DaVette Weibel
For Type B moms feeling overwhelmed by life's chaos, integrating a habit tracker into your daily routine could be transformative. While the term "tracking" may initially sound daunting, a daily habit tracker is actually meant to simplify life, helping you maintain the habits that contribute to a sense of normalcy and wellbeing. Whether it's remembering to drink water or adhering to new routines, habit tracking enables you to keep track without adding stress to your mental load.Habit tracking offers several advantages: it helps you remember tasks amid the notorious "Mom Brain," allows you to visually track progress, fosters self-accountability, and encourages the longevity of new habits. The process doesn’t demand perfection; instead, it focuses on making small, consistent efforts that cumulatively result in meaningful progress. Begin with simple steps like choosing manageable habits, using accessible tracking methods, and ensuring your tracker is prominently displayed for regular use.When setting up a habit tracker, the key is to keep it uncomplicated, whether opting for a paper planner, an app, or a printable chart. Progress over perfection should be your mantra; missing a day is not a failure but an opportunity to resume with renewed determination. Celebrating small wins helps maintain motivation, and by adopting this simple tool, you can reduce overwhelm and foster productive habits that lead to a more organized life.

ABOUT ME

So who is this Productivity Diva?

Hey hey, I’m DaVette 🤍—mom of 3, wife, and a former hot mess express who could not stick to a routine to save her life. I tried everything—planners, apps, waking up earlier—and nothing stuck. My brain felt like 47 tabs open, I was constantly overwhelmed, and I was snapping way more than I wanted to. Honestly, I started to believe I just wasn’t the kind of mom who could “have it together.”

After 6+ years as a health and wellness coach (and deep in my own postpartum mom brain era), I realized something huge: everyone tells moms what to do—but no one shows us how to make it work in real life… with kids, chaos, and zero uninterrupted time. So I stopped trying to force systems that weren’t built for me and created one that actually worked with my mom brain.

Now, I help moms do the same—build simple habits that stick, create time for themselves, and feel calmer, more present, and in control (without becoming a type A robot). Everything inside my courses, planners, and tools comes from what I needed when I was in survival mode—so you can stop feeling like a hot mess and start feeling like the mom you know you can be.
