How to be a more Productive Mom (even with a NEWBORN!)

[@MiaHemstad]

I can't stop watching your videos! I just had a baby 8 weeks ago, and I have a 2 year old. I'm working to launch an online business, and I often feel like I'm not accomplishing anything when I'm keeping two humans alive each day! Thank you for affirming moms! We need it!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Mia Hemstad oh my gosh you are awesome. What is your business?

[@MiaHemstad]

@@ThePossibilityMom You're awesome!! I am creating a guided mental wellness journal. I've struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life and have gotten a lot of healing over the last year going to therapy and learning how to cope in a healthy way. I feel like God is calling me to use my challenges and experience to help others going through what I went through. You can check out my site at www.miahemstad.com/ if you want! I love seeing that you and your husband are open about mental illness because so many stay silent about it.

Lol i feel like someone with a nanny is on a different level of productivity... I dont say this to be rude at all but most people dont have a nanny. And are a stay at home mom.

[@ipolani88]

Thank you so much for this video. It made me cry. My 2nd child is 1 week and 2 days old and I have been feeling so helpless not being able to do everything I used to. I know taking care of a child is a huge accomplishment but it didn't resonate until you reiterated all the things we have to provide as mothers. So thank you for the pick me up and I am definitely going to try the schedule and the list to give my mind some peace.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Congratulations on your new baby!!!!!!

[@antoinettedominguez7697]

My baby is 6 months now and I'll barely starting to feel like myself and I have been getting a little more sucked into depression because my room is a mess and I don't get a lot done in a day, everyone else says I'm doing a great job because the baby is very well taken care of but I think it's time to start doing more I've got more energy now and I want to get back into a normal schedule

[@ThePossibilityMom]

You can totally do it Antoinette!!!!!

[@kristencarnahan5208]

This was SO helpful! I have a 7 week old and it was deeply encouraging. Thank you

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Glad it was a help ❤️

[@Maria-ok1pg]

Wow! I needed to hear this!!! I love you already. Thank you.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Oh I am so glad it was encouraging!

[@maaikevandijk-bokkers944]

Gave birth a week ago to baby nr 3 and I’m taking it easy for now, partly out of necessity. A schedule is not something I think of now already but will have to when my oldest goes to school again.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Maaike van Dijk-Bokkers I hear you! I feel like the first two weeks especially are such an adjustment. I hope you are enjoying those newborn snuggles and getting sleep when you can!!!!

[@neuperson]

I really need this rn. I'm having 1 month old baby boy and this is my first child. I need to adapt with everything

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Congratulations, and I am glad it was a help! I have other videos on this topic that you may find helpful, especially if this is your first! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6q0m4eYedBjd5Y

[@emilyfoster9782]

Expecting our 2nd in December and I work full time from home so I am hoping that the transition will be fairly smooth. Although I know that it will still bring it's challenges. Thank you for this video and the grace and serenity that you exude through it all! Thankful to have found your channel and the inspiration. I think to myself, she can do it with 7, I can surely do it with 2! :)

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Emily Foster you got this Emily!

[@samanthawilliams5520]

Tnx for suggesting. How to do without nanny or another pair of hands?

[@ThePossibilityMom]

It's harder! We don't have a nanny currently and I have an 8-month old. Luckily we have some kids who can help out, and I do get work done when she naps or even when I am nursing her.

[@cuccia22-70]

Came across this video. I want to say thank you. Am a new dad and some of these thing you talked about is really helped me. I am struggling with a balance. Am handle home work and baby well. The struggle is am not really relaxing for my self. And struggle to get this done around the house. So this video was a big help. Your right. Yes am keeping my baby healthy and alive that IS big. I will lower my expectations. As that is a huge point you have here. So thank you again. Am glad I came across your video.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

I am glad it was a help and that you took away some insights! Thanks for sharing them. I wrote a book that is kind of tailored to working moms but you may find the principles resonate with you just like this video. Look up The Possibility Mom on Amazon or Audible or wherever you get your books!

[@thegreenmother9]

I think I’ve been too hard in my self with trying to get stuff done, I always say I’m gonna do something then I never really get the chance to, but I feel better after watching this video so thank you!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Glad it was a help! I have a resource to help moms organize their time better and overcome all guilt! Check it out here: learn.thepossibilitymom.com/conquer-your-calendar

[@ccc-fd3ls]

I'm going to give birth soon and I already made a schedule to make sure I stay organized after giving birth because having a baby can make you lose track of important things that need to be taken care of.

[@kimora9088]

I’m 32, in the process of transitioning into a new career that will involve my full time commitment and having a baby due in October - I’ll be a first time mom as well...eeeeeeekk. It’s overwhelming to think about and often wonder if I should put my real estate career on hold...I just want to do it all... Thank you for your channel and helpful video :)

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Kimora if you are free this weekend, you should join me at an online conference on this very topic! www.thepossibilitymomconference.com/

[@pattyshepherd6579]

Thanks for this! Just wondering where the kids are when you are working, you time between 1-3? Trying to get some working time myself :)

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Patty Shepherd we have childcare Monday - Friday so that is when I tackle things :)

[@pattyshepherd6579]

Lisa Canning thank you :)

[@BullsEyeRuby]

Currently I’m 3 months pregnant and I have a toddler. I’m in the process of moving and I want to become more productive. I feel like after my first baby I lost myself and I stopped doing everything I loved and I just took care of my toddler. I’m afraid that it’s going to happen again when the new baby comes so do you have any advice? Especially since my husband will be working a lot and I’m going to have a c section cause medical issues 😓

[@Michelle_Westdam]

hey Lisa - we literally have pretty much the same daily schedule!!!! hehe

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Tanya Oostdam LOVE IT!

[@rainyflowwunevilable]

Um so how do you balance trying to be happy, taking care of yourself and your family, taking care of your pets, go out to see friends, connect with God and still take care of a seven month. No one is usually home so I can rarely do anything else I want or need. Keep in mind I am a fourteen year old girl who already suffers from mental problems, I really am trying to balance having a normal teenage life and also give my sister a good baby life but it's been quite hard... Especially seeing my friends get to go out and do things. Please give me some advice, thank you.

[@ThePossibilityMom]

luxurxouslypale pie it sounds like you are managing a lot and being a real help to your family ❤️ your sacrifice matters and it sounds like you are an incredible daughter and sister

[@jojieyabo550]

You are an inspiration!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

[@abigailsy2129]

Kamusta ka na, I love your video, really needed to hear this as a physician first time mom. Thank you Salamat po I wish we could hang out!!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Salamat to you!

[@tetmos99]

You've inspired me to find a good babysitter 💗

[@ThePossibilityMom]

They are worth their weight in gold!

[@Messymodest.catholicmom]

What a great video! So natural and convicted!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Rachel Rumsey thanks friend 😉

[@natashawilson6285]

She lost me when she said she had a nanny

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Well, I have a 4 month old (+7 other kids) and no nanny for the last 8 months, so maybe I should do an update!

[@mayaurbano-aly2768]

Definitely with a nanny, so many things are possible “me time” what is that? Little babies are so unpredictable and you can’t plan anything. I have 3 kids under 5 including a 7 month old and a full time job outside the house. Do we survive? Yes, but the exhaustion is excruciating. My only family are my husband and elderly mom and they’re very helpful. I know things might get easier as the baby grows and sleeps the entire night. Only then will I be able to get decent sleep and get up very early to get things done.

[@americanpatriot6574]

Of course you can get more done, because you have a NANNY! cheater!

[@ThePossibilityMom]

Haha fair point. I haven’t had a nanny for the last 3 years (and 2 new babies) so maybe it’s time for an update video!
