SJP #050: Kristi Clover: Productivity Hacks for Busy Moms
Feb 16, 2018Simply Joyful Podcast — Kristi Clover: Productivity Hacks for Busy Moms
It got me thinking about my own race. This life race that I’ve been blessed and honored to run. I guess I don't always think about it like that most of the time. Watching these athletes give their all in competition and knowing the discipline that it takes to even get to that level of sports is amazing.
It's motivated me to reassess what we are allowing on our plate. So, I'm sharing about how I do things a little differently than others — and some of my productivity hacks. I hope you enjoy, get ready to be encouraged!
Listen Here:
Highlights from the Show:
- Here are a few verses that I refer to about the “race” we are running: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, 2 Timothy 4:7, and Hebrews 12:1.
- The battle many of us face is busyness — and the battle for balance!
- I share a bit about the crazy few months that we've had and how it's meant that lots of things got moved to my plate this month.
- Date nights are priceless. Time to get away and process all the things going on in our family is so important. I love getting time alone with Steve. We're not always consistent, but we need to be.
- Our approach to re-balancing things going on in our lives is to take everything off our plate — and then put back what is most important. We slowly evaluate what we think should stay, change, or not go back on.
- I mentioned that one thing I had to do was to postpone the launch of my Meal Planning Made Easy course. It breaks my heart not to give that project time. However, it didn't fit on the plate for this month.
- One of the fun freebies I created for my Simply Joyful Business friends was a “Productivity Hack” tip sheet for Entrepreneurs. I realized that many of the tips on there can be applied for moms, too. So, I created one for moms here. You can get your copies below.
- I am obsessed with Jeremiah 17! I have so much fun dissecting it. One of the “hacks” I mention involves this verse.
- I love whiteboards! I use them for my brain dumps. I can't wait for you to listen to my episode with Emily Ley next week to hear how she uses poster boards.
- I mentioned my Sanity Savers for Moms book a few times on this episode. I'd love for you to get your free digital copy of it: HERE. One of the chapters in there is on planning ahead. So, don't miss that one. Here's a post I did that talks a bit about planning ahead for better mornings.
- Simply Joyful Business! I've started a new section of my website that is devoted to encouraging budding entrepreneurs to build a business that brings them joy. I also mentioned about B-School — this program has literally changed my business life. Such a wonderful resource and a great investment. I would love to help you start your business journey and help you create a business that you love!
- I love doing #MomHacks and #DITL moments on Instagram! I'd love to have you follow me there.
- I referred back to my podcast episode with Mystie Winkler about “brain dumps.”

LOOKING FOR HELP WITH HOMESCHOOLING?

You may not have seen that I have a brand new How to Homeschool webinar that is now available for instant access. This webinar is ALL of my best homeschooling tips gathered from the six years of speaking at homeschool conventions all wrapped up into one webinar. This is a crazy-amazing resource for you or anyone you know who may be considering homeschooling for the first time ever. With all the new homeschool families this year, I wanted to make sure they had all the best resources possible. The webinar goes over how to get started, how to homeschool simply (even without curriculum), how to balance homeschooling with working at home and just life, how to save money, how to homeschool your school-aged kids with littles in the house…and so much more!
