Can you imagine not feeling guilty about what you didn’t get done today?
Letting tasks roll over to tomorrow without beating yourself up over everything you don’t cross off.
Most people can’t because their worth is tied to their to-do lists.
Yet that’s exactly what my client Ashley did.
When she came to me she was stuck.
Working way too many hours, burnt out, and feeling like she was never doing anything well, (boss, mom, daughter, business owner).
Which is so frustrating because Ashley has decades of experience under her belt.
She puts in extraordinary effort, time, and detail.
She cares deeply for her team, her clients, and her family.
She is amazing at what she does.
Ashley didn’t need help in executing her craft. She needed help in planning.
Getting a handle on all the tasks and projects going on in all the different parts of her life didn’t seem possible at first…
Because putting tasks on a list and even blocking them on her calendar, still didn’t mean she’d get them done.
But we worked through her prioritizing, planning, and perfectionism.
She learned to plan accurately so she wasn’t in catch-up mode all the time.
She learned to focus and have clarity, so she could start and finish tasks.
She learned to let go of self-sabotaging actions that were keeping her back from moving on already.
Full transparency, it didn’t happen overnight.
There was the groundwork to be laid to transform her thinking and behavior.
- Getting clear on her Goals/Vision.
- Refining Schedules.
- Strengthening Systems.
- Delegating to her Team.
- Implementing Boundaries.
And yes, a whole lot of mindset to be able to think in new and more positive ways.
But she did it.
The result?
She goes to bed at night feeling accomplished about what she got done. (Even though her to-do list is still long).
She’s more realistic about what she can get done in a day, so she doesn’t wallow in failure but feels good about her success.
She’s reset expectations with her clients, team, and herself, giving her freedom and well-deserved joy.
It can be the same for you too.
If 2023 didn’t shape up the way you wanted…

You’re worth is not tied to your list and it’s time you stopped feeling that way.
