BEYOND Design: 20% Is Design — Here’s the Rest

Design Your Days (So You Don’t Lose Yourself by Wednesday)


Listen Later

Somewhere between the school bags, the client emails, the dog walk, and making supper… a lot of creatives are quietly burning out.

In this episode, I’m sharing the simple rhythm that’s helping me hold client work and build what’s next — without losing myself halfway through the week.

We’ll talk about why the problem usually isn’t time… it’s transitions.
How to protect your mornings like a studio.
And how to use weekly themes + monthly batching so your podcast/course/products don’t become another stressor.

You’ll walk away with 5 practical takeaways you can use this week — even if life is full and your energy is not unlimited.
