What I'm Working On Now

This is a 'Now' page. I love the idea of nownownow.com and so here it is!

💪 The personal habits I'm focusing on

After struggling with getting back on track with my personal habits, I decided to practice what I preach and create ridiculously tiny habits that are impossible for my brain to find excuses for. Reading one page a day? I can't use the "I'm too busy today" card for that! 😉

• Meditate for 10 mins right after waking up
• Read 1 page
• Play 1 song on the piano

👩‍💻 My business focus atm

• Dive in with my new client: I'm setting up new systems for my newest client's whole business: switching platforms for her email marketing in Squarespace, setting up her new membership in Circle, creating her CRM system in Honeybook, optimize her task manager in Motion, and so on. I love geeking out on this stuff and finding a simple system that works for her!
• Enjoy my Europe trip: From July to November, I'll finally take advantage of the perks of working online: I'll be traveling in Belgium, Spain, and Norway while I keep working for my clients! I haven't traveled for this long in years, and after getting separated from my ex-partner, I'm like: "Why not?? Let's GO!" European Summer, here I come!

🙈 What I'm still not doing

• Recording podcasts and journaling sessions ✍️ I'm not feeling the recording vibes lately, and that is A-okay. I got separated from my partner recently, and I accept that I need more downtime to process these life changes at the moment. Again, there are moments of inspiration to create new content, and there are moments to just enjoy the fruits of the work you've put in so far ;)

😱 I'd like to push myself to ...

• Play the piano while singing: Two weeks ago I used my piano for the very first time during a gig. I challenged myself to just add some basic chords to a couple of songs while singing. You gotta start somewhere! Now, I feel motivated to take things further and practice singing while playing the piano more often.

📚 What I'm reading right now

• The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris: I started reading this book a couple of months ago, then I took a break, and now I feel it's helping me more than ever. I needed some simple anxiety techniques as I'm navigating my recent breakup. For the first time in my life, I'm having a hard time being alone. This book teaches you wonderful techniques to let those 'negative' thoughts and emotions be without pushing them away. Highly recommend!
