How do I stay sane? 7 favorite Mom hacks for not completely losing it!

- Hi guys, today I'm talking about some things that I do to get control over my days spent with an energetic toddler. Becoming a mom teaches us how to prioritize, and do more in less time. Some things that help me do this are:
1. The 2 minute rule: Do as much as you can of a task in 2 minutes and move on. Works when you don't have big blocks of time to set aside and things start stressing you out.
2. Bins to the rescue! - Use bins, baskets and containers to toss all your stuff. You don't have to sort every single item. Your kids will know where something is, and it takes less time to tidy up.
3. Do chores with family, they have so many benefits for kids and you get a few minutes of peace when they are asleep.
4. Contain the mess. Designate messy zones, and pick up as you move on to the next area. Keeps me in a better mood!
5. Save your crystals for a few years later. Keep only things you don't mind getting dirty or broken. It is not worth stressing over stains, broken glass, on crayon marks.
6. Find your triggers and tackle them first. Maybe you can't stand a dirty floor, or a sticky stove gives you anxiety. Deal with those first so that you feel in control.
7. Make time for yourself, do something for yourself everyday, even if only for a few minutes. Maybe this should have been my first point, it is so important!
Over here at Feel Good Mama, we learn from each other all the time, please do share how you maintain your sanity as a mom.
A little about me:
I'm Vidya, a mom to a 3 year old little boy. When I'm not talking about trucks and cleaning up messes, I make videos about pregnancy and new mommyhood. I would love for you to join me on this journey!

You are so welcome!
You are a genuine youtuber vidya..loved the content..
Lovely video as always 😊😊
Really nice and practical...☺️
Lovely video Vidya.. I follow the bin concept too and I just love it 😀
This couldn’t have come at a better time! My daughter just turned 8 months old & after having a hectic Navratri, I was getting really discouraged about Diwali! It’s basically my LO and me all day long and my house is just out of order! I’ll definitely be using this as a guide to help me. I wanted to add that it’s okay to ask for help. Whether it’s from family/friends or hired help! It’s okay :) you can’t always do it alone and seeking help is just as good! :)
My focus this year is to develop allergy friendly sweets/goodies for my daughter rather than cleaning the house. Of course having a clean house is just as important but I’m going to hire cleaners to assist in that area! :)
So true, I was thinking of adding that. Nothing wrong in accepting help. We are made to believe we need to be supermoms. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to those recipes!
Feel good mama thank you Vidya! And you’re right! Supermoms! I think I already carry that title as do you ;) taking care of a kid is no easy task! Kudos to those who have multiple! ♥️
very timely video in a festive season just as you mentioned😄 made my day😄
Thank you :)
My son is 2 years old and I also do the same.. i take him with me in my some routine task and he will do it very nicely..☺️
Sometimes it also happens that we are not able to do anything which we were plan.. but it's ok as you told.. a big smile and hug from our baby makes everything just amazing..
Thank you, it's been a while since you commented! Your son is already 2? Time sure flies!

Hi Vidya I have been watching your videos since m pregnant and these are very useful. I too like to keep things tidy and because of my baby it takes whole day to finish all the work. After watching today's video I will apply your 2 minutes formula. Keep making videos.
Today listened a 5 minute song completely after so many days.
I know how hard that is, good for you!
Thanks for sharing vidya.. will try few of the hacks and see if that works for me.. Quick question when clean up and arrange her toys, right away she pulls everything down. How to teach her that's not correct or control her. I worry about a 19 month old toddlers behavior changes.

I understand u reside in the US. Do you mind sharing us on your baby clothes washing video , like do u hand wash them or use a washing machine ? Your detergent choice, how u scrub their stained clothes when the entire bathroom is carpeted 🤦🏻♀️😅
Sorry for the late reply, I used dreft when he was a baby, and used the washer and dryer as normal. After 2 years I alternated between Seventh Generation and Biokleen.
