Ever have one of those days where you’re going non-stop but it feels like nothing important actually got done? You’re not alone, and today I’m here to help you shift that! In this episode, we’re talking about simple mindset shifts to help you stop doing all the things — and start focusing on the right things. I’ll break down how the 80/20 rule (also called the Pareto Principle) shows up in mom life and why it’s the key to getting more done without working yourself into the ground.

You'll learn how to spot the tasks that truly move the needle, simple ways to apply the 80/20 rule to your routines, and how to let go of the pressure to do it all. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear plan to go from feeling overwhelmed and overworked to feeling focused and accomplished. If you’re ready to create more peace and progress in your busy life, this one’s for you!

3 Key Takeaways:

  • Focus on the Right Few Things: Learn how 20% of your tasks create 80% of your results—and how to find those high-impact tasks.
  • Small Changes = Big Wins: Practical examples from mom life to help you simplify meal planning, cleaning, and managing your time.
  • Give Yourself Permission: You don’t have to do everything to be a good mom. Doing less (but better) is the real magic.
