As parents (especially moms we are juggling a never-ending to-do list at all times. The mental load we carry is diverse and vast and can feel overwhelming. A big reason for the overwhelm is that we have to hold on to so many things, mentally, for an extended period of time. If we let them go, we know they won't get done — they require reminders, either for ourselves or others in our family.
Imagine if there were a way to park the reminder mental load, knowing that these ever-important reminders will be delivered to the exact right person precisely when that person needs to be reminded. Guess what? Your dreams of a lighter mental load can come true with Agenda Hero.
Last week, one of our early adopters, Crystal Britt, took to Instagram to share the magic of Agenda Hero's text reminders with her community. Crystal is a family therapist, social worker and mom herself, which is why when we saw her video our team was elated. To a founder, there’s no better feeling than seeing your product provide daily value.
We’re going to let Crystal express this in her words as she gave life to the power of Agenda Hero perfectly:
"So, I have to put you guys onto something because I used it this morning, and I keep forgetting to talk about it. If you have ADHD and you are a parent, a child-parent, pet-parent, child-free, this is a game changer for my neurodivergence."
"Okay, so this is Agenda Hero — this is what I use now in conjunction with my schedule, my husband's schedule and all three of our kids’ schedules. Two are in elementary school and one is in pre-school so all three have different things that they have to do on any given week. Let me show you how I use it..
"Here's where it gets really useful, Friday is dress up as a book character or pajamas day because they are celebrating a thing at the school. I am never going to remember that. I also think Friday for my youngest is dress up like an animal day, she has a completely different schedule. So here's the magic of Agenda Hero: within each event, I can have a text message reminder sent to me not only on the day of, but at any time. It will send text reminders to anyone.
"If you have older kids you can send them reminders like, 'hey you have a test today remember to eat breakfast' or 'hey, don't forget the 5 dollars on the counter before you leave today.'
"My personal favorite part is that in terms of domestic labor, I am keeping the calendar, I am entering all of it into Agenda Hero, and I am asking my husband to enter in his stuff, but the beautiful part is, no on can say they didn't know. No one can say they forgot. No, nope. it was on your device. It was sent straight to your device and I know you looked at that this morning. So, Agenda hero.. 10 out of 10.”
