How do I fit everything in???

Question

Hi ladies,
I'm a mom to the best 5 month old boy named Micah. I'm also a wife and an employee among other titles we amazing women hold. I'm having trouble  trying to figure out how to fit everything I want and need to do in a day and having the energy to do it. 
I see so many amazing mommies getting shit done and I'm here dragging my ass lol. Any suggestions on how you get your motivation and energy?

I think one big thing is to cut yourself some slack. You can’t do it all, all the time. There are nights that I call my husband and tell him dinner isn’t happening bring home a pizza! 
I try to get a little ahead with cleaning and food prep on the weekends. I pack my daughters lunch and daycare bag the night before or at least have it all organized in the fridge. I handed some job off to my husband like emptying the dishwasher. I set my alarm to wake up
early enough that I am showered and ready for the work day before my daughter wakes up (or I wake her up).

Honestly, my “wifely duties” have been put on the back burner.  At home I’m 100% mom and when the baby is asleep I’m 85% self care/ sleep for myself and maybe 15% care for my husband.  When I go back to work, I’ll focus on work during my time there and usually completely disconnect at home.  Before kids I used to continue working from home, but now that’s almost never happened.  We have a 2 yr old and a 2 week old at home.  Once the new baby starts sleeping thru the night that’s when I expect I’ll have more energy to “be a wife” again.
