Organizing for Working Moms: A Journey Through Family, Systems, and Self-Care

Let’s face it—being a working mom can feel like running a never-ending marathon with a toddler hanging off your leg and your inbox overflowing. Between the demands of work, parenting, and trying to squeeze in a moment for yourself, it’s no wonder so many moms feel stretched thin.

But here’s the good news: with the right mindset and a few smart systems in place, organizing for working moms doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact, it can be the very thing that brings more peace, connection, and breathing room into your day.

-Let Systems Lighten the Load at Home

Stacey Wallenstein, a mom blogger from New York, gets it. She’s built a lifestyle around organizing—not just her home, but her family’s time, habits, and even their mindset.

One of Stacey’s best strategies? She gets her kids involved. Every child has specific responsibilities, like handling their own laundry or packing their lunches. These small, age-appropriate tasks build independence and reduce the mental load on mom. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about everyone contributing.

#68 To-Do Lists Don’t Work? The System That Does

Today, we’re tackling a topic that hits close to home for many of us—the infamous to-do list, and why to-do lists don’t work as we expect.

If you’re like most parents juggling responsibilities, chances are you’ve leaned on to-do lists at some point to keep things in order. Whether it’s scribbling down tasks on notepads or using a digital planner, we’ve been told time and again that these lists are the key to staying organized. Raise your hand or nod if you’ve ever felt both reliant and defeated by your ever-growing list of tasks. If you’re nodding along, this post is for you because to-do lists don’t work quite the way you imagine.

**The To-Do Lists Don’t Work Myth**

The concept of to-do lists being the ultimate productivity hack is deeply ingrained in our culture. Everywhere you turn, there’s a new journal, planner, or app promising to help you tick tasks off the list efficiently. But here’s the hard truth: to-do lists don’t work in the way they promise, and they might be causing more harm than good.

You might wonder how that could be. Aren’t they supposed to help? In reality, these lists can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Every time an item gets added, it can feel like a never-ending mountain of “to-dos,” leaving us stressed and stretched thin. That’s why to-do lists don’t work effectively for many.
