Tools to Keep your Day on Track

Let’s be real—working from home as a mom is the ultimate juggling act. One hand's holding a laptop, the other’s cutting crusts off sandwiches, and somewhere in there, you’re supposed to look like you have it all together (hello, Zoom). Whether you're launching a side hustle, running a business, or climbing the career ladder from your couch—this post is for you. Here are 15 things every work-from-home mama needs in her toolkit—because the chaos might be unhinged, but you? You're in charge.

1. Skylight Calendar
Keep your week visually laid out so everyone in the house (including your partner who never remembers piano lessons) knows what’s happening when.

2. Notion or ClickUp for Moms
Build your own dashboard to track everything from client calls to Costco lists.

3. Time Cube or Pomodoro App
Stay focused between snack breaks with 25-minute work sprints and 5-minute legos.

4. Alexa Routines
Set your smart speaker to launch “work mode” (coffee, diffuser, playlist—activated).

5. Catch-All Notebook or Rocketbook
Brain dumps, biz plans, kid quotes—all in one place. My personal favorite- the Remarkable 2, and it now comes in color as the Remarkable Pro!

6. Standing Desk Converter
Because “mom back” is real. And real painful.

7. Color-Coded Family Planner
Assign everyone a color. It's organization and art.
