Time Blocking for Real Life: A Mom-Friendly Reframe
Sat Jan 31 2026
This is Episode 3 in our series, What If You’re Not the Problem? Productivity Systems Not Built for You (And How Moms Can Make Them Work) — and today we’re talking about time blocking.
Time blocking is one of the most popular productivity strategies out there—used by CEOs, planners, and high-performance coaches in books like Deep Work by Cal Newport and programs like Getting Things Done. But what happens when your perfectly planned day gets hijacked by sick kids, spilled milk, or forgotten backpacks?
In this episode, we unpack why time blocking often fails for moms—and how to reframe it so it finally works in your real, messy, unpredictable life. You'll learn how to use themed blocks, build in buffer space, and actually account for the invisible labor of motherhood.
You’re not the problem. The system just wasn’t built for you. But we’re changing that—starting today.
