“You can't master everything. Not everybody is built for that… Just give yourself some grace. And be patient with yourself. And if you don't get it done that day, and you don't get it done the next day, just make sure that you keep trying to get it done.” - Heather Steinker
It’s not easy to be a mom, have a business or job, and raise children at the same time. However, through proper time management, the tasks can be less daunting. Heather Steinker discusses practical tips and strategies to employ such as knowing your “power hour”, setting timers, and delegating tasks in the family.
Following the crumbs in the chaos is a full-time job. As a busy mom of three, a wife to a traveling hubby, and keeping it weird in Austin, Texas, it’s safe to say that Heather’s life is far from boring. Running a household with three young kids takes strategy and a system to keep things moving, like a well-oiled machine. After many moms came to her asking “How do you do it? I swear you have more time in the day than anyone else,” Heather wanted to show them the way! She created Chaos n’ Cookies to help busy mompreneurs stress less and save time through helpful tools and systems to increase productivity in their lives. Heather teaches her clients to be more efficient in their homes or running their businesses, working smarter and not harder.

Key Quotes
“You want to get those non-negotiables out first, and then any very important task, whatever you don't get done. And it can wait, it will go to the non-negotiable for the next day so that you're not pushing it… At least [it] will get done the next day, so it's peace of mind. You can move on to being a mom or doing what you need to do.” - Heather Steinker
“You either cut the time short that you would spend for yourself or maybe with your spouse or your family, because you're going to go and organize a closet, or you're going to go and clean up something and take the time away from something else. So you want to time block as much as you can, and really try to stick with it super difficult if you're not disciplined.” - Heather Steinker

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
