One of the scariest parts about the transition into motherhood (whether you birth, adopt, abduct…whatever) is when you realize you don’t exist anymore. I’m not talking metaphorically. I mean the person that is “you” doesn’t exist anymore. You’re at the park one day and instead of yelling your name someone yells “Natalie’s mom!” and you instinctively turn around. You are no longer just a person, you’re someone’s mother now.

Do you work in every spare second? You feel busy, but you don’t see how you could get more done? You still feel unproductive, like you should be doing more? It’s not you. Here’s why.

Productivity is NOT the same thing as working faster. However, if you utilize strategy and logical testing, you can drastically increase how much you get done and ensure important things never slip through the cracks.
