The Unbusy Mom - take your time back strategies for business moms
How does getting 20 hours back a week sound?
Mom life is easy for me. And by the way, I’m working from home (plus homeschooling!) with 5 kids.
Ready for your own “how to make things fit” strategy?
The way I do scheduling allows you to grow through the hard phases of building a business alongside a family, leveling up your CEO self alongside your capacity to hold.
What you end up with is a way closer relationship with your husband - your kids - even your clients! - because you’ve built the daily lifestyle that allows you to nurture that connection with the most important people in your life….
….No matter what’s going on with your to-do list.
So if….
✅ You feel like you’re up to your eyeballs in to-do lists
✅ You’ve got more things scheduled on your calendar than you’ve ever seen
✅ Your kids need more time than you’ve currently got (for homework & playing with them after school)
✅ Your plans for date night are getting pushed last minute (or snoozed till next week – again)
✅ You can’t even fathom taking a two-hour break in the middle of the day (because if you stop, the house might literally burn down)
✅ You can’t remember the last time you got a pedicure (because you’re too busy taking care of everyone except yourself)
Then it’s time to escape the never-ending cycle of “there goes my lunch break” meetings, “turn around by Friday” projects, & “hang on I’m almost done” answers to your kids….
…And swap that for working less, snuggling your kids, and putting "me time" back on your calendar.
‘Cause it's time for you to actually feel that day-in, day-out confidence in your role as mom, entrepreneur, and all-around high achiever.
Which is where I come in to help you create win-win solutions for yourself + your family that support business growth, team scaling, & client operations without compromising any key part of your life (or requiring long-held goals to be left for another year).

The Unbusy Mom - take your time back strategies for business moms
Client case study: I tell all my clients THIS when they’re already out of energy but they’ve got a huge to-do list!
Your to-do list is stacking up, your own energy is dropping, and you just can’t muster up the brain power to knock out anything else – but all those tasks are super important and really have to get done this week (or month).
Sound familiar?
If this is you, I just had a client in this exact situation, so I’ll let you listen in on what I told her.
(It’s the REALISTIC way to get it all done!)
You’ve got this!

This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about what I tell all my clients when they’re already out of energy but they’ve got a huge to-do list!
Your to-do list is stacking up, your own energy is dropping, and you just can’t muster up the brain power to knock out anything else – but all those tasks are super important and really have to get done this week (or month).
Sound familiar?
I just had a client in this exact situation, so I’ll let you listen in on what I told her.
(It’s the REALISTIC way to get it all done!)
If you have way too many to-do's stacking up that need to be taken care of, that you aren’t really wanting to do, but you’re unable to release, stick to 1-2 things a day during your work day, and only do those 2 things.
As soon as you cross them off, you’re off the hook. You can go relax, use your extra time whichever way you want, anything – all you have to do each day is 2 tiny things.
You even get to pick which 2 it is – don’t bother tiering your to-do list by priority or urgency level here.
Just make it as easy as possible on yourself to choose and do.
You’re not shooting for being “perfect,” or choosing the exact right thing that’s the exact top of the to-do list - you’re just taking action.
And action is the only thing that’s going to shorten your to-do list. (It’s a sneaky way to get yourself in the habit!)
So just let yourself grab 2 things, cross ‘em off, and then be done for the day.
You WILL knock out that to-do list – and you won’t exhaust yourself doing it.
All you had to do was relax your expectations and say “some progress is enough.”
That’s it.
So steal this to-do list hack for yourself today, and use it to shorten your own task list. Because you don’t need to live in overwhelm land any longer.
All you need to do is lean on limits and scheduling to give you both the *break* and the *momentum* that you need.
And if this concept sounds intriguing to you, these kinds of blends are what I specialize in inside Mompreneur Made Easy - it’s my custom combination of productivity strategies with personalized-to-you mindset techniques and journaling exercises, alongside delegation strategies that can be accomplished right inside the home *without* laying out any more money - and it’s guaranteed to chop your biz-plus-personal to-do list by two-thirds as a work-from-home mom.
Because you need *way* more time, and way more white space, to start actually *liking* your needle-moving, business-running life - not a ton more “do this and this and this” strategies and formulaic orders from on high.
So if running your business (and your family!) this way sounds like a badly needed breath of fresh air, come join me inside of Mompreneur Made Easy and we’ll transform your daily schedule from the ground up.
With the sneaky side benefit of getting you the non-stressed mommy your family needs, as a result of this work/life balance transformation.
