Time blocking doesn’t work for everyone. I know this is popular with all the productivity gurus, as a self-proclaimed guru here is your permission to toss it in the bin.

Time blocking is always presented as the ultimate productivity solution, but what if it just doesn’t work for you. Then you feel like you failed, and you will never get this time management thing figured out. The only thing left to do it is to eat chocolate and drink coffee in your room while pondering what a failure you are. Right? Asking for a friend.

Just because something works for your best friend, sister, or random internet stranger doesn’t mean it will work for you. And it not working for you doesn’t mean you are a failure or you will never have a productive day.

It is ok if a popular idea, that seems to work for the whole internet, doesn't work for you. Or if that popular idea fits you well, then keep doing it.

Moms working from home, we all want to get stuff done without losing our minds. Most days that happens, but it does take some planning.

If you want a day without the chaos, yes, it is possible, then you need to have a plan and implement that plan. Your plan will probably look a lot different from mine, but there are things that we can all do to lessen that chaos and have a day without the stress…at least for most days. We need a working at home mom survival guide.

Are you fed up with all the promises on how to achieve goals that fail again and again? If you need a practical solution to crush your mom goals, this is for you.

I want you to walk away from this post with actionable steps to take. Once you are successful with one, you can come back to the post and start on the next one.

Like I’ve said throughout this series, I was so frustrated hearing the same thing over and over. And it didn't matter how many different ways I tried to make it work, it just didn’t work for me. No matter how well I followed the steps.

I needed to figure out a system that was realistic for me as a homeschooling mom, momtrepreneur, and all around busy person.

You have habits. I have habits. Whether good or bad, we all have habits that will propel us forward toward our goals for life. Or keep us from achieving them.

If you truly want to achieve your goals for life, then you need to look at the habits you've formed. Because habits are such an integral part of you. Remember, habits are something that you do almost involuntarily. You need to really look objectively. Or get someone else to give you objective insight.

Habit are going to take you from the frustration and failure of not achieving your goals to the engine that drives you forward to achieve them.

Are you tired of following all the all the steps to accomplish your goals in life, just to fail again and again?

Welcome to part 2 of the setting goals in life series. This series is for the mom who is tired of trying goal system after goal system, only to fail by February. Every. Single. Time. In part 1 we went through why the highly popular goals in life systems don't work for moms (these systems are usually not written with kids in mind).

In this post, we are going to get into some of the very practical steps of goal planning for moms. So you can plan your goals in life and crush them like a mom boss.

It is estimated that 92% of people don't achieve their goals. One of the most popular goal setting theories is SMART goals. But if 92% of people don't achieve their goals, then maybe it is time to try something new.

Let's do it differently. Mom you can accomplish your goals, so let's start with some very practical tips.

When you hear the words goal setting what feelings are brought to the surface? Excitement? Expectation? Eagerness? Or dread? Trepidation? Dismay?

There are so many goal setting systems that everyone says are foolproof. "Just do this and you to will accomplish your goals every time."

A few years ago, my husband and I were dragged down the rabbit hole of goal setting. We were promised that if we just followed these steps, we would totally crush our goals. So we paid the exorbitant price for the class, watched it from start to finish, set up our Evernote notebooks as we were told to do (I hate Evernote by the way), and started with enthusiasm to take on the world and conquer it (after coffee, of course).

You probably can guess what happened next. March rolled around, and I was so far behind on my written goals that there wasn’t any way that I would catch up. So I had to let the list go. Let the goals go. And let the idea of accomplishing everything, go.

Amidst all of this letting go, I had an epiphany. You know the sudden intuitive perception, insight into reality kind. It was this. The reason I wasn't crushing my goals as promised was not because I did anything wrong. I mean I followed the steps. I couldn’t accomplish my goals because the system wasn’t designed for moms.
