Create your ideal work week with theme days with Cara Chace

Ready to stop reacting to the things that pop up, and start working on the things that will move your business forward? Whether you’re going from one client to-do list to another, cramming in tasks between meetings, wondering where you’ll fit in your own content and marketing work for your business, or trying to balance work and home life and feeling like your family’s schedule is always throwing a wrench in your plans, the juggle is real and we’re burning out as a result. Your mental load is too heavy to handle, you don’t have time to get everything done, and it’s stunting your business growth. That hamster wheel feeling like you’re running and running but you never get anywhere? You are not alone in feeling like that. And when you love what you do and you love your family, then you get guilt on top of it, like “What’s wrong with me that I can’t make this work? I’m GOOD at this stuff!” This episode is for you, if that’s how you’re feeling right now. There is an easier way, and my guest today is going to show you how to do it. Cara Chace is a productivity and business mentor and the creator of the Theme Day planning method and it’s a game changer for your business. She lives her passion: showing women how to navigate life priorities while building a business they love and helps them map out their ideal work week and get laser-focused on their priorities so they can pull themselves away of overwhelm. Cara has been balancing her aversion to rules and bosses with the need for structure since 2013, when she had her first child and took on the role of social media manager for the band Megadeth and their 13 million online fans. After realising being a work-from-home entrepreneur was the best fit for her life, she built a digital marketing agency from scratch, had another kid, navigated constantly shifting priorities, moving houses, and life demands...and made it her mission to Work Better Live Well, with systems, workflows, and boundaries as an entrepreneur to help her get the right things done while still living life the way she wants to. If you’re looking to create a simple, easy structure to plan and grow your business, with time for rest and actual weekends off, Cara is the person you go to. She introduced me to the concept of “No meeting days” a little while ago and it immediately I felt like the pressure was lifted! Such a simple concept, such a great result from actioning it, and I’m really excited for her to share it with you today. Listen in as we talk about why we tend to cram it all in and bounce from one thing to another as business owners and entrepreneurs, how "no meeting" days help smooth out your working week, and setting boundaries without stress!
