I know all too well what it's like to look like you have it together on the outside – while on the inside, you feel stretched way too thin. That was me as a new patent litigator: constantly anxious I'd drop a ball and never able to be truly present with friends or family during my downtime.
After looking for time/task management help and finding nothing that stuck, I created my own system that worked – and I kept practicing law. Six years later, I realized others felt like I had. Now, I teach them this system so they can get these results, too. Here's the thing:
A time management struggle is a system failure – not a character flaw.
It's life-changing. Let me show you how – step by step & in a way that's realistic and sustainable.
“I am definitely the busiest I have ever been in my life... And yet… I am also probably the most relaxed/calm I have been in a very long time (ever?)...
“This has sincerely been life-changing. I still just cannot believe how relaxed I am AND still on top of everything.”
Rachel David,
Physician & Mom of 3
“Now that I’ve gone through Kelly’s program, I have reclaimed my brain space and have everything in ONE, easy-to-access place. I cannot even express how much more clear my priorities are for my life and my family now as compared to before... This method will pay off for years to come and will only get better as the years go by.”
Dr. Katherine Crites, LX Designer, Houston, TX
“I feel like I have found the map I need to navigate myself through the waters of kids, my business, my interests, and other obligations. It's felt so overwhelming to do everything in the past, and now I feel a sense of calm about getting done what I want to get done.”
Katie Martens, Martens Law Office, Omaha, NE

Put in the work over ten weeks to learn this time management system designed for professional working women and reap the benefits for years to come. Let's reduce your stress, bring you clarity, and help you design and live out a life that lights you up.
Let's Break it Down
We'll bring all of your to-do's and activities together visually in a digital calendar (Google, Outlook, and/or Apple) in a clear, manageable way – so you can see how it's all going to get done over time.
As a result, you’ll feel calmer and more confident, knowing you have a game plan that doesn't require you to do it all right now. You'll also spot where you need help and be able to ask for it clearly – at work and at home.
If you feel like you’re stuck in reaction mode at work, this chapter is where you'll start reclaiming control there. We'll use your calendar to help you stay focused on what matters most – while still being responsive when you need to be.
You'll also get practical strategies to handle email, Slack/Teams, meetings, and the deep-focus work your job requires.
You'll learn step-by-step how to create realistic game plans for your projects – without the last-minute scramble, with improved team communication, and in a way that works for the other parts of your life.
Get ready to feel accomplished about what you got done each day – not defeated by unrealistic magical thinking.
You'll learn how to plan with a step-by-step agenda that helps you stay on top of everything – so you can walk into your weekend knowing nothing's falling through the cracks.
After this weekly planning session, many clients tell me they feel weirdly amazing. One client even called her partner up and asked them to pick up a bottle of bubbly to celebrate!
You'll have a new ability to take control of your work hours & workload
You'll be able to be present and relaxed with friends and family – or by yourself!
You'll get clarity about how you'll get it all done personally & professionally (hello, less stress)
You'll have confidence and clarity about when and how to say no to new projects
You'll accomplish what needs to get done with less last-minute scrambles and stress
“Now I think that I couldn’t afford NOT to take this program. It has changed the way I looked at time and the way my mind processes it. This was a game-changer for me.”
Monica Campbell, Attorney
“This is the most practical, realistic time management program I've seen—and I am a huge productivity nerd and thought I'd seen it all! Well worth the time and money.”
Vivian Kimball, Project Manager, Jamaica Plain, MA
“In 15 years of reporting on productivity tools, I thought I’d tried them all... Then former litigator Kelly Nolan... surprised me with a deceptively simple system... The method has solved my issues of being chronically overbooked and under rested... One month in, I’ve found myself more likely to find time for passion projects... I’m also finding it easier to say no to work and social opportunities.”
Bloomberg Businessweek, Article by Arianne Cohen
Here's what's included:
The option to purchase 1:1 sessions if you want extra hands-on support
“This program was worth the time and money 10x over! I actually told Kelly when I signed up that I was so overwhelmed I probably couldn't even get to the lessons and maybe I had to wait until next year when my work would calm down a bit.
“Oh the irony! I knew I needed it but didn't feel I could squeeze in the time. But the difference it made in just the first two weeks brought so much stress relief that I can't imagine NOT going through it now! For me, 2020 increased my workload and made things more stressful than ever before, and Kelly's program really helped me get more done with less time and ease the stress along the way.”
Dr. Chelsea Pierotti, College Instructor, Business Owner & Mom, Boulder, CO
“Having that single view of all my personal and work to-dos provided incredible clarity and allowed me to work on a game plan to actually get it done… If you are considering enrolling in this program, do it!… My family will be using this program to stay organized for many years to come.”
Kendall Tyson, Sports Industry Front Office
“After working with Kelly, I feel more efficient, and I now have a process/plan and know how to make decisions to get stuff done... I am not overbooking my time because I can tell when my plate is full.”
Molly Debault,
The Law Office of Molly Debault, PLLC, Attorney/Owner & Mom

