If You're Thinking “When Would I Even Have Time?”—You're Not Alone

We get it. Life as a mom is non-stop. From school runs to dinner prep to keeping tiny humans alive—it’s a full-time job (and then some). The idea of starting a business, even a simple digital product, might feel impossible.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need hours a day to build your digital product—you need a plan.

Time Management is the Secret Weapon of Every Successful Mompreneur

Creating digital products doesn’t require quitting your job, hiring a nanny, or working around the clock. It just takes:

• Knowing your available time

• Being intentional with it

• Using the right tools to work smarter, not harder

Step 1: Identify Your “Hidden” Pockets of Time

You likely already have more time than you realize—you’re just not using it strategically (yet).

💡 Common time blocks moms use to build digital products:

• 30 min during nap time

• 1 hour after bedtime

• 20 minutes with a coffee in the morning

• While kids are at school or daycare

• Sunday afternoons (aka “CEO Hour”)

Start by tracking where your time goes for 2-3 days. You’ll quickly find blocks that can be reclaimed.

Step 2: Set a Realistic Weekly Goal

Instead of trying to finish your product in one sitting, aim for one small task per day:

This method keeps momentum going while fitting into your life.

Step 3: Use Tools That Help You Stay Focused

🛠️ Top Tools for Moms Creating Digital Products:

• Trello (project management & checklist)

• Notion (plan, write, track everything)

• Focus Keeper app (Pomodoro technique)

• Google Calendar (block working time)

• Canva (design your product quickly)

You don’t need 20 tools. One or two that fit your style will keep you consistent.

Step 4: Eliminate Distractions (As Much As You Can)

We know it’s not realistic to have a “quiet, peaceful workspace” with toddlers. But you can set yourself up for success by:

✅ Wearing noise-canceling headphones
✅ Putting your phone in another room
✅ Letting your family know “this is my CEO time”
✅ Setting timers (20 minutes = magic)

Step 5: Give Yourself Grace

Building something as a mom is no small feat. Some weeks you’ll crush it. Some weeks you’ll barely open your laptop—and that’s okay.

Progress over perfection always wins. What matters most is that you don’t give up.
