Habit stacking sounds simple: attach a new habit to something you already do and watch positive routines stick. But what happens when your daily life includes interruptions, unpredictable schedules, and constantly shifting energy?

In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori Oberbroeckling continues the series What If You’re Not the Problem? Productivity Systems Not Built for You (And How Moms Can Make Them Work) by breaking down the popular habit stacking method made famous by Atomic Habits.

You’ll learn why habit stacking can feel frustrating for busy moms, how unstable routines and changing energy impact habit formation, and practical ways to adapt this productivity strategy so it works in real life — not just in theory. Discover how to use flexible anchors, tiny habit stacks, and recovery-focused routines to support your energy instead of adding more pressure to your day.

If you’ve ever felt like you just can’t make habits stick, this episode will help you rethink habit building with more grace, flexibility, and success.

What if “eating the frog” just doesn’t work when your day starts with lost shoes, spilled cereal, and three meltdowns before 7 AM? In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, we’re unpacking the popular productivity strategy from Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy — and exploring why this approach often falls flat for busy moms.

Discover why “do the hardest thing first” isn’t always realistic, how to reframe your tasks based on energy and capacity, and smart ways to adapt this tool for real life with children, careers, and chaos.

This is Episode 3 in our series, What If You’re Not the Problem? Productivity Systems Not Built for You (And How Moms Can Make Them Work) — and today we’re talking about time blocking.

Time blocking is one of the most popular productivity strategies out there—used by CEOs, planners, and high-performance coaches in books like Deep Work by Cal Newport and programs like Getting Things Done. But what happens when your perfectly planned day gets hijacked by sick kids, spilled milk, or forgotten backpacks?

In this episode, we unpack why time blocking often fails for moms—and how to reframe it so it finally works in your real, messy, unpredictable life. You'll learn how to use themed blocks, build in buffer space, and actually account for the invisible labor of motherhood.

You’re not the problem. The system just wasn’t built for you. But we’re changing that—starting today.
