Working Mom's Survival Guide #4: Create Systems That Reduce Your Stress

If you constantly feel like you're putting out fires at work and at home, you may not need to work harder — you may need better systems.

In Part 4 of the Working Mom's Survival Guide, I'm sharing one of the biggest changes I made after having my third daughter: creating simple systems and routines to eliminate as much last-minute stress as possible.

Instead of relying on myself to remember everything, scrambling to meet deadlines, or constantly answering questions from my team, I started asking:

How can I create a system so this is easier next time?

In this episode, we'll talk about:

→ Identifying the areas creating the most stress at home and work

→ Creating systems for meals, groceries, laundry and cleaning

→ Batching work and content ahead of time

→ Delegating tasks instead of doing everything yourself

→ Creating processes so your team doesn't always need you

→ Building routines around your kids and family

→ Protecting your energy and scheduling what fills you back up
