I’ve never been someone who thrives with strict routines or schedules. Honestly, the idea of following the same structured plan every day drains my creativity and motivation.
So, I found a way to make things work for me.
As a productivity coach, people often assume I’m super ‘organised’ and live by a strict structure- ew. But honestly, if you really knew what it’s like…I’ve always struggled with routines. I’m someone who has a LOT of ideas, and when inspiration strikes, I like to drop everything and run with it. And a lot of the time I get lost in it all.
Structure doesn’t allow me the freedom to do that—it boxes me in.
Of course, I still have my to-do list, but I work it around my energy cycles. I prioritise things and make sure they get done, but I give myself the freedom to do it in a way that feels natural to me. That’s what works for me. I’ve built flexibility into my schedule so I can stay productive while keeping things exciting. Some days I start early, other days I need time for me before I dive in with work.
A question I ask myself a lot is: “What do I need today?”
Is it yoga, meditation, journaling, gym, dance or do I just need to work?
I even wrote about this in my book for people like me who prefer freedom over rigid routines—for those who want to be productive without feeling confined. (DM if you need a copy)
If you’re like me, know that you don’t need strict structure to succeed. You just need to find what works for you 💙
