How to Stick to a Routine (When Your Kids Keep Changing It)

 Motherhood is famously unpredictable, often making rigid daily routines feel entirely impossible to maintain. Constant interruptions, sick days, and sudden schedule changes can quickly derail your best-laid plans, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and chronically behind. Fortunately, the secret to finding consistency amid the chaos isn't about trying harder to force a strict, inflexible schedule. Instead, mastering your day requires a powerful mindset shift and a highly adaptable approach designed to work *with* the unpredictable nature of raising children, rather than against it. Discover how to ditch the endless cycle of self-criticism and build a stress-free rhythm that allows you to accomplish your true priorities, remain beautifully present, and never panic when life inevitably goes off track.

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.
