The life of a father is exciting. There are few things that give a bigger rush than being a father of a happy family. Nevertheless, as a father, you're working a lot and with a big family this costs a lot of time. If your agenda is also always filled, then we can help you out: in this article we talk about 3 things that will make your life easier. 

1. Outsource things that you know nothing about

Many fathers pride themselves on 'doing everything on their own'. And while it's important to stay on top of things, you can't be good at everything. So if you have the budget, it might be a good idea to outsource certain tasks, such as child day care. If you spend every evening for weeks complaining about the workload you're having, it will feel great knowing that a professional is taking care of it. Another thing we recommend outsourcing is the collection of outstanding bills. If you have never done that before, you'll notice it's a time consuming process that will probably stress you out. That's why it's a good idea to work together with a collection agency (Dutch: incassobureau inschakelen). A collection agency (Dutch: incassobureau) knows exactly which legal steps to take to make sure your debtor pays soon. Always check the (Google) reviews of an agency to make sure you choose a good one! You can easily find all the collection agencies in your area by adding the name of your city or area to your search query. If you live in the Dutch city of Tilburg, that would be 'incassobureau Tilburg'.

2.  Enjoy life as a father

Despite the fact that the first months are grueling, and that parenting is a full-time job: enjoy it, enjoy it to the fullest, because those exceptional moments that you experience, you only experience once in your life (with a second child you feel a lot basic tasks quickly become repetitive, no matter how nice it is that a second sprout has come into your family). A first diaper remains a first diaper. First steps are always first steps, but you've seen it before ...

3.  Add self-appointments to your agenda

Have you ever opened your agenda and saw it was filled to the brim - even your evening and maybe even lunch break already had meetings and to do's? Believe us: that's not good for you. Every person needs a moment to themselves every now and then! Add certain non-negotiable appointments to your agenda; e.g., three times a week you will have dinner with your family. Two times a week you will go to the gym to work away some of the stress. Once a week you will take an hour to read up on the latest trends in your market. It's important for your wellbeing that you don't skip these appointments - after all, you wouldn't bail on a client meeting just like that! 

Good luck, we hope you can use these tips to bring more order to your agenda and have less stress in life.
