Your Weekly Rhythm

 My favorite day of the week? Tuesdays. Tuesdays are sacred.

Nothing - and I mean NOTHING - gets scheduled on Tuesdays in my business.

Not coaching calls. Not coffee connects. Not even a "quick 15-minute chat." No emails, no social apps.

Why? Because that one day of completely protected creative time has become the anchor of my entire week. And it's completely transformed how I show up in my business.

For years, I tried to follow the productivity advice I saw everywhere:

• Time block your days
• Work 8-hour days, 5 days a week
• Be consistent daily
• Show up at the same time every day

And for years, I felt like I was failing...every day.

But I've come to discover, this rigid structure wasn't designed for neurodivergent brains.

The 25-Minute Truth

Did you know that even a ping from your phone sitting on your desk can take up to 25 minutes to recover focus from?

That's why people sit in offices for 40 hours and get so little done. Constant interruptions. Always available for someone else's question. Never actually in flow.

But when you have your own income stream? You can structure your time completely differently.

My Actual Weekly Rhythm

Monday - Secret Sunday The house is quiet. I sleep in. I catch up on admin, emails, and prep for Tuesday. I call it my "secret Sunday" because it has that relaxed, no-pressure energy.

Tuesday - Creative Day This is MY day. I create my weekly video, edit, post, write descriptions - whatever needs deep focus. Course content, exploring ideas. Could be 2 hours. Could be 7. Doesn't matter. What matters is uninterrupted flow.

Wednesday/Thursday - Interactive Days This is when I do group coaching, coffee connects, networking. Human interaction days. These are busier, more energizing in a different way.

Friday - Money Love & Buffer I track spending and income (my "money love" practice), handle admin overflow, and often I'm done by noon. My accountability group meets Friday mornings, then the weekend starts early.

The Permission You've Been Waiting For

You never have to work 40 hours again.

You never have to work 5 days a week.

When you have your own income stream, 10-20 focused hours can be incredibly productive. Sometimes 30 if you're in a launch or big project. But as a rhythm, season by season, 20 hours of truly productive work is actually excellent.

This isn't lazy. This is strategic.

This is working WITH your nervous system instead of constantly fighting it.

(AND, another fun way to dismantle the patriarchy that wants to keep us chained to work and far away from creativity and joy.)

Energy-Based Action

I've also discovered something surprising: Some of my best work happens from 8-10 PM.

I'll stall out completely in the afternoon (2-4 PM is my walk-the-dog, do-housework, nap time). But after dinner, after moving my body, after processing thoughts while doing something physical? That's when the ideas flow.

Maybe your magic time is 5-7 AM before anyone else is awake.

Maybe it's Sunday mornings.

Maybe it's scattered throughout the week in 90-minute bursts.

The key is honoring YOUR energy rather than trying to fit someone else's template.

Why Weekly Rhythms Work Better

Instead of daily time blocks that make you feel like you're failing when your energy doesn't match the schedule, try thinking in weekly rhythms.

What's your weekly anchor task? For me, it's creating one YouTube video. Everything else flows from there.

This gives you:

• Flexibility for energy fluctuations day to day
• Structure so you're not overwhelmed by infinite possibility
• Consistency over time (which matters more than daily consistency)
• Permission to honor your nervous system

The Structure You Actually Need

Our brains need constraints - just like AI needs constraints or it becomes the Mad Hatter's tea party.

But those constraints don't have to be "8 hours, Monday-Friday, same time every day."

They can be:

• One anchor task per week
• Specific days for specific types of work
• Flexibility to move things when energy shifts
• Permission to be done when you're done

This is what we work on in The Aligned Income Collective:

Creating the structure, the guardrails, the essential actions that actually work for YOUR nervous system and YOUR life.

Because there are a million things you "should" be doing. But there are really just a few core things that, done consistently over time, create an autonomous income stream.

And those few things don't require 40 hours a week.

Legacy pricing ends December 31st. After that, the investment goes up as I transition to the next phase of this work.

If you're ready to build income that works WITH your nervous system, not against it, I'd love to have you join us. What's your ideal work schedule? Leave a comment, I'd love to know.
