Introducing my Mum to PKM
My mother is excellent. She’s the kindest woman I know, and she’s also tiny and adorable. She won’t let me share a pic though, so you’ll have to trust me on that one.
She also wears many hats: she’s a specialist paediatric nurse, working 12–13 hour days in our chronically underfunded NHS, she works with a charity, she’s the only person the dog wants to walk with now he’s old and grumpy, and she still finds time to look after family, friends, and her two delightful children who are grown up but still need advice.
Every time I go home, it’s clear that she has a lot on her plate. About a year ago she asked for my help organising herself. The family can help on evenings and weekends, but she needed support to help her through her days too, to feel less overwhelmed, more supported and more empowered.
Here’s what we did.
Spoiler alert: we end up with Twos (referral link), which she loves…
