SAVE TIME >> 5 Tips for Stay at Home Moms.

Want to save time? Let’s chat about time management, time-saving hacks, and habits that go along with those hacks. I believe in productivity by doing LESS instead of “all the things” as a stay at home mom!

Save Time with Walmart Grocery Pickup

Walmart Grocery Pickup is seriously a life-changer! You order fresh groceries, Walmart does the shopping and loads your car for FREE. How easy is that? Here’s $10 to try it, if you’re new. http://r.wmt.co/iuEk3

Save Time with Looping Meal Prep

I love the idea of prepping a months worth of meals in a day, but honestly, I’m not there yet. What I call “looping meal prep” is the best way for me to get a few steps ahead without overwhelming myself. My favorite storage containers are wide mouth mason jars (https://amzn.to/2DLYqwI) with plastic non-rusting lids (https://amzn.to/2TuKr48), and these 3 cup rectangular glass containers (https://amzn.to/2sZOEko).

Save Time with a Robot Vacuum Cleaner

I have this vacuum (https://amzn.to/2DMviFB) on a timer to go off every evening. Having this external reminder to clean up the floor and get dinner started has been so extraordinarily helpful! This was my best big purchase of 2018. It saves me so much time and helps us remember to start our evening routine on time!

Save Time with Dry Shampoo

My favorite brand of dry shampoo is Batiste (https://amzn.to/2TqYhnM), and I’ve tried several! I’ll still rinse off after my workout, but not having to wash and style my hair every single day saves me so much time!

I LOVE listening to audiobooks and podcasts!

The earbuds I use (https://amzn.to/2Tq3b4J) enable me to listen to something interesting while getting tasks like dishes and laundry done! This adds something to my life that I otherwise struggle to find the time to enjoy.

My favorite time management Audio Books:
Essentialism by Greg McKeown (https://amzn.to/2CURNGI)
Deep Work by Cal Newport (https://amzn.to/2SlNe23)

My favorite podcasts regarding habits and productivity:
The Purpose Show
Lead to Win with Michael Hyatt
Terri Savelle Foy
The Chalene Show
The Brendon Show
(I have a BUNCH of podcast shows in my app, but I plan to add shows to this list only if I have listened to a fair amount of episodes from that particular show. I’ll be adding to this list in the future!)

BONUS – Watch to the end of the video for a bonus tip that helps us keep up with the dishes as a family who eats the majority of meals at home!
