What if staying aligned with your goals didn't require doing more—but doing less on purpose?In this solo episode, I walk you through exactly how I structure my days, weeks, and months so my time, energy, and money are all pulling in the same direction. I start with the nervous system piece—because if I'm wired for busyness, I'll sabotage white space—then share the practical scaffolding that keeps me focused on what truly moves the needle.You'll discover:<ul><li>The "crowd it out" method — Put the most important things in first, then let everything else fill around them</li><li>My non-negotiable guardrails — No Monday appointments, hard stop after 4 p.m., a real lunch, and no more than 2–3 Zooms per day</li><li>Energy-saving batching strategies — Like stacking podcast recordings to eliminate context switching and preserve mental bandwidth</li><li>The 80/20 rule in practice — Plus the 80/20 of that 20% for laser focus on what truly matters</li><li>Boundary mastery — Why my default answer is "no" unless a request clearly serves my priorities</li><li>Life-force energy as a success KPI — Tracking not just metrics, but how alive and energized you feel</li><li>Seasonal business rhythms — Using my "Upward Cycle of Success" (emergence, visibility, culmination, fertile void) to build in natural ebb and flow instead of constant grind</li><li>Annual planning that honors your whole life — Our family-first approach where personal "boulders" get calendar priority before business goals</li></ul>If you're ready to create results with more ease and integrity, this episode is your step-by-step blueprint.“There’s a difference between what we say we consciously want, and what our nervous system is wired for.” –Kate Northrup🎤 Let’s Dive into the Good Stuff on Plenty 🎤00:00 Introduction to Abundance and Prioritization01:04 The Importance of Time and Energy Management02:08 Dysregulation and Productivity03:23 Aligning Actions with Priorities05:30 Establishing Rules for Time Management07:26 Batching for Efficiency10:36 Limiting Meetings for Productivity13:32 Setting Boundaries and No Policies18:53 Annual Planning and Business Cycles23:01 Maintaining Relationships28:30 Planning Around Personal Life31:08 Conclusion and Call to ActionLinks and Resources:<a href="https://shop.katenorthrup.com/products/digital-do-less-planner?_ga=2.151186617.1669153842.1757449420-1133591865.1749656959">Digital Do Less Planner</a><a href="http://katenorthrup.com/reset">The Money Reset</a> <a href="https://katenorthrup.com/embodiedwealth/">Embodied Wealth Method</a><a href="https://amzn.to/48aFPJm">Boundary Boss</a> by Terri Cole🌿 Ready to create more by doing less?In my book, <a href="https://katenorthrup.com/book/">Do Less: A Revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management for Ambitious Women</a>, I guide you through the art of aligning your energy with what truly matters—so you can reach your goals without burning out.This isn't just another time management book.
