Let’s have a paperwork party!
Learn a better way to tackle all your kid-related pencil pushing (just in time for back to school 📝)
I’ve been a mom of neurodivergent kiddos for 13 (wild) years now, and it only took me about seven of them to realize this….
Funny mistake that most of us mamas make (that no one realizes is a mistake???)
Starting from scratch EVERY time you have to fill out another dreaded school, doctor, therapy, or insurance form.
It’s not so bad in year one or two, but before you know it, those innocent-looking pieces of paper multiply like fluffy bunnies in springtime…only not as cute.
Then throw in another kid, diagnosis, or both, and your family will be lucky to see you shovel your way out anytime this side of the next century.
We all know that NeuroMom life = ‘Please complete this 486-page form completely with blue or black ink before last Tuesday.’
And that’s not going away.
But the good news is, there is a better (read: faster) way to get it done...
Create a master document with your child’s health, education, and personal info.
So you never have to dig out that insurance card, look up the pediatrician’s phone number, or try to calculate what year they had their tonsils out — ever again. 💥
Imagine, next time a well-intentioned office worker hands you a stack of Xeroxed sheets covered in blank lines, that you return a genuine smile (not that fake have-to-be-nice-but-you-just-ruined-my-life grimace you usually give her) because you have a secret weapon.
You, organized supermom that you are, have a manageable system to keep track of all the important information in your NeuroKid’s life.
And if you’re lucky enough to have had digital files zipped over for your form-filling pleasure, all you’ll have to do is copy and paste.
You’ve streamlined the process of paperwork, so you can get it done efficiently. Like the Magic Eraser but for stress and overwhelm — BOOM gone!
So you can get back to the really important work of loving your littles.
But I know how busy you are. So busy that even implementing “helpful” time-saving strategies takes too long.
So, let me help you wipe this clean even faster.
This month inside the NeuroMom Nest, we’re having a paperwork party. 🥳 (You know you’re a NeuroMom if you actually think that sounds kind of fun.)
Inside, you’ll get a plug-n-play template with everything you need finish your own super-fast master doc to without wasting hours trying to figure out what to put in it.
Plus, I’m breaking it down into six tiny 10-minute mini-missions to help you get it done and ready to reference before that a new ream of forms rolls in.
