Allyson is a homeschooling mom and small business owner with a full, busy life. She and her husband, along with their two sons (ages 10 and 12), have a dynamic schedule that combines homeschooling, his two jobs, and Allyson’s business. Keeping track of it all—school plans, client needs, home maintenance, and family schedules—was a lot. The mental load left her feeling overwhelmed, and her analog systems weren’t helping. But then eeva came into the picture: “eeva is genius. It’s like having an extra person in my corner who knows my life as well as I do.”
Initial Goals
Allyson’s main goals through this case study were to:
- Centralize family tasks and calendar into a single digital hub.
- Improve collaboration with her husband on managing household responsibilities.
- Reduce the mental clutter of juggling multiple systems and papers.
- Teach her kids how to better manage their time and tasks as they grow older.
Experience with eeva
Favorite Features
- Shared Access: Allyson found managing her family’s day-to-day became a breeze with eeva. By consolidating their schedules, chores, and activities in one place, both she and her husband stay on top of what’s coming up, reducing missed events and the need for repeated reminders. “It’s been amazing to have everything in one spot instead of juggling two calendars and paper notes!”
- Syncing Tasks & Calendar: Combining tasks and calendars in one app was a game changer for Allyson. She no longer switches between paper lists, the fridge schedule, and digital calendars. She didn’t realize the toll it was taking! Now she feels on top of all her life’s moving pieces—and delegates tasks with ease. “I just say, ‘go check eeva!’”
- Emergency Backup: When a natural disaster struck her area, Allyson saw firsthand how useful eeva can be in a crisis. She organized her family’s evacuation, kept track of updates, and had a catalog of all her home’s belongings ready. “Leaving my home made me realize how important it is to digitize everything!”
- Personalized Platform: Allyson loved how eeva provides a flexible structure that adapts to her lifestyle. “It’s like eeva meets you where you are, rather than forcing you into a mold.” She was surprised by how quickly she realized just how useful eeva is. “I know I have a lot to do, but here’s an app that handles ALL my adulting—and it’s super customizable!”
Improvements Noticed
- Better Coordination: Allyson and her husband are both more involved in household tasks now. With everything in one place, she doesn’t have to repeat herself as much, and her family members are more proactive—no more endless reminders. They can easily see what needs to be done and add it to the calendar themselves.
- Smoother Homeschooling Routine: Homeschooling has gotten way easier. Allyson can now manage her kids’ assignments and activities with less hassle, keeping things moving smoothly.
- Reduced Mental Clutter: With ADHD and mom-brain in full swing, Allyson was constantly interrupted with questions she had already answered. Now, with everything in eeva, her husband and kids have access to the info they need, so Allyson enjoys more peace of mind and less mental overload.
Biggest Wins
- Delegating to the Family: Allyson’s family is now way more self-sufficient. When her husband or kids need something, she just says, “It’s in eeva!” They can get the info they need without bothering her, freeing up her time and energy.
- Better Work-Life Balance: Balancing business and family life has become a breeze. Allyson spends less time trying to remember things, so she can focus on what matters most—whether that’s family time or a little self-care.
- More Family Involvement: Her kids picked up eeva quickly and love using it! It’s now a natural part of their daily routine, with each family member having their own relationship with the app.
Future Potential
Allyson can’t imagine life without eeva, and this is just the beginning.
- She’s excited to bring even more family members on board for better collaboration and organization.
- She and her husband are planning to use eeva to help them prepare for homeownership, setting up a “homeowner” mindset with eeva’s flexible home management tools.
- Allyson is also looking forward to planning family vacations with ease and being even more prepared in case of a crisis.
- She’s excited to continue teaching her kids responsibility by letting them use eeva to manage their own tasks.
- Allyson can’t wait to share eeva with her network and clients to help them lighten their mental load and boost collaboration in their households too.
Key Takeaway
Allyson is a true bel-eeva. What started as a way to organize her family’s schedule evolved into an essential tool for reducing mental clutter and boosting family collaboration. Allyson believes eeva has “taken a gap in society and filled it with a fantastic product” that can help so many people. We couldn’t agree more, Allyson!
