. Say yes to the

business trip that also lets you get a family vacation or a trip away from the kids with your spouse

for free. Sign up for the credit card that gives you double points. Use this mistake your daughter made as a chance to have a conversation you needed to have anyway. We are stretched so thin. We have so many responsibilities. Money remains for most of us a finite resource we could usually use more of. So the key to being a better parent is to find ways to make everything you do go a bit

further. No one is asking you to be a superhuman. No one is asking that you make something from nothing.

On the contrary, the skill here is to make the things you have or are doing go a bit further,

which, by the way, is what smart parents have been doing forever, including the wealthy

ones, which is why there is a picture of a young Rockefeller in hand-me-downs.

Hey, you're listening to The Daily Dad Podcast, one meditation a day inspired to help you do your

most important job, which is be a great father.

These are meditations inspired by ancient wisdom, psychological research, and just great strategies

from normal dads just like you. Thanks for listening.
