I have loved organizing and planning since my early career as a busy classroom teacher and mentor. When I transitioned to non-profit leadership and launched my creative side-hustle business, many of the strategies I used as a teacher were not giving me the results I was looking for. 

 

I had more responsibility, larger teams, and a different pace of work to navigate all while I was learning more about how to express my creativity and skill through my side business.

Through mentorship programs, hiring coaches, and plenty of study, I learned the importance of clarifying my identity and vision, and how to identify what triggers me to procrastinate.

​

I began to change the way I structured my day, reflected on my goals, and how I managed my creative ideas and daily tasks. Through much trial and error, I began to get more done, in the same amount of time without losing myself in the process.

 

I introduced these strategies to clients and in my online community Viz Think Lab. The results... mindset shifts that led to producing more in alignment with purpose. How? Through deeper self-reflection, and recognition that productivity is more than task lists, time-blocking, and tracking your work.
 

In this challenge, I'm busting myths that hold us back and sharing strategies that you can use to better understand yourself and create your own personalized plan to produce with focus and purpose.
