Light lift projects can have a big impact
In this intense end of school year month (see last week’s post for acknowledgement and validation of your power parenting efforts), I find myself with less than my normal energy.
To put it simply…I’m damn tired.
So when I was working with my Online Business Manager to plan for the next few months – I noticed I kept saying the same phrase to describe projects that got the green light...
"Yes, I like it. It sounds like a light lift.”
This isn’t my season to shoulder heavy tasks that require deep thinking, focus and intensity.
As I learned from last summer, it’s a season for me to take extra time for myself and connect with people I love. To see theater and take in all of the arts New York City has to offer. It’s a time for me to receive inspiration and to refuel.
It’s my time to rest. Contrary to what our hustley, productivity-obsessed culture will have you believe, rest is an essential part of how I find meaning, creativity, flow and financial success in my business.
The beauty in the handful of light lift projects I’m working on is that they will make a BIG impact for the people in my community.
Some on the list are:
Opening up my monthly Office Hours sessions to everyone for free - even for those who haven’t yet worked with me. (Learn more about that here!)
Creating a Self Study version of my Career Command Framework - currently in soft launch if you want to check it out.
Building in more ways for my current and former clients to connect with each other.
This insight comes as a reminder that work doesn’t have to be hard or a struggle to be meaningful or important.
Rest is radical and it’s something I want to model for my kids.
So, while June will be intense until the very last day of the month, I know relief and recharge are coming.
I’m excited to share more about my “light lift, big impact” projects as they are ready and I encourage you to think about what yours will be.
What can you do that feels easy, energizing AND ALSO important?
