You probably know me as the unhinged productivity + organization girl.

But I have a confession to make…

One that made me feel like a failure,

And the real reason why I stopped posting for almost 2 weeks.

I was stuck

I had fallen behind a bit on my tracking.

Missed my weekly reflection for 2 weeks.

Life got busy - I was traveling.

But I also felt so scattered.

I didn’t know the next steps for my business.

I talked to myself like I was my own #1 hater:

“You’re teaching people to be productive, but you can’t even be productive yourself. You’re such a hypocrite.”

But this is what I did next…

(That made me excited to post 11 times in 1 day!)

The 1 week system

1. I reframed my thinking: “falling behind is normal - I teach that in my course. What’s important is getting back to it and staying consistent long-term.”

2. I braindumped everything on my mind (all the projects I wanted to do that I felt overwhelmed by)

3. I ran it through my prioritization matrix to decide which projects to do first that aligned with my goals

4. I put the top 3 projects in my quarterly planning table

5. I put 1 project in my monthly planning table

6. I broke down the 1 project into weekly milestones

7. I planned daily habits to achieve weekly milestones

And this planning can be as simple as point-form text on a Google Doc.

When you reverse-engineer your goals like this

(yearly → quarterly → monthly → weekly → daily),

things feel so much more manageable.

When I woke up the next day, I was excited to work.

Because I finally had clarity.

Try it yourself and let me know how it feels.

Til next Monday,

Jennifer
