Parenting Guide: Organizing Habits Made Easy

If your planner looks great but your days still feel exhausting, this episode is for you. In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I'm breaking down why traditional schedules don't work for moms — especially default parents carrying the mental load. If you've tried planners, routines, or time blocking and still end most days depleted, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a design problem. I'll walk you through: Why most schedules weren't built for the reality of motherhood The three biggest schedule flaws that drain moms How mental load and constant transitions quietly sabotage your day Why energy matters more than productivity One simple shift you can make this week to feel more supported This episode isn't about doing more or trying harder. It's about designing a schedule that actually supports your life. 🎧 Listen in and rethink your schedule through a lens of support, not pressure.
