My schedule and weekly workflow is always open for negotiation, but over the last handful of years I\u2019ve really found what works well for me and our family, and I wanted to share it in more detail than I have before because I know how that can be really helpful. What works for my business model and schedule may not translate exactly for you, but when you hear WHY I\u2019ve chosen to set my weeks up this way, it may give you some things to consider or try when planning out your own schedule. So I\u2019m going to take you through my week, day by day, and share how I\u2019ve designed those days and again, WHY it works well for me.   On this episode of BEYOND, you'll learn:   \u2022 My philosophy about weekend work \u2022 Why I call Mondays my "get it done" days \u2022 How I frontload my week for simplicity and ease \u2022 Why I've chosen to have just two days each week that I work with clients \u2022 How I "bookend" my weeks to protect my energy, give my weekends plenty of margin and leave room for "catch up" time \u2022 How I build in both intention AND flexibility into my schedule \u2022 How I prevent "client days" from looking like draining, back-to-back-to-back Zoom calls \u2022 What it looks like to accomplish full-time productivity on a part-time schedule \u2022 Why I LOVE taking Fridays off, and how you can do it, too   Designing an intentional schedule that maximizes your time, energy and capacity and supports your family's values is one piece of creating a SIMPLIFIED business.
