You don’t need more time —
you need to take control of the time you already have
If time is money, then you need a budget. For the next 30 days, track every single thing that claims your time — no exceptions. Be brutally honest, or don’t bother doing it.
We’re talking: → Breakfast, laundry, dishes, dog walks, gas stops, TV, responding to texts, scrolling “so-me” (that’s social media, by the way), email replies, meetings, commutes, mindless YouTube holes — all of it.
💡 Pro tip: Your phone tracks screen time by app. The truth is right there in your settings.
This exercise will feel tedious — but clarity always comes before change. You cannot optimize what you refuse to observe.
Now that you’ve faced the truth, map the next 30 days. Know what’s coming. This isn't a vibe check — it’s a battle plan.
Identify available time pockets before they get hijacked. Anticipate chaos so you can plan for calm.
We are going to get in the habit of knowing how each month (and quarter) is going to play out - of course there may be schedule hiccups - but we’ll plan for this as well - so we are not scrambling for someone to cover for us at work last minute because we forgot about that important doctor appointment.
Planning isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating space for intention and margin.
While you are in the Forecast Headspace, move those "get to one day" items off your To-Do List and actually schedule them on your calendar.
A long list looks productive but produces nothing. Block actual time on your calendar for each task — even the 10-minute ones. If it’s not scheduled, it’s not happening. Full stop.
Once you start “checking” them off your list (I mean calendar) You will feel energized to start completing more action items until they are all To-Done.
You now have more time, and mental real-estate for what’s really important, your exciting new side business.
You’re not too busy — you’re too forgetful. (At least I was. Okay I am) Stick reminders everywhere. Deadlines. Calls. Ideas. Brain dumps. Visual nudge = mental clarity.
We all have numerous things trying to claim our attention and we forget to do the things that are most important. I want you to start getting in the habit of leaving notes for yourself on reminding you of where you are “supposed to be spending your time.
Post-it notes interrupt auto-pilot. They redirect you back to your priorities when the world tries to pull you elsewhere. This tiny tool can retrain your brain to honor your time.
Don’t forget to use digital reminders in addition to the Post It notes. Too many reminders does not exist!
This one’s for my fellow control freaks (hi, I see you). You did the audit — now pick ONE task (or more if you’re feeling ambitious) to delegate.
Maybe it’s groceries. Maybe it’s email responding. (Virtual Assistants are a 10/10 for me) Maybe it’s folding the laundry.
Outsource it. Trade favors. Pay someone if needed. The point is to release something so you can reclaim mental and emotional bandwidth. This isn't a weakness. It’s leadership.
Your dream will demand more of you. That means you have to do less of what doesn’t move the needle.
Stop over-committing to work lunches, volunteer duties, or last-minute plans. You don’t owe anyone an explanation beyond, “I’m prioritizing something important right now.”
Let “No” be your new power word.
We wait often. Grocery store line, bank, DMV, public transportation, retail stores, etc.
Next time you find yourself - even just for a few minutes - having to wait, do it productively.
Close out the social media (what I call so-me) and read a couple paragraphs on the book you downloaded that is aligned with your small business. Or watch that YouTube video showing you best practices on being an entrepreneur in your field- on your earbuds if you're in public, of course.
Every moment counts.
Smart multitasking isn’t lazy — it’s efficient. Stack your chores with small wins.
This isn’t about ghosting or drama. It’s about setting clear boundaries. There’s someone in your life who means well… but costs you time and energy. You know who it is.
Say something like:
“I’m carving out the next 30 days to focus on a major personal goal. I love you, but I won’t be as available. I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on when we reconnect.”
This is about energetic discipline. Every conversation, every coffee date, every venting session takes time. Protect yours. You’re building something important.
Yes, this sounds counterintuitive to all the other things on the list but as much as I encourage you to use each moment of your day productively, this one's the most important.
In order to be a high yielding life performer, you need to give your mind time to refresh, relax and reboot.
This is a good time to use those Post It Notes so you don’t forget to set time in your busy calendar just for you and your brain.
Let's see if we can work together!
