Feeling overwhelmed by your calendar? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving deep into how to stop letting your schedule run your life—and start using it to create freedom instead.
Whether you’re juggling a freelance writing business, a day job, travel, or parenting (or all of the above), the way you manage your time matters. That’s why we’re focusing on time-blocking—a simple but powerful system that helps you get more done while feeling less stressed.
Time-Blocking Tips for Freelance Nurse Writers
I’ll walk you through:
- How I use time-blocking to stay productive even during busy travel weeks
- My weekly “CEO Hour” ritual for strategic business planning
- The essential calendar blocks every freelance writer should have
- How to adjust your schedule during the chaos of summer and family life
- Why batching meetings and setting digital boundaries matter
You’ll also hear real-life examples of how I handle calendar chaos as a business owner, consultant, and mom—and how this method brings clarity and calm.
Time is your most valuable asset. Learn how to protect it, prioritize it, and use it to build a business that fits your life—not the other way around.
Tune in now and don’t forget to try your CEO Hour this week!
