Introduction: Welcome to the 10-Minute Mum Method
Hey, hey!
Life as a parent can feel like an endless juggling act, can’t it? Between the school runs, work deadlines, meal prep, and never-ending laundry piles, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stretched totally thin. You want to feel in control, but sometimes it feels like you’re just surviving.
I’ve been there too. But let me share something that transformed my life and can change yours too: The 10-Minute Mum Method.
This method isn’t about overhauling your life overnight. It’s not about finding hours of free time you don’t have. It’s about taking small, intentional actions, just 10 minutes at a time, to create calm and progress in your life.
Because here’s the thing: You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do something.

What Are Anchor Actions?
The 10-Minute Mum Method is built around Anchor Actions, small, meaningful tasks that ground you and move the needle in different areas of your life.
Here are some examples of Anchor Actions:
- Mindset: Write down three things you’re grateful for.
- Family: Spend 10 minutes playing a game or reading with your kids.
- Self-Care: Take a short walk or enjoy a quiet cup of tea.
- Home: Declutter one shelf or tidy up a single drawer.
- Business: Write down your top three priorities for the day.
The beauty of Anchor Actions is that they’re simple, yet they create a ripple effect of calm and progress.
How to Get Started with the 10-Minute Mum Method
Ready to give it a try? Here’s how to get started:
-
Brain Dump Everything on Your Mind
Take a piece of paper and write down everything swirling in your head, from to -dos, to worries. This clears mental clutter and helps you focus. -
Identify One Priority
Look at your list and ask yourself: “What’s one small action I can take in 10 minutes that would make a difference?” Circle it. -
Set a Timer and Take Action
Commit to just 10 minutes. Use a timer to keep yourself focused, and dive into your chosen task. -
Celebrate Your Progress
When the timer goes off, take a moment to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished. It might seem small, but every step forward is worth celebrating.
