How I structure my days First, I wanna talk about how my days go and how I manage my time and energy. After so many years of working from home/remotely/living the laptop lifestyle/being location independent (or however else you’d call it), things look a little big different today than the early days. People are often curious how I structure my day, how I stay productive and motivated, and hell! – how I even stay sane and find the momentum to keep going.  The real answer is: there were never 3-6 months in my line of work that looked or felt the same. And I love that! Also, a quick reminder before I share the actual details: there’s no right or wrong, and what works for me probably won’t work for you.  At the end of the day, the work schedule, structure, number of hours you put in, how much you get done, what tools you use, etc. – all these are just outer factors and will change all the time. YOU are what keeps going and what moves your business forward, so do YOU! According to my human design, I’m made for a consistent environment. Coming back to the same place daily gives me structure and peace and allows me to perform well. And it makes sense that when life gets more exciting or when I’m traveling, work is the last thing on my mind. But at the same time, I digest the world passively (HD reference again). This means I crave flexibility in terms of working hours, projects, and how my days go. These things aren’t something I should plan, but instead I can follow my desires and still get a lot done. That’s how I do things now and I’m living in alignment. Back when I was freelancing and later when hustling to become a full-time blogger, I did the opposite. I created discipline by waking up early and working many hours on the business. Most of what I did was learning, experimenting and trying to figure our what the next step is.  Today, I know 95% of the activities I was investing my precious time and energy in weren’t taking me far, and that’s okay. That was the only way I could keep my mind on the vision, which then meant freedom in a few specific ways. Now, even if I work for an hour or two on a Monday, I am generating ideas the rest of the time, I am devoted to my business energetically, anything I learn (from courses, books, practices, self-mastery, etc.
