Designing your ideal work schedule starts with imagining how you want to spend your time outside of work.

When I am entering a new season that requires a new schedule, I take the time to think about how I want my day to day to feel.

Then I can reverse engineer what my ideal work days look like, bringing together my desires and spaciousness of my ideal day with the work that has to get done.

This is where the rubber meets the road between your goals and your lifestyle.

I’m entering a new season of creating regular content and audience growth. My schedule reflects the priorities of the season I’m in, so I encourage you to think about how you can take these principles and apply them to the priorities of the season of business you’re in now too.

You may have seen my video from a few months ago when I was in a season of experimentation and no two days were alike. I did a full breakdown of my daily activities over the course of 90 days to show you exactly what types of things I do (and don’t do!). You can check that out here.​

My 2023 schedule was a little different, you’ll see how I’ve updated it to suit my 2024 plans.

Don’t Be a Perfectionist

Your ideal schedule isn’t meant to be followed perfectly. Don't go into it thinking you have to stick to this or any schedule to be successful (you don’t). It’s a loose guideline, a tool to help you get focused if you need a few bumpers on the bowling lane to get going.

Creating an ideal schedule shouldn’t stress you out or make you feel trapped, it should just give you confidence that you can reach your goals in the time you have.

During and leading up to certain events, your ideal schedule usually goes out the window! Leading up to a big launch or virtual conference, your schedule will be fuller and less standardized.

Sometimes, unexpected things come up and your whole day gets messed up. It happens!

But on a regular week, it’s nice to know you can do what you need to do in the time you’ve given yourself.

​Set Your Parameters

We’re reverse engineering your schedule from the parameters and “creative constraints” of your lifestyle.

In the same way that I tell my clients during annual planning (using my Map Your Model system, which is inside Monetize) to put their vacations and time off on their calendar first, and then add in the work events like launching and projects, we’re going to do that on a daily and weekly basis too.

You put your lifestyle “creative constraints” first, then fit work around it.
