Do you ever struggle with a never-ending to-do list?

You know the drill, you look at it and your eyes start glazing over because you know you’ll never get done EVERYTHING you want to get done … and you honestly don’t know where to start.

So often you just start with the “easy” task that can be done in 5 minutes, but actually takes much longer, then your phone rings, the email abyss begins, Facebook is blowing up and before you know it, the end of your workday is here and you STILL didn’t get to the important projects that will actually grow your business vs keep it stagnant.

You feel disappointed and in are in no mood to exercise like you said you would.

Then you wake up tomorrow and the next day and the next day and it just continues.

You’re caught in an unhealthy cycle that can derail your business, family and happiness.

You know why?

You have NO SYSTEMS, STRUCTURE or SCHEDULE.

Continuing this is a one-way ticket to Burnoutville.

Well, if you’re ready to forge a new path, I have an amazing TEMPLATE and TIPS to share with you.

I’m going to share the template I use in my business to RECLAIM MY TIME.

The PINK shaded sections are when I’m working ON my business.

The ORANGE is when I’m working IN my business.

And the YELLOW is when I’m spending time on NON-business related experiences, including HOMESCHOOLING my kids, date night with my husband and sacred self-care for me.

I also have plenty of WHITE space on my schedule so I can feel into what matters most here. I find when I’m too rigid I’m out of flow. This white space makes all the difference for me.

At the top of my schedule, you’ll see a section called QUIET TIME. I have this shaded in all 3 colors because it’s MY TIME to decide what to do with it. I tend to get up BEFORE THE KIDS and listen to my intuition on what is the best use of my time with that stretch of QUIET TIME.

I tend to journal, drink my tea, sketch out ideas and perhaps post some things on social media. I go where my energy is … then I shift into the rest of my day, which is a bit more structured as you can see from the template.

Now, when I’m traveling or on vacation or leading retreats, this schedule obviously shifts. And this definitely shifts as we move into different seasons (weather seasons as well as seasons as a family) … but this is a nice view of a TYPICAL week for me.

I actually JUST made some changes to my schedule after I got home from leading a mastermind retreat in Costa Rica. The photo above is the schedule I’m designing for the next season of my life and business.

I realized I didn’t have enough space for some of things I wanted to do, be and have … so I changed some stuff.

You can too.

Moonly magic

At each NEW MOON, I sit in meditation and RECEIVE. This is when I rest, renew and go inward. I feel what’s meant to be felt. I take stock of where I’ve been and where I want to go next. I come face to face with TRUTH.

I set my INTENTIONS about what I want to focus on in the coming cycle. I’ll also then consult my calendar to get a sense of how the next few weeks are going to work and what additional help I’ll need (especially if Steven is traveling on business or I have some big projects brewing).

At the forefront of my mind >> my business commitments + creative needs, homeschool vision, kids’ activities, Steven’s schedule, the moon cycle and my own cycle.

I plan accordingly.

Working WITH the energy, cycles and seasons vs blindly pushing against them makes all the difference. Let it be easy.

I also consult lunar cycles, my own menstrual cycle and Mercury Retrograde dates when planning retreats and project / launch schedules. This has changed everything for me.
