No more Sunday Scaries

Do you get the Sunday Scaries when you start to worry about the upcoming week?

Or maybe this week it’ll be a little more like:

Here’s what I do on Sunday to make it way less scary:

  1. Take a look at the week ahead and make note of any special appointments/commitments as well as my work schedule.
  2. I consider what 1-3 projects will be the focus this week.

Yup, you read that right.

I highly recommend having no more than three things on your plate at any given time.

It’s okay to pause one thing while you focus on another.

​Check out my latest instagram reel for To-Do List Overwhelm for how this works on the day-to-day.​

Don't let this scare you into thinking that if you temporarily put the other gazillion projects aside this week, they will fall apart.

They will not.

If one of them has the potential to fall apart if it doesn’t get attention over the next 7 days, then it needs to be one of your three projects for the week.

You with me for far, Reader?

Once you know what 1-3 projects will get your attention this week, do this:

  1. Decide the top three actions you can take to move each project forward. I highly recommend you make these actions small steps that can be completed in 30-60 minute blocks of time.
  2. Look at your schedule and find open spots of time you can designate for these activities.
  3. Block sections of time for these in your calendar.

Congratulations! You now made Focus Blocks. 🎉

Your Focus Blocks are appointments with yourself that can adapt to a changing schedule.

Plus, writing down both WHEN and WHERE you’ll complete a task, you DOUBLE your chances of completing it. WOO!

Every summer, one of my relatives inevitably says: “Happy Chindependence Day.” It goes back to 2008. The early days of YouTube, when my roommate and I discovered chin face—that absurd thing where you draw a face on your chin, cover your eyes with a towel, and record it upside-down. Most of my dad’s siblings were visiting for the fourth of July. Twenty-four-year-old me thought it would be hilarious to do a full improv monologue from the perspective of a chin who had declared independence from...

They say a lotus grows from mud. I’ve seen vines grow from concrete. Yesterday, I spotted one pushing up through the crack between my house and our not-even-two-year-old porch slab. Nature is amazing. So are you, Reader. Some of the biggest lessons come from what feels dry, brittle, and stuck—yet somehow, new life breaks through. This time of year, I like to reflect on the past six months and dig up the gems hiding in the rough. Here’s what I’ve learned: I need routine—but one that breathes....

A friend asked me yesterday, "How are you treating yourself right now?" I'm embarrassed to say that I really had to think about it. The first few things that came to mind were all work-related. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. But I don't think those count as treats. Then I remembered that I had a fascial booked today. While booking my next appointment with the esthetician, I took advantage of the bowl of chocolates set out. This morning, I gave myself an extra 5 minutes to slow down and...
