- What I Do on CEO Days
I block one full day each month to have a CEO Day. You might have heard other business owners talking about CEO days or 'stepping into your CEO role'. At some point, you may have wondered, "What does that even mean?! What does that actually look like?"
Stepping into your CEO role can start with a really simple, even enjoyable, ritual: a CEO Day.
Today, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing what I do on CEO Days as a multi-passionate entrepreneur. I'm also sharing how you can quickly and easily build this ritual into your business to increase your productivity too.
What's a CEO Day?
A CEO Day is a day set aside for you to reflect on what's happening in your business and make intentional, strategic decisions about how to move forward.
What to do on a CEO Day?
I do three things during every CEO Day. Every business is different, so your CEO Day checklist will look slightly different too! But no matter what type of business you have, there are three things every CEO will want to do on a CEO Day:
- Review the previous period or month.
- Preview the upcoming period or month.
- Create a STRATEGIC plan for the upcoming period or month.

1 hr 6 min - What's a Business Minimalist?
From the moment I named this podcast, “The Business Minimalist” I knew that I wanted to create this episode. I mean, if anyone should answer the question, "What's a Business Minimalist", it should be me, right? But defining exactly what a Business Minimalist is (and isn’t) has taken me some time to put into words. Ultimately, becoming a Business Minimalist has more to do with what you believe than the type of business you own.
You can be a Business Minimalist as a solopreneur who makes $50k per year, or you can be a Business Minimalist as a multi-passionate creative business owner with a team of 20 people. I would argue that Apple is a minimalist business, and they earned almost $167 billion dollars last year. What matters most is the mindset and the intentionality in which you approach your business decisions.
That means you can become a Business Minimalist today! It's never to late to shift your strategy and find ways to do less but better in your business. I hope that this episode gives you a new perspective to consider.

27 min - Introducing the Year of Less Challenge
In December, as I was dreaming about ways that I could continue optimizing my systems and become more productive (while also passing along that knowledge to you), I had an idea. This is the Business MINIMALIST podcast, so as you know, I’m obsessed with finding ways that less can be better in business. So this year, instead of focusing on all the things I want to add to my plate, I started by asking myself what I could do LESS of, in order to free up space for the things that I want to focus on. This train of thought resulted in me introducing the Year of Less Challenge!
Tune into this week's episode to learn more about my Year of Less Challenge and how you can do less this year too.

44 min - How to Get Time Blocking to FINALLY Work for You
Today, we’re talking about one of my favorite subjects: how to get time blocking to FINALLY work for you. And I say, “finally” because I know there’s a lot of frustration with time blocking, especially for beginners, or women like you who have a million and one roles and responsibilities to fill.
However, you need to know that it’s totally normal if time blocking didn't work for you the first time you tried it. Finding a time blocking routine that works for you is supposed to be an iterative process, and it might take you a while to find your groove - that’s okay!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing:
- The science behind time blocking and how it can increase your productivity
- My simple 5-step process for creating a time blocking system that works for you and your business
- Common time blocking roadblocks you might have experienced and how to overcome them

About The Seasonal Edit
From the publisher's feed
The Seasonal Edit is a planning, productivity, and intentional living podcast for women who want to feel less overwhelmed by their lives—and more present for them.
Hosted by Jade Boyd, MBA, productivity expert and planner creator, The Seasonal Edit takes a practical, realistic approach to getting your life in order without turning it into one endless self-improvement project.
Because the goal isn't to squeeze more into your days. It's to get better at deciding what matters, create simple systems that make everyday life easier, and make room for the things you actually want to enjoy.
Each episode blends thoughtful perspective with practical, actionable strategies for planning, organization, routines, time management, productivity, goal setting, simple living, and managing a home and family. You'll learn how to organize your weeks, create routines that actually stick, simplify your home, manage the mental load, make progress on meaningful goals, and use your limited time and energy more intentionally.
And unlike productivity advice that assumes every week of your life should look the same, The Seasonal Edit is built around a different idea: your systems should change when your season does.
Your capacity changes. Your priorities change. Your family changes. Your energy changes. Even the literal seasons affect the rhythms of your home and life. Instead of forcing yourself into a rigid routine year-round, you'll learn how to regularly edit what's on your plate and build rhythms that support the life you're actually living right now.
This podcast is for you if you've ever wondered: How do I create routines that don't just look good on paper but actually work for real life? How do I stay organized when I'm managing a million little things that don't fit in tidy boxes? How can I make time for my goals, creative work, side hustle, or hobbies when my free time is limited? How do I simplify and declutter my home without making it another overwhelming project? How can I be productive without constantly feeling rushed or behind? What should I focus on first when everything feels important? How do I stop trying to do everything—and still make meaningful progress?
Whether you're resetting your weekly routine, organizing your home, planning your next season, trying to get dinner on the table with less stress, or figuring out what deserves your attention in a particularly full season of life, you'll leave these episodes with ideas you can actually use.
No impossible morning routines. No pressure to optimize every minute. No recycled list of “10 habits successful women do before 5 a.m.” Just thoughtful, practical strategies for doing less—but doing what matters better.
Because a well-planned life shouldn't just look productive on paper. It should feel good in your everyday life. Start with the season you're in now by downloading Jade's free Seasonal Living Guide at jadeboyd.co/season.
