A few months ago, I transitioned to being a full-time stay at home mom. I was only working part-time up until then, so I thought it would be an easy change. It most definitely was not. I had to shift my expectations and systems to find a way to get things done without being too stressed. I have 8 productivity tips for a stay at home mom who needs them so you don’t have to figure them out the hard way like I did!

(I’ve previously written about 5 tips for stay at home mom productivity if you’d like to see how my thoughts have changed.)

I was so excited for summer to start this year so I could be home with Mac. I had all of these ideas to get things done around the house and on the blog while also having a great, fun summer with Mac. Of course that all went by the wayside when summer actually came and frustration set in. My house was still a mess and my to-do list never got shorter. Finally, I had to stop myself and ask why in the world I was getting nothing done when I had tons of time. After some soul (and Pinterest) searching, I finally came up with five secrets to stay at home mom productivity.

P.S. I have updated my tips! Make sure you check out the 8 easy tips I now have to be a productive stay at home mom.

P.P.S. I moved into a larger house now and I’ve come up with a newer, better cleaning system that only takes 15 minutes a day! Make sure to check it out.
