Hi, my neurodivergent friend! I’m grateful you’re here. Most people talk about your ADHD as a limitation or problem to fix. And I get it. Organizing things, planning your day, focusing, and simply time in general can feel overwhelming, frustrating, or impossible. But I just want to say that you are not a problem. You are not bad or wrong. You don’t need fixing because nothing is wrong with you. The real problem? Traditional time management tools and strategies weren’t built for your brain. It wasn’t built for the majority of us. Instead of spending years looking for tools that’ll actua ..read more

I hear time and time again that work-life balance isn’t real or isn’t actually possible. And I totally get that. As a multi-passionate/dimensional human…having time for everything that’s important isn’t easy in the society we live in. While I won’t get into society’s failings here, I will say that there are many things we can do as individuals to make the juggling act easier for ourselves. In this blog post, one of my clients Talon will delve into what helped them achieve work-life balance. Hint: It’s not another hack. Rather than temporary solutions, we explored the ratio of work, rest and p ..read more

Back in 2019, I was building my yoga coaching business, teaching yoga, hosting retreats and workshops, all while being an engineer in my 9-5 job. I rarely sat still. Resting felt pointless, and I never felt like I got enough done. I was constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed out. I never had enough time. I know whenever I see someone say that everything changed from this one thing, I cringe. But I’m serious… using a weekly schedule template did that for me. My calendar helped me heal toxic productivity, my tendency to over-commit, and my shiny object syndrome. Doing so allowed me to ..read more

The art of time blocking has the potential to transform your life, both at work and within. Whether you're a freelancer, entrepreneur, or work in an office, intentionally scheduling your day can make all the difference to living the life you want to live. Fortunately (and sometimes unfortunately), technology offers us plenty of tools that can simplify the process of time blocking. In this blog post, I embark on a journey to discover the best calendar apps that make it easier to leverage time blocking in your life. These apps have been carefully selected for their unique features and functiona ..read more

The average person uses 13 tools, apps, tips, or tricks to help them manage their time. Despite all of those tools being available, only 17% of people actually time block. I would say it’s because we’ve been taught a lot of things about time management, time blocking, and planning that aren’t all that supportive. Many of my clients, when they first come to me, feel like they’ve tried everything and nothing really works, meaning they still feel overwhelmed and stressed out on a regular basis. If you’re feeling frustrated because you cannot figure out how to follow your schedule for the life of ..read more

Ever experimented with time blocking and then thought it wasn’t for you? It’s possible it isn’t for you. It’s also very likely that you were taught traditional time blocking. A process that tries to take the beautiful parts of being human out, making it incredibly difficult to use and benefit from. Attaching a task to when we think it “should” be done isn’t all that effective. Neither is forcing ourselves to follow unrealistic plans. There are many different ways to implement time blocking. It all depends on who you are (mind, body, and soul) and your life circumstances. That’s why holistic t ..read more

If you keep finding yourself wondering where your time went, I deeply know how frustrating it is. At this point, you’re wondering if there’s really a solution out there that will help you accomplish what you want in the time you want, without sacrificing your health. Enter time blocking. Others agree with how powerful it is. Time blocking is the most common time management system used (via timewatch). However, one of the main critiques for time blocking is it’s inflexible and doesn’t capture the reality of being a human with ever-changing energy and responsibilities. Holistic time blocking is ..read more

Every single time I work with a VIP Day client, they are shocked to learn just how much they can do with their digital calendar. For this reason, a blog entirely dedicated to all the ways you can use your google calendar. (Plus, I’m sure that I am missing some, hence the + sign in the title, so I’ll be adding more as time goes on.) I truly believe if more people used their calendars in a holistic, human-centric way the world would change. We’d be healthier, happier, and wealthier humans! We’d make the money we want to make! We’d be a force in our communities! The biggest thing keeping that fr ..read more

Your time is the most precious resource in the world, and how you spend it matters a whole lot — Whether you have a business, a boss, a kid, a partner, or not. Every day is filled with different responsibilities and tasks whether you expect them or not. It’s also so important to make space to create, rest, and experience joy. Hence the need for a good tool to help you organize your time and tasks! The world agrees–the planning market size is estimated to be worth US $1020 million in 2021 (1) and the productivity technology industry is estimated to reach US $9.27 billion in 2022 (2).

A life on my terms is what I’m after. What does that look like for me? Right now it looks like running my business, traveling the world with my husband, taking really good care of myself, and surrendering to life’s journey. Of course, living life on your terms will look different from mine. I expect that! No matter what type of life you want, how you structure your days and weeks are so important. Structure that is realistic, flexible, and authentic to you is essential for spending your time how you want to. A digital calendar is the most important and easiest tool to use to help you be the l ..read more
