I have spent the past three years in business guided by my vision and the next aligned actions. In all that time I’ve never planned more than one or two weeks ahead.
Prior to that I would have annual planning retreats with my business bestie to break the year ahead into quarterly and monthly goals. I would relish the new year period for the onslaught of planners and ways to finally stay on track.

First it was because I could never “make” myself stick to them and then it was a FU to a society built around men who have a daily hormone cycle when, as a woman, I have a monthly hormone cycle.
Over the past month I’ve redefined and reestablished my relationship with commitment, committing to consistent action, daily action, weekly action. It’s not WHAT I’m doing that matters, it’s HOW I’m doing it.
