I’ve been in the habit of scheduling a lot of morning calls but plan on changing that this week… At least the 8:00 am ones that can be placed a couple of hours later. Why? I need some admin time! Especially on Monday mornings. You see I work some on the weekends but it’s usually work for myself. And I try to keep it to the fun and creative stuff. But often on Monday mornings I feel overwhelmed and behind. That’s no way to start the week! So this week, I’m scheduling at least 30 minutes of admin time at 8:00 am for everyday I don’t have a call already scheduled at that time. I will pay attention to how it feels and schedule out my following weeks in the same way. Let’s see if it helps! Do you have any scheduling tips that help lower your feelings of worry and overwhelm?

I am scheduling a date with myself on the first Monday of each month. The first Friday is still my business money date, where I track my business finances. See clear numbers and reflect on how my income is growing. But today was different. I looked at my time. Not just what I want to do…What actually fits in an 8-4 schedule. I moved things around. I removed things. I made decisions I had been avoiding. I calendared the month's VIP and coaching calls. And I feel lighter. Not because I planned more…Because I made fewer, clearer commitments all in once batch. And now it's done and can be maintained as I go. This might be the piece we skip. We might track money. But most of us don’t track time with the same intention. What would change if you did both? First Monday → time First Friday → money That’s a powerful rhythm. If you were to try this… which one do you need more right now? Let's take one step forward together.

Not just “love you” Not just thinking it But actually using your own name Looking at yourself in a mirror And saying it fully I notice this with money, business, and life… We can be building something beautiful And still be quietly hard on ourselves the whole time That tension adds up Try this today Say it out loud, with your name “I love you, Sybil.” Not because everything is perfect But because you are still showing up That’s the kind of energy that builds a life Without burning out Curious… Have you ever actually done this before? Will you try it today?

Mine takes me all the way back to 2006. My first baby had just been born, and we started flipping baby and toddler toys on eBay and Craigslist. We would find toys and play structures at garage sales, clean them up, fix what we could, let our kids enjoy them for a bit… and then resell them for more. Simple. Fun. And honestly, it worked really well. Looking back, it wasn’t just about the money. It was proof that I could create income in a different way. From home. On my own terms. That first dollar shifts something. You start to see what’s possible. What about you? Do you remember your first dollar online?
