Why I Stop Working at 3pm


Listen Later

Episode Summary:

Yeah, I hear it. Me wrapping up work most days by 3pm might sound a little braggy.

Maybe it is. A little.

But I'm telling you about why I'm able to do this because how I got here has everything to do with where YOUR best energy needs to be going too — and I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't explain.

I just know that if you're the one doing everything, all day, your best brain hours are going to tasks that don't actually need your particular voice, taste, or expertise. And eventually, your best self isn't showing up anywhere — not in your emails, not in your content, maybe not even in your life outside of work hours. 😬

In this episode, I'm telling you how I got to shortened work days, including:

  • What had to change about who did what work in my business (aka, it couldn't all be ME forever)
  • The lessons I had to learn the hard way about training and trusting a new hire (including one night on my bathroom floor)
  • My realization of my own limitations — even as an extrovert — and my need for rest and support
  • How prioritizing certain parts of my work allow me to work less (though just as hard)
  • What actually changes about your emails — and your creativity — when you protect the parts of your work that are purely yours
  • Why all of this matters for creators and service providers who want to be in business for a very long time