“Now that I’ve gone through Kelly’s course, I truly feel organized for the first time since college. I know what I need to do, when I need to do it, and how to deal with it if certain tasks take longer than planned or emergencies arise. It has given me a peace of mind that things will get done that I never had before.”
Abby Fanlo,
Ph.D. Candidate,
Stanford University, San Francisco, CA
"Before taking Kelly’s group program, I felt like I must be a failure for not being able to get everything done… I now have so much more clarity and confidence. I no longer blame myself for struggling to complete more tasks than reasonably fit into a given day… I am also enjoying the time I have blocked away for downtime and fun with less guilt.”
Dr. Marytery Fajardo, Physician, Miami, FL

Great question. Here's why :
When I struggled with time management, most strategies I found were created by men, who seemed to have a lot more support at home than I did. Unlike many other systems out there, the Bright Method™ takes into account the number of roles and mental load that women carry and helps you manage them all and lighten your mental load.
Plus, we don’t just talk about boundaries – we explore how to draw and enforce them in ways that women, generally speaking, feel comfortable with – and, therefore, follow through on. That nuance matters.
When I was searching for time management help, I often heard high-level and seemingly simple concepts like “just schedule self-care” and “protect your boundaries.” But when I went to implement them, I couldn’t figure out how to make them work for me in the long term, making me feel even worse about myself.
That’s exactly what I work to avoid here. I show you exactly how to implement, give you more practical examples than you may want, and am here to provide personalized support for you throughout the program.
I want you to walk away from the program with an up-and-running system that’s already giving you that peace of mind you’ve been searching for.
I get that your life may look really different than mine and from other clients I work with. Your industry may have its own quirks. Your family may have tons of commitments. You may have certain preferences that have made other, more rigid systems hard to maintain.
That’s why I pride myself on providing a flexible time management method that molds to your life and the support to help you make sure it’s a good fit. Your calendar is going to look very different from every other woman’s calendar in the program, and that’s great! My goal is not to dictate how your day runs – it's to help you obtain peace of mind, calm, clarity, and less stress through using this system.
To help you get there, during my programs, I provide unlimited email support, show you how to ask your questions without having to type anything out, and provide tons of opportunities to get not only my input - but input from other professional working women, some of whom may face similar challenges to you. We’ll make sure the system you walk away with works for you, your industry, your family, and your preferences.

“Before working with Kelly, I felt overscheduled, overwhelmed and inefficient…
“After going through Kelly’s course, I sleep better. I am less anxious about all that I have to do because I know I have a system that allows me to prioritize the most important things first. I feel more put together and I have more confidence in saying yes or no. My mental health all around is much better… My husband and I are better partners to each other because we're getting all the stuff that takes time out in the open and making a game plan for who does what and when.
“I also had more confidence in pushing a prioritization conversation at work with my boss and business partners. I was able to get alignment to work on 3 big priorities for the quarter - only 3. With two weeks left in the quarter, we're on track to deliver all 3, something my boss didn't expect would be possible.”
Stephanie Ness, Finance Director & Mom, Minneapolis, MN
“After Kelly’s program, I feel like I finally have a realistic idea of all the things I need to get done and a system to track things that’s simple enough that I’ll actually stick with it… Kelly really understands the pain points of trying to balance different roles, and of trying to manage the influx of ‘stuff’ that happens on a daily basis. Kelly teaches a system that’s easy but captures everything and puts it into a realistic context.”
Nicole Cohen, Mount Sinai Health System, NY, NY
“Working with Kelly was such an amazing experience! I knew that time management... was something I REALLY needed to work on, especially as my business grew and more tasks and projects arise, but I honestly was nervous about the idea of it all. Kelly really helped to ease my anxiety around it and has made my scheduling and time management process SO much easier and better!”
Rhea Reid, CEO, Rhea Whitney Photography & Photobomb Academy

Hey there! I’m Kelly, an attorney-turned-time management strategist & mom of two. Let’s get your life feeling less overwhelming and clear, calm, and enjoyable.
While I was decently organized through law school, becoming an actual patent litigator at a big law firm quickly left me feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin. I grew frustrated with how much time I wasted trying (and often failing) to slog through my never-ending jumble of to-do items and email.
Over time, I created my own time/task management system – and it worked. It helped me focus at work with less stress, be present with friends and family, and take breaks – and actually enjoy them.
Now, I teach that system to professional working women. Over 350 women have gone through this program. Each of their careers, families, and preferences are different. And that’s the beauty of this method: it molds to your life. And it gets you results.
In terms of who I am as a person, I'm originally from Minneapolis, grew up abroad moving every six months to three years, went to college and law school on the East Coast (Dartmouth College; Boston College Law School), and practiced law in Boston and California before making the pivot to this work. I'm from all over and love meeting new people.
I now live in Minnesota with my husband (an ER physician, so I get weird schedules!), our two daughters (7 & 3.5), and our original baby, the world's sweetest black lab, Olive.
Let’s get you feeling more calm and confident about how to manage it all. And you’ll be surprised at how much fun we have in the process. I'd love to work with you and get you results.

Not only that, but my confusion about how to get it all done caused me a ton of stress and a weird level of embarrassment for not knowing how to manage it all.
