A few things that I've learned...
Checklists are your friend:

If you're pumping, I really love the electronic double duty. I can't tell you how sexy you will feel strapping this baby on, especially if it's in a bathroom where your male co-workers are privy to the sound of the sucking and pumping of your boobs. Listen, it's a pretty penny, but it best and it's faster:

I also love this little portable fridge:

This was the one thing I forgot at Mom's as I was bringing her Matilda's daily meals...and then my angel of a father brought it to work for me. I could not do this without them. I'm so lucky, I know and I try to remember that every day.
Pick your outfits out one day a week for the whole week. I've already discussed the challenges of dressing the breast feeding Mom. This alleviates a LOT of stress. It's one less thing to worry about and I've found that my outfits are much cuter when picked out once the sun has been up for a while.

Pack pjs in your diaper bag wherever you go so that you can swing that little munchkin from carseat to crib and never skip a beat.

Speaking of pajamas, I'm going to go get in them. I'm WHOOPED! Gotta retrain these legs to be stood on for eight hours a day instead of having them curled up on my couch. Ah, the good ole days.
