Productivity Tips for Momprenures

As a new mom I had to quickly implement some of my productivity tips into my new life. It took a while for me to get into the grove of being a new mom but I finally got the hang of it and found ways to get more done in a day. Here are the strategies I put in place to slay my day.

Block Scheduling

It took me a while to adjust my schedule to my baby's feedings but after using apps like Olivia to track my babies feedings I was able to finally get a feeding schedule down. This allowed me to block of that time on my schedule and plan around it so I knew when I could take appointments and when I had time to get much needed work down because I could time when he would take a nap. The thing with block scheduling is to be flexible, as you know children do not stick to a schedule so this will have to be adjusted as needed.

Binural Beats

This is a hidden gem. If you have not heard of binaural beats you are missing out. I came across binaural beats during a co-working session with other femprenures. Someone asked if they could play it and we all were intrigued. In a matter of a min we went from chatty and scrolling social media to a deep 1 hour focus session powered by binaural beats. You can find these on Spotify and on youtube, find one that works best for your mood.

The 1 thing

This is a new spin on the one thing. You might have heard of the famous book The One Thing, well take this concept and apply it to your daily life. We tend to make a list of things to do in reality we only have time and energy to get a handful of things done. Lets face it, no one likes to feel like a failure so why do we keep setting ourselves up for it? We create a laundry list of things to do and when the day ends and we only accomplish a third of our list we feel like we failed or we simply never get those tasks done in time. Instead of having a long list of things to do limit it down to 3 items. Then prioritize the top priority, the ONE THING that needs to be done that day.

Say NO

This is a hard one but needed to keep your focus and productivity going. As women we are being pulled in numerous directions and we have a tendency of trying to be a superwomen. Guess what, even superwomen needs a break here and there and you can create this space by simply saying NO. Say no to the bake sale, say no to the project that is not income producing, say no to the client who wants to move the meeting to your family time. Just say no and all of a sudden you will have more time to get things accomplished.
