How to Find Your Rhythm for Productivity as a Work-From-Home Mom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I used to overestimate what I could do in a day, fail to hit my goals, and spiral into a place of frustration and 'postpartum rage.' I thought I needed a better planner or a more rigid schedule. What I actually needed was a shift in expectations.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I actually structure my week as a work-from-home mom and entrepreneur in early 2026. Whether you have a toddler, a newborn, or a business whisper in your ear that you’re ready to act on, this episode is about finding a flow that supports your family without sacrificing your ambition.
We’re diving into:
- The "Weekly Flow" Mentality: Why I stopped planning day-to-day and started looking at the week as a whole.
- Glass vs. Plastic Balls: How to identify which tasks are non-negotiable and which ones are allowed to bounce.
- A Peek at My Schedule: How I use childcare days for "sacred deep work" and Fridays for "just being mom."
- The "Two Birds, One Seed" Trick: How I involve my 2.5-year-old in "plastic ball" tasks (like laundry and cleaning) so I can stay present.
- Grace for the Seasons: Why your rhythm will look different if you’re in the newborn haze versus the toddler years.
