Seasonal Shifts (like Harvest or Back-to-School) = Your Cue to Reset
|
Now's the Perfect Time for a WFH Systems Reset Hey Reader, Have you noticed how nature gives us built-in reset points? The first day of school. The first crisp morning of fall. The grape harvest that signals the start of crush season at a winery. These moments remind us that the season has shifted. Things need to change. Your work-from-home systems are no different. They, too, might need to change with the seasons and shouldn’t be “set it and forget it.” What worked last spring might feel clunky or misaligned now. And if you keep forcing it, you’ll end up exhausted, frustrated, and less productive. The important thing to remember here is that every seasonal shift is a natural cue to pause and realign your systems. That means checking your energy flow, your tools, your routines, your boundaries, even your calendar. When you treat seasonal transitions as a WFH systems reset, you stop running on outdated habits and start working with the season you’re actually in. Try This This WeekChoose one system in your business to check and refresh before next Friday. It could be any of the following:
Just one shift can make your workdays feel lighter and more in sync.

But here’s a truth that might surprise you: Confidence doesn’t show up before you make the decision. It grows because you make it. When you act — even if it’s a small action — you...
Bad Week? Don’t Let It Define You Reader, can we be honest for a moment? Some weeks just stink. You plan your time, set your goals, and then life throws curveballs: The dog pukes on the carpet. Your internet goes out. Your back goes out. A client cancels at the last-minute. By Friday, you feel like you’ve lost all your momentum — or worse, like you’re failing at this whole business thing. Here’s the truth: a bad week doesn’t erase your progress. Just like sourdough starter rises, falls, and...
Systems Are the Secret to Sustainable WFH Success Reader, if you’ve ever tended a garden, you know this truth: growth doesn’t come from a single big push.
