Schedule Like A Woman

2. Write all of the big things you want to accomplish in the month outside your calendar. You can see my list to the right. I used different colors for different things. Errands are in one color, self care is another, and business to-dos are yet another color. You may have more categories, or different ones, but Self Care is non-negotiable!

3. Next move those actions over to your calendar according to your menstrual cycle. First schedule your self care items. Spread them out, for instance I’ll be scheduling a hike during my Follicular phase when as women our energy is up, then I’ll schedule a spa day during the end of my Luteal Phase which is right before your period and often referred to as PMS or Hell Week. I schedule interview and public speaking gigs as close to Ovulation as possible. Why? Our verbal skills peak during this time.
     ~During your Period don’t schedule things like errands or events, schedule indoor solitary activities, there’s nothing wrong with scheduling movie night, book night, catch up on magazines, night during this time. But the best thing you can schedule during the first few days of your period is dreaming time. Seriously, you will set yourself up for the most successful, joyful, life if you do this every month. If you’ve got networking events, or parties during your Follicular Phase or Ovulation RSVP yes and schedule them!

4. Each month take a look at the previous month. What worked? What felt good? What didn’t work? What could you shift to make your life even easier?

You MUST pick a calendar that calls to you, use colors that you love, and splurge here. This is something that you must WANT to look at everyday, that brings you joy to interact with. Don’t skimp or say good enough. This dry erase calendar I bought is HUGE! Why? Because this year I want to teach you all how to use your Period Power and I want to be inspired everyday to reach my goal. What is your inspiration? How do you want to change your life and the world? GO BIG!
