Learning to plan when you don’t like to

Do you want to plan more but hate the idea of being on a schedule? Cringe at the idea of infringing on your go-with-the-flow personality? You’re not alone. So many women I speak to feel the same way. Looking at a packed schedule feels restrictive and stressful for two reasons. One, it’s overwhelming. Two, it feels terrible when…

got nothing done today?

It’s 9:13 a.m. You’ve got a list of important things to do and are motivated to make headway. Yet somewhere between your dings, rings, beeps, and your client who promises “It will just take a minute” (yeah right)…your day disappears. It’s beyond frustrating especially since you HAVE taken action. You deal with the crisis. You return the…

stop starting and stopping

You’re doing 10 things at the same time. (more like 20). Aka: Constantly multi-tasking. I get it. As a CEO, mom, and doer of all things, you have to multi-task otherwise nothing will get done. Multi-tasking isn’t always bad. Like when you fold laundry and talk to your bestie. Or when you take a walk and…

how to reignite yourself

Ever feel like you’re running in place? Like you have a lot of activity but not making progress? Like you’re always busy but don’t have much to show for it? Hate those feelings. When you should be focusing on your superpowers: the stuff you’re great at, the projects and work that light you up… …You…

who knew two weeks could be so powerful

The difference between being successful and not is this: People who make goals and reach them, succeed. It’s as simple as that. To reach your goals you need a plan. Not just a high-level plan…a plan for today, tomorrow, and the day after that. I see this disconnect so often with my clients. They have…

how to stop feeling paralyzed

84 new messages. Dozens of alerts and texts. Client folders pile high. Has anyone walked the dog?! There’s no doubt you have a hundred hundreds of important things to do. So you take the next natural step. You do the dishes. Or jump on IG. Or organize your makeup drawer. Why this? Why now? All the demands on…

how you know what’s truly important

It happened today…and I’m not happy about it. I look a few days ahead in my calendar and I’ve definitely overdone it. Too many calls, meetings, projects, and demands. Too many commitments and yeses to other people and their expectations. I don’t like what I see. Our calendars act as a mirror to our lives….

the absolute best system to use

I have to tell you about THE best system ever. It’s how I manage all my to-do’s and tasks across my life. It’s exceptional. It will totally work for you. Unless it doesn’t. Maybe you’ll hate Notion (my new life management tool). Or maybe you’re an Outlook diehard and hate Google Calendar. In fact, maybe you hate digital stuff altogether and…

i can’t believe how long this took me to do

I couldn’t touch it. It would take days to figure out. My last year’s taxes were messed up and now…a big, fat penalty. I didn’t know where to begin. The backup? The expenses? The donations? Do I still have my bank statements? Should I track down the accountant? When will I deal with this monstrosity?…

why you keep falling behind

I’ve gotten really good at saying “No” to things I don’t want to do. Can you head up the student committee this year? “No thank you, I’ve already got a ton on my plate.” Will you pleeeease come to this networking event with me? “Sorry, but it’s not the right audience for me.” Wanna join…
