7 Productivity Books for Moms
Do you like self-help books? I have a list of productivity books for moms that I think every mother should read whether she likes self help books or not!
Moms need all the tools they can get to excel at life. She maybe just a stay at home mother, but she needs leaderships skills to be a CEO mom. Moms aren’t born to serve, they need to lead their families with full confidence.
Those leadership skills and confidence will only come when she has learnt time management and how to organize her time to stay productive. I consider reading books to be an act of self-love. I mean you are actually taking out time to learn new things and upgrade your skill-set!
A quote I love is:
If you want ideas get books; If you want to think, find some solitude and if you want to take action find some friends!

Productivity Books Every Mom Should Read
So today, I’d like to share with you five books which I admire and would love for you to read.
1. Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy.
If you want to learn how to stay productive in spite of your busy life, this book can change everything for you. It sure did change mine.
Surprisingly, Eat That Frog is a very thin book compared to others so you can finish it really fast but every chapter is a gem.
2. Get It Done by David Allen
David Allen taught me how to simplify my home and how I do things.
He has written numerous books but this first one is a must read for every mom who cares about productivity.
3. Atomic Habits by James Clear
Habits are what makes and breaks a man(or a woman). Atomic Habits is all about the science of habits and how knowing how to break things down into small, teeny, tiny, atomic-sized habits can help you make progress.
It is another #1 bestseller that moms must read!
4. One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan
The most powerful habit anyone can master is learning how to do one thing at a time. The trouble however is that we never know what one thing that is that we should focus on for maximum results.
This book was an eye-opener! Moms need this knowledge.
5. 12 Week Year by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington
This goal setting book changed my life. When I first started Life Planning in 2015, I didn’t really know how to make progress with my goals. I mean, I am a mom. Life was busy. How do you remember your big life goals when you have dishes to do and babies to rock to sleep??!
Well, this book shows you how to break down your year such that what most people cannot accomplish in 12 months, you can complete them in just 12 weeks.
This book changed my life. It can change your’s too.
6. The New Contented Little Baby Book by Gina Ford
If you have a newborn, this is a must read book that helps you start your children on ideal routines.
From sleep training your child to how to manage yourself as a new mom – it is one book that hospitals should send home with every new born baby!

7. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
The best book you can read to embrace a minimalistic and clutter free life.
It’s that book that sparked a revolution and inspired the hit Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo: the original guide to decluttering your home once and for all. So … you HAVE to read this!
These are my must read productivity books for moms. I’d love to know if you have read any of these!
