The Encourager Podcast: Equipping Christian Moms to Harmonize Work and Home

Life can be a whirlwind. That's why I am sharing 2 fantastic hacks for each of the systems I teach on this podcast!  The best part? You can start using these right away! Me System: Pick a recharge moment for the week. Find a little pocket of time that's just for you to unwind and recharge, even if it's only for a few minutes! Wake up before your family. Be it 5 minutes or 2 hours, this small change can make a huge difference in setting a positive tone for the day. Family System:  Plan family meals in advance. Not just the food, but schedule the actual meals. Breakfast, lunch, supper, snacks, all of it! Knowing when it will happen will create a tradition of "togetherness" and be worth a thousand memories! Sync up with your spouse. Initiate a "honey huddle" meeting or conversation with your spouse to discuss calendars, priorities and follow up on important tasks. (Get my free Honey Huddle agenda here!) Food System: Make your food decisions by 9 am each day. This simple habit will save you time and stress in the long run! Grocery shop once a week. Decide who will shop, where you need to go and make a list of what you need. Work System: Set aside dedicated blocks of time for work. Decide when you will work and stick to it. Blocking out time ensures you have a clear schedule for maximum productivity. Answer "why" you do your work. Keeping your motivation in mind will help you stay focused and inspired. Home System: Declutter once a week. Whether it's a drawer or an entire room, taking small, consistent steps will keep your space tidy and organized without overwhelming you. Create a laundry plan that fits your schedule. Whether it's bi-weekly, weekly or daily, decide what DONE looks like and communicate this to your family so they understand and respect your efforts.
