Feeling like your time is slipping through your fingers—especially during seasonal transitions like summer or back-to-school? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by time management coach and fellow mom Michelle Byrd, host of The Busy, Vibrant Mom Podcast. Michelle shares her top 5 productivity hacks that help busy moms manage their time with more ease and less stress—no matter what life throws your way.
We’re talking about the real-life chaos that happens when routines shift (like when kids are suddenly home for summer or your school-year schedule kicks back in), and why trying to do all the things often backfires. Michelle shares how to avoid the most common time management mistake moms make, and why your systems should actually match your family’s rhythms—not someone else’s planner-perfect grid.
You’ll hear how a simple red/green door sign helped my own kids understand when I was available (or not!), plus Michelle’s smart takes on time blocking, batching, digital calendars, and choosing the right task manager for your brain.
If your to-do list feels a mile long and your brain is on overload, you’re going to love these practical, doable tips. Michelle’s advice is thoughtful, honest, and refreshingly flexible—because productivity should support your life, not control it.
