As a mother, you have to juggle a million and one different things at once.
You simply don't have time to take a break and stare at the tube for a couple hours.
However, with a little technological savvy-learn how to make the best out of your DVR-- and a satellite TV subscription, you can have your cake and eat it too.
Even if you don't watch that much TV in the first place, what you do watch could make a big impact in your life.
Here are four programs that you should put on heavy rotation on your DVR.
Record them and watch them as you drink your coffee in the morning.
These shows will let you assess your life from a new perspective-they will make you think about how to do things better.
Neat: Neat airs on Discovery Home and on Fit TV, channels you can find courtesy of your satellite TV subscription.
The show follows Canadian host Hellen Buttigieg as she takes her We Organize U mantra to homes across the country in order to root out the reasons behind clutter.
She organizes your closets and transforms rooms, making them pristine and livable.
She'll dish out management tips and figure out how to get out of messy ruts.
At the end of each show, the homeowners are able to leave behind their clutter once and for all.
The show offers great advice for homemakers everywhere.
Soon you'll be seeing the light too.
What Not To Wear: As a busy mother, fashion doesn't always become a priority; most likely, you're keener to throw on something that's comfortable and practical.
And most likely, what you do wear is ill fitting, retro and well, not fashion forward.
On What Not to Wear, impeccably dressed hosts Stacy and Clint offer a poorly attired viewer a shopping spree in New York along with a hair and makeup redo.
You can see the impressive results in HD detail.
The show offers a cornucopia of tips-what goes well with different body types, how to do makeup, what colors work, etc.
Watch the show and soon you'll be a hip fashionista.
Jon and Kate Plus 8: This show which airs on TLC (again consult your satellite TV guide for scheduling) follows Jon and Kate Gosselin and their large brood.
They have 7-year-old twins, and 4-year-old sextuplets-that's eight children in total.
Yes, eight.
So of course, the pair are beyond busy.
Each week you can watch as they juggle their own personal lives while trying to raise eight children.
We see how they cope, how much they spend in a week, how they manage to get organized.
Ultimately, the show is endearing.
You really get to care about the huge family.
It's also a great resource for tips.
You can learn how to economize your own time; and you will learn to realize that your life isn't nearly as hectic as that of the Gosselin's.
The Real Seachange: This show is about living it up in the country-escaping the grind of city life.
You watch 16 families and couples taking the journey, giving it all up to search for a better, quieter life.
Some fail, others don't look back.
Some find their bliss, others find new love and prosperity, while still others don't have what it takes.
This show will inspire you to find your own bliss, even if you're not leaving it all behind.
