"There's got to be a better way to manage it all – at work and at home," I'd think as a new patent litigator in Boston.
On the outside, I looked like I had it together. But on the inside, I felt stretched way too thin, 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 stuck, I created my own system that worked – and I kept practicing law. It wasn't until 6+ years later that I realized other women felt like I had. And now, I teach them this system. Here's the thing:
By trading in old to-do lists, etc. for a time management system designed for professional working women, you can be more on top of it all with less stress, know when to say no to more work (with confidence), and take breaks – and actually enjoy them.
It's life-changing. Let me show you how – in a step-by-step, realistic way.
A time management struggle is a system failure – not a character flaw.
“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?).
“I’m so grateful! This has sincerely been life-changing. I still just cannot believe how relaxed I am AND still on top of everything. I forgot to mention, I got my husband on board and he has taken the lead on weekly planning sessions for our household/kid stuff and that has also been a dream.”
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
Katie Martens, Martens Law Office, Omaha, NE
“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.”
Put in the work over eight 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 (e.g., Google, Outlook, Apple) in a manageable way so that you have a streamlined and realistic understanding of how you'll get everything on your plate done over time.
As a result, you’ll feel more calm and confident, knowing you have a game plan that doesn't require you to do it all right now. You'll also see where you need help – and ask for it specifically. This applies at work and at home.
Feel like you're living in reaction-mode at work? We'll use your calendar to help you actually be able to focus on the work you know is important – all while also still being responsive. We go through practical strategies to handle email, Slack/Teams, meetings, and the deep work you need to get done.
You'll learn step-by-step how to create realistic game plans to accomplish each of 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.
Learn how to plan – with a step-by-step agenda – so you know nothing's falling through the cracks and you can strut into your weekend knowing you're on top of it all. After my weekly planning session, you'll get a weird high from how great it feels. I've even had a client who called her partner up after it and asked them to go buy a bottle of bubbly to celebrate!
WHEN ALL OF THESE PIECES COME together...
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

When I struggled with time management, many of the strategies I came across were designed 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 in one comprehensive system that molds to your life, preferences, and industry.
Plus, we talk about things like drawing and enforcing boundaries in ways women, generally speaking, tend to be more comfortable with (which means we actually do those things).
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.

While I was decently organized through law school, becoming an actual lawyer quickly left me feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin. As a patent litigator working at a big law firm, 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. 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.
Hey there! I’m Kelly, an attorney-turned-time management strategist & mom of two. Let’s get your life feeling less overwhelming and more simple, organized, and enjoyable.
a bit more about me in case you're curious
Over time, I created my own time/task management system and found new abilities to focus at work with less stress, be present with friends and family, and take breaks – and actually enjoy them.
I now work with women exclusively on time management so women can find clarity and confidence about how they spend their time, feel effective, drive their business/career forward, and soak in time with family and friends.
Over 180 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 at Dartmouth College and Boston College Law School, and practiced law in Boston and California. I'm from all over and love meeting new people.
I now live in Minnesota with my husband (an emergency room physician - so I get weird schedules!), 4- and 1-year-old daughters, 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.
