Dig into actionable, realistic time management strategies designed for the professional working woman that mold to you.

I had a client recently who announced in this “can you believe what a mess I am?” tone, “I don’t think I’ve ever finished a to-do list.” As though this was some deep character flaw. Most to-do lists are dozens of items long. Some of those items take hours or days to complete. And life […]

Days before my wedding, my mom gave me the best advice I’ve ever received. Leading up to the wedding, I was pretty stressed out. Work had been crazy for months. My rehearsal venue canceled on me the Monday of the wedding week (btw only after I called them to confirm the menu … good times). […]

What 2-hour period of the day do you get your best work done? For me, it’s 5-7am. Pre-kids, I used to get that window all the time. Pregnancy and then a kiddo under 1.5 years old made me have to adapt because … there was no way. For a while, that “works best” window was […]

Motherhood is just like law school. In law school, particularly in the first year, there’s this intensity around finals that’s pretty nuts.

He was probably the best person I knew — kind, hilarious, fun-loving, brilliant, compassionate, friends with […]

I have a theory that boys are taught from an early age what it means to be a strong, firm “man,” but no one really talks to girls about what it means to be a “woman.” Not in the sense of becoming an adult woman who must stand up for herself and protect her boundaries. […]

As you know, I love time-blocking. And I love time-blocking everything, from time to accomplish business projects to family-time to setting up the coffee machine the night before to reminders to start renewing my driver’s license. (Granted: you need to set up your calendar to accommodate this with tech strategies to avoid calendar overwhelm, but […]
