4. Habit Stack for Success:
   Combine health routines with existing habits, such as doing breathwork while your kids eat breakfast or squats during their worksheet time.

   
   



5. Schedule Rest and Recovery:
   Block off time to relax and recharge, whether it’s during your kids’ quiet time or a designated afternoon nap. Rest is as important as productivity!
