## 3. 📋 Plan One Thing (Not Everything)

 

Don’t overload your to-do list.

Instead, ask: *“What’s one thing I can do today that would make me feel accomplished?”*

 

That’s enough.

## 4. 🍼 Prepare Baby Supplies the Night Before

These moments build connection and reduce stress.

## 8. 😴 Forgive Yourself and Rest

 

Didn’t clean? Ate cereal for dinner? Forgot a text?

You’re doing your best — and that’s more than enough.

 

Rest is productive. You matter too, Mama.
