Many of my coaching clients seek help with schedule management and improving work flow/productivity. For this month’s newsletter I’ve decided to include my upcoming week’s schedule.
Like many others, my life is a tricky balance between work responsibilities (clinic, coaching business, admin for family acting school business), family and maintaining my own physical/mental health.
My biggest challenges are meal planning (an ever-changing balance between home-cooked meals/quick processed food/take-out) and carving out white space (time to THINK….something I realized during the pandemic that I need a lot of).
Here’s the upcoming week:
