Episode notes
Are you a working mother struggling to balance it all without burning out? In Episode 8 of The Self-Care Journey, Maggie Webber — The Working Mother's Mentor — shares the 3 R's framework: Rest, Recreation, and Reward, the often-overlooked counterpart to taking massive action.
Maggie also breaks down her best-loved time management strategies so you can do more in less time, without the guilt:
- Why starting your day early (and ditching the snooze button) can transform your productivity
- How to prioritize tasks using the "eat that frog" method
- Parkinson's Law — and why giving yourself too much time actually makes tasks harder
- How to use calendars, color-coding, and accountability partners to stay on track
- The power of planning tomorrow the night before for a 20% boost in weekly output
If you're a working or single mother who feels like she's doing four people's jobs at once, this episode is your permission slip to rest, recharge, and reward yourself — without losing your edge.
