Half the Stuff in Twice the Time

As a first time mom I can say parenting is tough. Parenting and getting anything else accomplished is even thougher. Maybe it is just my little munchkin but she sure thinks that nothing else needs to be happening and she should have our undivided attention. It works out ok when both BW and I are here but he works out of town. Needless to say I don't get much accomplished when he is not around. So tell me, is there a secret to getting more done.
