Every Thursday, I share one action, habit, or project you may want to undertake in order to improve your health, happiness, and sense of well-being.

PROJECT OF THE WEEK
There are moments in life when we get a natural head start—when clarity and motivation strike unexpectedly. The real question is: Do we take advantage of them?
Imagine this: You just had a meeting with your boss about an upcoming presentation, and suddenly, everything clicks. You know exactly what needs to be done. Do you rearrange your schedule to immediately jot down those fresh ideas, giving yourself a strong foundation to build on?
Or maybe you’ve been struggling with a project, so you visit your professor during office hours. After the conversation, everything makes sense. Do you head straight to the library to work while your newfound understanding is still sharp?
Perhaps you woke up this morning feeling ready—finally motivated to tackle something you’ve been procrastinating on. Can you shift your day around to dive in before that energy fades?
Getting Started
We won’t always have these bursts of momentum. That’s why building strong habits and systems is essential. But when these natural sparks of motivation do come, they’re opportunities worth seizing.
Don’t let them slip away. Rearrange your schedule. Act while the inspiration is fresh. Because as we all know, momentum fades, and what once felt crystal clear can quickly become a distant blur.
Take action now—while the fire is still burning.

Meet Sarah
Growing up as the oldest of nine siblings in Upstate New York, I learned to use organization to create sanity among the chaos. Today, I work together with individuals, families, and small businesses to create habits, systems, and spaces that support their needs, goals, and dreams. Clients often refer to our work together as "life-changing" and "better than decades of therapy". What I love most about my work is the lasting impact it has on real people's lives. Nothing makes me happier than hearing the many success stories of clients I have worked with.
