Aloha Entrepreneurs,

It’s been one of those good weeks where the little things make a big difference. I finally bought a new sink at Costco, found my socks (small miracle!), took a short walk, and even cooked chicken in my slow cooker for the first time.

I’m still unpacking and tossing things out, but I’m feeling back in the land of the living. Oh — and meet my new front-yard friends, “Sissy and Jasper.” You’ll learn more of their story soon on Instagram!

Being Flexible Always Works to Your Advantage

Ever have one of those weeks where you feel completely burned out?

That was exactly how one of my clients felt recently — her calendar was overflowing, her inbox never stopped, and she could barely find time to think — let alone plan. Every day felt like she was chasing her tail, just trying to keep up.

She was drained. Her creativity had vanished, her motivation flatlined, and she finally said, “Something has to change.”

I suggested she take a deep breath and start using my Sunday Planning System — a simple, powerful way to reset your week and regain control.

Here’s how it works:

✅ Schedule 40–50 minutes on your calendar
✅ Find a quiet corner
✅ Make yourself your favorite beverage
✅ Look at your week in “time,” not just tasks
✅ Do the Time Block exercise
✅ Identify your focus for the week
✅ Create an action list
✅ Prioritize your top three tasks
✅ Sync all appointments and tasks from your planner to Google Calendar
✅ Wake up Monday morning ready for a productive week!

When you schedule this one hour of planning every Sunday, you’ll notice the difference immediately — your week feels smoother, lighter, and more purposeful.
