For Less Stress, More Sleep, and Time to Focus on What Matters Most
This 6-month group coaching program is focused on helping you build essential time management skills.
I understand—
Time management change can feel like such a struggle. Like there’s never enough time and it will never get better. You may feel like you’re letting others down—and can’t trust yourself.
I'm going to be with you through this, step-by-step.
If you can relate to any of these, Time Management Made Easy may be for you:
You’re starting from ground zero. You have no consistent way to keep track of what needs to get done and you sometimes lie in bed at night worrying you’re forgetting something important.
You have some of the basics in place. But it’s confusing on what to do first. You get distracted. You often feel uncertain that you’re doing the right thing right now. Sometimes you miss deadlines or need to work far too late to make your deadlines- taking time from your family and sleep.
You have a decent time management system in place, but you would like to take your time management to the next level—improving in particular areas like saying, "No", staying focused, and being on time.
Here’s What Happens When You Begin Managing Your Time Well
Time becomes something that works for you instead of against you.
Instead of feeling confused, overwhelmed, and stuck. You can feel clear and calm about how to interact with time in a way that allows you to feel good about what you’re doing or not doing in a day. Once you take ownership of your time management, you open up the possibility of more freedom, joy, and fun.
You no longer feel worried and anxious.
If you have no idea what you need to get done, let alone when you will do those things, it’s understandable that you would feel anxious most of the time. When you begin to have clear, simple systems in place for recording and keeping your commitments, you can shift from worry and doubt to peace and confidence.
You feel calm and confident about time choices.
You are decisive and sleep well at night. Our life ultimately comes down to our choices. If you’re not sure if you’re making the right choices with your time or you’re avoiding making a choice at all, you’ll constantly be second guessing yourself. And potentially you’ll waste a lot of time doing nothing because you’re not sure where to start. With the right strategies, you can overcome the self doubt and be present knowing that you’re making the right choices right now.
You Can Be Less Stressed, Sleep More and Have Time to Focus on What Matters Most
Just Picture It…
You have confidence that you will have time for your most important priorities.
You’ll stop closing your eyes, holding your breath and hoping that your firefighting will be enough for everything to work out. You’ll have a plan for how you’ll accomplish important activities and know what you do or don’t have capacity to do.
You’ll live the life you want, get the things done you want to accomplish, and have time to relax.
You won’t feel like you’re living someone else’s life and you’ll have enough time to take care of yourself, invest in the relationships that really matter to you, and get your work done.
You’ll trust that you’re doing the right things right now.
You’ll stop being filled with doubt about whether you’re making the right choices. You’ll end the avoidance of what truly matters to you. And you’ll finally be able to go to sleep in peace at night without a pit in your stomach.

Time Management Made Easy : Topics
Get Clear: Schedule & Priorities
One of the biggest sources of stress with time is having no idea where it’s going and no idea if you have enough. But overwhelm and guilt can keep you from having the courage to take a clear look at your commitments and evaluate what’s actually possible. In the first module, we’ll get really clear on how much time you have, where your time is going, and how to align your time with your actual priorities.
- How to finally make progress on your goals instead of telling yourself you’ll do them “someday”
- Simple strategies to evaluate how long activities take so you can make accurate time estimates and not be shocked when things take twice as long (or more) than you expected.

Get Organized: Order & Boundaries
Once you’ve established how you want to invest your time, then it’s time to get the systems and structures into place to put your plans into action. In the second module, we’ll cover how to create order in your life. That includes exploring the systems you need in place to organize all the to-do’s and messages coming your way as well as the boundaries necessary to focus on what’s most important.
- Discover the right system for keeping track of tasks in a way that makes sense to you so that you’re not forgetting things and dropping the ball.

- Powerful tools to strengthen your ability to set boundaries and say, “No,” so that you’re able to minimize interruptions and keep your time in alignment with your priorities and values.
- Simple ways to make self-care work for you, including eating better, sleeping more, and getting out to exercise.
Get Focused: Time Challenges
It’s essential to not only know what to do with your time management skills but also how to stay consistent, persistent, and focused. In the third module, we’ll address how to overcome some of the most common time management challenges so you can succeed in your goals.
- Stop being late. Simple strategies to arrive on time to meetings, personal appointments, and calls so you can start being on time and stop feeling guilty for making people wait.
- How to stay motivated and consistent even when unexpected items come up, you feel tired, or you just don’t feel like doing what you know you should do.
- The keys for staying focused in a world that’s constantly trying to distract you and steal your time and energy.
- How to be present with people instead of being physically present but mentally absent.
- Tools for continuing to implement the shifts that you’ve made in this program. Because these shifts have the power to change how you interact with your time, which in turn changes the future of your entire life.

Her coaching has helped me get more done without the stress or the hours that I used to think were required. She has equipped me with a set of tools and perspectives that raised me to a strategic level and put me in control of my time—something I never thought possible.

Q: How much time will I need to spend on assignments between sessions? A: I highly encourage you to make it a priority to attend the sessions live so that you can have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the group. If that’s not possible, then listening to the recordings is a good second choice. The length of the assignments between sessions will vary depending on the topic. I encourage you to set aside at least 30-45 minutes after each call to review the material and work on implementing the lessons. The goal is to implement during the course of the program so you can ask questions, have accountability, and build momentum.
Q: What if I miss a session? A: If you miss a session, then you can make it up by listening to the recording available after each call. Also, I highly encourage you to interact with the other group members in the Facebook group. That way you still get the opportunity to have support and ask questions.

A: It’s a possibility that someone you know can go through this group coaching program with you. However, he or she will need to go through the same application process, and I can’t guarantee that both of you will be accepted.
Q: I want in! Can I just sign up without going through the application and conversation process? A: Thank you for your enthusiasm! It’s greatly appreciated. However, you will need to go through the application process. If your application is accepted, you will then need to have a conversation with me before the decision is made about whether or not you’re invited to participate in the group coaching program.
