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

DaVette Weibel

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.

For Type B moms overwhelmed by the chaotic energy of morning routines, there's hope in crafting a morning ritual that suits your style and needs. The key is to embrace a routine that feels natural — not one that demands waking up at the crack of dawn for intense activities, but one that allows for a relaxed start. By starting slow and focusing on manageable tasks, you can transform your mornings from a frenzy into a launchpad for your day's success.The secret to creating a meaningful morning routine lies in gradually building habits that stick. Begin by selecting one small action, such as drinking a glass of water or setting a consistent wake-up time, and once it becomes second nature, incrementally introduce more elements. This approach ensures that each step is sustainable and genuinely enhances your day without overwhelming you with too many changes at once.Flexibility is crucial, as mornings are unpredictable, especially with kids around. The perfect morning doesn't mean hitting every task flawlessly—it's about making progress and adjusting plans as needed. Celebrate each small victory to keep motivated, and remember, an effective routine is one that serves you well, bringing joy and structure to your mornings without adding stress.

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.
