My Busy Mom Schedule: How I Stay Organized and Sane

The Secrets of Supermom Show

In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori shares her secret to staying productive and reducing overwhelm with her busy mom schedule—weekly planning. By prioritizing energy management and intentionally blocking time on her calendar, Lori is able to hit her goals and still enjoy life’s fun moments. She emphasizes the importance of scheduling time for sleep, movement, food, and personal connection before tackling any commitments.

Lori walks listeners through her planning process, starting with mapping out key commitments like meetings and appointments. Next, she focuses on her “one big goal” for the week, rather than trying to tackle everything at once. She also discusses how to manage a “master to-do list,” which serves as a brain-dumping space for tasks that don’t need immediate attention.

To ensure flexibility, Lori integrates buffer time and white space into her weekly plan. Buffer time allows for unexpected delays or tasks, while white space is scheduled downtime for recharging or handling last-minute tasks. With this strategy, Lori is able to feel in control, be productive, and maintain balance.

If you’re struggling with constant overwhelm and burnout, weekly planning may be the solution you need to stay on top of your commitments while still making time for self-care and fun.

Remember, it's not about perfection—it’s about progress. With intentional planning, you can show up as the supermom you’re meant to be!
