Description

Feeling like your to-do list runs your day? In this episode, we kick off a three-part series on building a CEO schedule that prioritizes your time, sanity, and the success of your business—without burning you out in the process.

Part 1 of the series dives into the concept of theme days—a strategy that lets you group tasks by their type rather than time-blocking your schedule into rigid hours. Whether you're a solopreneur or a corporate employee, this method can help you take back control of your day without feeling overwhelmed by a packed calendar.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why theme days are the key to creating a schedule that supports your brain and energy.

  • How I personally structure my week to maximize productivity while maintaining mental clarity.

  • Why traditional time-blocking just doesn’t work for a CEO’s mindset—and what to do instead.

  • Actionable steps to audit your to-do list and create a custom CEO schedule that aligns with your life.

Stay tuned for the next two episodes, where we'll dive deeper into using systems (like Notion) to support your schedule and how to know exactly what to work on every single day. This is about creating a flow that gives you time freedom, mental clarity, and sustainable success.
