“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.”

~Stephen Covey

Hello Loves,

Today I want to share something that I’m implementing in my life to help me actually finish more of the projects that are important to me. 

For those of you who know me, you know that I am already pretty damn organized. I handle my business + life with a fair amount of ease + grace because I follow this wisdom of scheduling my priorities. 

The thing I’ve noticed lately is that my more in depth projects + dreams have kinda been gettin’ the back burner as I complete the more pressing daily tasks of being mama, running a biz, givin’ myself love, you know what I mean.

It is easy to let our big vision go by the wayside as we manage the day to day.

Well, I for one, am ready to change this. 

I want to make more space for creating those beautiful books + courses + retreats + mastermind experiences that are waiting to be shared.

I want to expand my offerings so I can inspire and uplift and help in fresh new ways. 

And, most importantly, I want to do this in a way that feels good. That is fun. That feels INSPIRED not required.

So, I’m beginning with a new {for me} approach to organizing my schedule + priorities.

If you know Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, then you may be familiar with his legendary Time Management Matrix. 

But, have you implemented this strategy in your own life?

For a little more clarity + a funny explanation of how to use this little gem, check out Sid Savara’s post here.  

This week, I challenge you to carve out a little time to examine your to do list and reorganize it based on Covey’s four quadrant matrix. 

Using this tool will help us stay focused on the bigger vision and give our energy and time to the things that matter most. 

Will you try this tool out with me?

Come on, I dare ya. 😉
