Your alarm goes off at 6am. Immediately, your chest tightens with the usual mix of panic and dread at the thought of another jam-packed day ahead. You crack an eye open and — what the FUDGE!!?!? — a fairy godmother is standing at the foot of your bed. [You crack an eye open and — what the FUDGE!!?!? — a fairy godmother is standing at the foot of your bed.] “{NAME},” she says. “Today you’re completely free to do as you wish. All your responsibilities are handled. You don’t have to take care of anyone but yourself.” You rub your eyes and blink hard. No, you’re not dreaming. This is really happening. “Soooo,” she says. “What would you like to do today?” Your mind races and you reply, “Well, I… I… “I. DON’T. KNOW.” {NAME}, if the idea of taking an hour to yourself — much less a whole day — feels like an impossible fairy tale, I understand. If you’re not sure what you’d do with more time even if you HAD it, you’re not alone. Like millions of “good,” “responsible” humans, you probably spend so much time taking care of everyone else that you’ve lost touch with your own desires. In fact, thousands of folks who responded to our time and productivity survey can relate. Here’s what they said: “I struggle with setting limits. I'm at everyone's beck and call and that has become the norm.” “I don't know how to commit to the things I need to do for myself with the demands of work and family. By the time I take care of myself, I'm exhausted and useless.” “How can I rise up from the daily duties of being a mom and wife? How can I find strength, courage, and justification to honor my needs?” If you feel like you don’t even have time to dream because there’s always something or someone who needs your attention, I have a crucial exercise for you, {NAME}: 👉 Step 1: Take five minutes for yourself (YES, YOU CAN). Grab a journal or a fresh sheet of paper, and use this writing prompt: As a young child, what did you daydream about or love to do when you were by yourself during secret playtime — no matter how weird or silly it might seem now? What fascinated you? What enthralled you? What talents or abilities or interests might those early dreams point to? I promise... your dreams are in there (and they matter!). You have to dust them off, and this prompt will do the trick. Write down anything that comes to mind. Even if it doesn’t seem “important.” Let your subconscious work its magic ;) Then... 👉 Step 2: Save the dates for the Time Genius virtual experience, and grab your spot when tickets go on sale [September 12th](. The live program runs from [September 25 – October 5, 2023](. I promise: [Time Genius]( will help you REJECT the cultural conditioning that you have to “do it all” for everyone in your life — no matter how stressed, drained, and exhausted you feel. After just five short days together, you’ll be saying... - “My days are simple and peaceful. I can’t believe my life was so chaotic before — I’m never going back.” - “OMG... my energy and motivation are off the charts!” - “My loved ones are thrilled. I’m actually spending real time with them again.” Take it from your Fairy GodMarie — once you learn how to set boundaries, focus on what matters, and ignore what doesn’t — life gets pretty magical. That’s what being a Time Genius is all about! Until next time... [Until next time...] Magically yours, ✨ Marie P.S.
