Even with their busy schedules, celebrities like Brooke Shields and Courteney Cox-Arquette seem to make time for their families. Ever wonder how they do it? How they manage to gracefully achieve that ever elusive state of balance?

Perhaps it is because Brooke and Courteney, as well as Jami Gertz, Felicity Huffman, and Julia Louis Dreyfuss are a few of the many moms that use a secret weapon that helps keep their work and home lives perfectly organized. It's The Balance Sheet ($10.00) from Mommy Track'd. These handy little to-do pads keep your work in the work column and your family stuff in the family column and give you an instant, well sorted look at all your responsibilities. Which makes it much easier to see when things are out of balance, and brings some symmetry to your multi-tasking. I've been using one for the past few weeks and have found it very instructive and useful to see the way my tasks line up on a daily basis.

Sometimes perfecting the role of supermommy is a just a matter of managing the daily chaos like a star. Who says you can't stop at the dog groomer's on the way to a meeting? Or call your agent while the kids are in gymnastics class? Having all your varied tasks in front of you makes it much easier to get it all done. Without losing your balance for an instant.
