86. When Summer Shakes Up Your Routine, Reset with This Simple Micro-Step Strategy
Summer hits, and suddenly everything is off: school’s out, routines vanish, the weather changes our habits, and even good things—like graduations, college kids moving home, or family vacations—can leave us feeling scattered and unmotivated.
If your energy is low and your to-do list feels overwhelming, this episode is for you.
I’m sharing the truth that helps me every single time I feel stuck:
Motivation doesn’t create action—action creates motivation.
Whether your goals are personal, household, or career-related, taking even the tiniest action—a 1- to 5-minute task—can shift your energy and create real momentum. In this episode, I walk you through:
- Why micro-actions are so powerful when you feel unmotivated
- How small wins (even unrelated ones) can fuel bigger projects
- Practical examples from home care, self-care, and job search tasks
- Why writing down what you’ve already done can build confidence and forward motion
This isn't about doing everything. It's about starting with one thing. Then another. And watching motivation meet you as you go.
p.s. If you’re planning to return to work after the kids go back to school, there are simple things you can start doing now—yes, even during summer—to set yourself up for success. Book a free coaching call HERE.
