Your usual routine has been thrown into disarray because the kids are doing distance learning at home or have a hybrid schedule. While you may still rise at six to start your morning routine, you’ve been forced into a new routine that includes the kids more than you would like which is increasing your stress levels and reducing your productivity.

Productivity doesn’t mean you should cram more into every hour of your day. Neither does it mean you need to keep mult-itasking to increase your productivity. There is a much simpler solution and it starts with you looking out the window at creation!

I’m chatting with Sandi Schwartz today, and she’s going to share some tips to help you build nature habits into your daily routine which will help everyone in the family feel healthier, calmer and happier.
