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

I’m a huge advocate of taking action on issues you care about and someone who wants all of us to enjoy our lives as much as we can – no matter the circumstances.

So, to that end, here are three strategies to help you maintain your sanity in this whiplash-whirlwind of a world right now.

“The more you confront the facts [that time is finite] – and work with them, rather than against them – the more productive, meaningful, ad joyful life becomes… I’m aware of no other time management technique that’s half as effective as just facing the way things are.” — Oliver Burkeman

I love team sports and thought of the partners and associates I worked with in big law as my case “teams.” But this concept of taking on more and more work to be a “team player” has gotten warped…

When I was practicing law, bonuses were dangled as incentives to bill more hours. And they were hard to resist…

Ah, moving. With two kids. And a dog. Across state lines. And then, five months later, from a rental into a house we bought. While I’m not a moving expert, I’m now very experienced.

Here’re some strategies that made my life easier if you’re going through it.

I grew up as one of three and LOVED it. I’ve, therefore, thought I wanted three kids most of my life.

But, now that I’ve had two kids, I just don’t want the realities of a third. I don’t want to be pregnant again. I don’t want to worry about a pregnancy and delivering again. I want my body back – and I want to keep it. I want to be able to enjoy financial freedom without worrying about providing for another daycare, school, college education, etc. I want to travel again and for it to actually be fun.

In my early days practicing law, I’d be drowning in work. “How could they expect this of me?!,” I’d fume…

I am terrible at creative names for things. Despite business mentors telling me I needed a catchy name, the first 5-ish times I ran my group program, I called it “my group program.”

And even once I started using The Bright Method™, I still referred to the program as the group program.

BUT I’ve made the decision to go all in on The Bright Method™.

That line in a book by the wonderful @sophie_cousens stopped me in my tracks.
