Welcome to the blog

Several weeks back, I had been feeling unproductive, on the path to burnout, and tired. The boundaries between life and work were becoming blurred. And even though I’m a night owl and love working on my business in the evenings and sleeping in late, I knew something had to change. You know the cycle. Staying up late, sleeping in or staying in bed on my phone, and repeat. I didn’t quit my 9-5 job a couple months ago to spend less time with my family. Since then, my business has been transformed with two minor tweaks! 1) Working out consistently! (more on this next week), and 2) Scheduling EVERYTHING on my digital calendar. Curious? Tune in this week to hear my exact process of how I plan my week on a digital calendar. It’s revolutionized my energy and productivity!

I got this idea and made it my own after listening to this episode of Elizabeth McCravy’s podcast!

How This Works

How I plan my week on a digital calendar might seem intimidating or restricting to you! But trust me on this one. You’ll feel so much more at peace. The key to use specific action items rather than vague goals. Listen in to this episode for a walkthrough of my exact weekly scheduling process.

Ditch the To-Do List… Schedule Everything!

In the episode, I’ll walk you step by step through my entire process of scheduling everything on my digital calendar each week. Once you are complete, you’ll ditch the to-do list that keeps getting longer with no promise of being completed. If you’re anything like me, the to-do list has ALWAYS been a source of frantic energy and a steady frustration. “When will this get done?” “I’ll never be able to do it all!”

All of those thoughts disappear with this system. Why? Because you have scheduled ALL of your important tasks directly into a time on your calendar. You are able to be fully present in the moment with because there is a dedicated time on the calendar for everything. Ahhh! Feels good, right?

Be Flexible and Move Things Around

Just because we’ve now scheduled EVERYTHING during your days from showers to drive time, it is not a ball and chain. You can always shuffle based on what feels right for you in the moment. Now you visually see where to do the shuffling on your digital calendar. So you can still rest assured it all still gets done.
