Provide planning and organization tools to simplify to live your best life
I am a planner. No, literally, I am a planner of cities. I’ve been an urban planner for 15 years, so I am a ‘plannerd’ through and through. You develop many skills as a planner that translate into how you manage and organize your personal life. Like project management, budgeting, record keeping, serving the public, contract management, analyzing, researching, writing tons and tons of reports (in a way that anyone can understand), and on and on.
I’ll put all of my planning and organization tips I’ve learned in my career into the tips and tools for you. Because there’s nothing more I want than to help you feel in control, organized, and on top of your shit.
Keep reminding you that self-care is critical
If you’re anything like me, I have to continually slow myself down and remember that it’s a journey. And along the trip, we need to take care of ourselves. Part of my mission is to remind you that it’s ok to stop, take a pause, and do something that’s just for you.
If you’re so burnt out and overextended that you’re hanging on by your finger nails, it doesn’t serve anything (she reminds herself). I have devoted much time during my life to figure out how I can live my best life, including what it means to make sure I am giving myself the care I deserve. It’s the same care you owe to yourself.
Help you to minimize your stuff
Stuff.
We have a lot of it. I want to help you get to a place where your stuff doesn’t dictate how you spend your time (think constant dusting and organizing), how you spend your money, and how you prioritize. I have been there, friends, trust in that.
Back in 2007, I lost my Dad and Grama within a year of each other. I couldn’t bear to get rid of their stuff. And it was all for sentimental reasons. Pretty soon, the obligation and weight of maintaining everything and my house filled with it all became suffocating. After a couple of years living with it, I decided to keep only the most precious things and let the rest go.
I want to help you release what no longer serves you or adds value to your life.
Keep you inspired to live your best life
Even though we know we’re not alone; the feeling can take over. I want you to feel like you have a friend in this. There are people and processes in my life that help me feel supported, and I want you to have that too. Even if it’s just a post online that makes you feel understood and gives you just a nugget of something to help.
Remember, if you’re feeling it, then there are tons of other people out there experiencing the same thing. We’re here to lift each other up so that we can all live our best life. One that we can honestly say we love.
