The Organized-ish Parent Podcast

If you've ever wondered why routines don't stick, this episode is for you. Most routines fall apart not because you lack discipline — but because they're built for perfect days. When life gets busy, messy, or unpredictable, routines collapse. That's why routines don't stick for so many busy moms. In this episode, I explain the simple Phase One Rule that fixes this problem and helps you build routines that stick — even on hard days. 🔷You'll learn: • Why routines fail after a few weeks • How to shrink a habit so it becomes sustainable • How to attach routines to something that already exists • Why your organizing style affects what kind of routine works for you If you're tired of starting over every month, this will help you finally build routines that last. 🔷Next week: I'm going deeper into the home systems that routines attach to — because without those, nothing sticks long-term.   🎯 Take the Free Organizing Style Quiz: Find out which systems and routines work best for you: 👉 https://DianneJimenez.com/quiz ❤️ Want Personalized Feedback?

In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I'm breaking down why traditional schedules don't work for moms — especially default parents carrying the mental load.

I'll walk you through: Why most schedules weren't built for the reality of motherhood The three biggest schedule flaws that drain moms How mental load and constant transitions quietly sabotage your day Why energy matters more than productivity One simple shift you can make this week to feel more supported This episode isn't about doing more or trying harder.

I'm walking you through how to spot your small wins, why they matter more than you think, and how they quietly build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and create real momentum… even when life feels chaotic.

In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I'm sharing what I learned from spending time at my kids' school—especially during lunch hour. Let's just say: kids are way more capable (and opinionated) than we think. You'll hear what they really want when it comes to helping at home, what's actually holding them back, and how you can start delegating chores to kids without the nagging or power struggles. I'll walk you through real conversations, small shifts that build independence, and practical steps to help your kids step up—so you can finally stop doing it all yourself. 🎧 Listen in and learn how to: ✅ Build trust so your kids take ownership ✅ Turn everyday routines (like lunch prep) into teamwork ✅ Reclaim time and calm at home It's not about perfection—it's about partnership. Let's raise capable kids and lighten your load, one small win at a time. Enjoy the episode!

In this episode, I'm breaking down the power of home zones—simple systems that help busy moms simplify, delegate, and reclaim time. You'll learn how to set up activity zones (like efficient kitchen prep stations and streamlined bathroom routines) and drop zones (for backpacks, shoes, mail, and all the stuff that usually piles up). These strategies cut down on chaos, make delegation easier, and free up your mental space. If you've ever wished your home would just run smoother, this is for you.
