We’re finally re-releasing one of our favourite past episodes! In this pre-pandemic-shutdown episode, Dr. Lisa talks with process improvement consultant (and mom of almost 3) Nicole North of Whiteboard Consulting about how process improvement makes your life easier and reduces mom stress – from getting your kids to bed at night and out of the house in the morning to keep track of all of the important and mundane things that are stuck in your head.
In this episode, we cover:
How Nicole made going to bed fun for her step-daughter
The importance of off-loading mom burden and increase your kid’s responsibility
How creating checklists makes routines like getting out of the house with your kids in the morning way less of a nightmare
The wonders of bullet journaling for creating the world’s best to-do list to keep track of your grocery list, your daily health habits, appointments, personal goals, meeting notes, and everything else in your life
How bullet journaling reduces your mental workload and stress level as a busy mama
The difference between using a computer or phone versus using a paper journal
How to maximize your kid’s naptime and not waste your time on email
The benefits of practicing digital minimalism on your stress level and sleep quality
