I love 💕 when I get a chance to share my 5 Systems with a new audience! 🙌🏻
I was recently a guest on the Harmonious @ Lunch Podcast with Brandon Gano.

Time to update your Food 🍎 System!
Seasons 🍂 are changing and that often means that your systems might need a little 🤏 tweaking too.
The Food System is a big one if you have kids that are home 🏠 during the summer and now are headed 😳 back to school. Activities for fall are starting too so that might mean plan-ahead meals or having something that's easy for grab-and-go. 🏃♀️
Check 👀 out the Freezer Meals or Choosing the Kitchen Handout (part 1 and 2) for a ✨FREE✨ bit of inspiration. https://www.encouragerpodcast.com/resources
Share below 👇 the changes that you are making for this change in season!
Deadlines are important for kids too! 😉
If you are looking for ways to teach kids 👧👨🦱 about setting goals 🎯 and meeting deadlines, I recommend trying our Habits Tracker! 🙌
Download this ✨FREE✨ resource on my website: https://www.encouragerpodcast.com/resources
Print 🖨 this PDF and fill it out ✍️ with your child. Be sure to post it 📌 where they can see it daily and get into the routine of checking ✔️ the box so they can see their progress! 📈
What tasks are your kiddos working on as they head back to school?

No ❌ excuses!
Setting a deadline is such an important 👏 step 👏 in reaching your goal so it's important to keep these questions in mind:
✔️ How long it will take, realistically?
✔️ What steps are outside of your control and how can you plan for that?
✔️ Is there a 3rd party dictating when the deadline needs to be? (anyone else have a graduate 👨🎓🥹 this year?)
Once you set that deadline, you can reverse 🔄 engineer how you will achieve it.
You can do this!! 🙌 No excuses. 😏

Do you 'batch' your work? 😎
This has been a game-changer 🙌 in running multiple businesses and very helpful with home life too! 😉
So, what are some things 🤔 you currently create in a batch (like content creation 🎥) - or could you start blocking time out to do in batches?
Feeling overwhelmed? 😵💫 Ask for help!
"But, Bekah, I HATE asking for help!" 😫
No problem! 😊 Two simple tricks:
👉 Identify 🕵️ the task you need help with and then ⏱ time it!
Once you reflect 🤔 on what the specific task is and how long you expect it will take, then you can clearly 🤓 identify where to look for help. Do you need to hire an accountant 👩💼, someone to help with your social media 👩💻, or maybe it's a cleaning person or nanny 👩👦?
Write out ✍️ a job description, note how long ⏲ the task takes (and how much time it will save YOU) and you can confidently 😎 ask for assistance.
You got this! 🙌
Ready to do success YOUR 😎 way?
One of the books 📚 we're talking about this month in the Clarity Blueprint is "Secret Society of Success" by Tim Schurrer.
As I shared at our last coaching session, reading 🤓 that book helped me to see how success can be defined outside of money. 🤑
In the Clarity Blueprint community, we want to show you how to have 🤩 success at work 👩💼AND home. 🏠 We want to help you find solutions that fit YOUR life.
Join us! https://www.encouragerpodcast.com/clarity-blueprint

How is your Summer ☀️ Bucket List coming along?
Share below! ⬇️ I'll go first! 😉
What does "do it at 1%" mean? 🤷♀️
It's the smallest 🤏 step in the direction you want to go!
If you compound those 1% steps, you will be amazed 😏 at how quickly you can reach your goals. 🙌
What 1% step will YOU 🫵 take? Share some of your ideas in the comments!

Q: Why is 80% ok? Shouldn't we want to do 100%?? 🤨
Love this question! 👏
I'm not suggesting you don't give things your all...BUT...get it 80% of the way there and then sit with it a little. 🤔 Evaluate any changes you want to make. Allow yourself 20% space to change your mind 🙃🫣 or tweak the end goal.
Psst...this applies to home, too! 🏠
Doing a home improvement 🏚 project? Complete it to 80%, and then live in it for a little to see 🤓 if it works the way you were planning. THEN go and finish it to 100%! 🙌
It's just about giving yourself grace 😌 for the unexpected and allowing yourself to make changes because you don't know what you don't know! 😉
⬇️ Share in the comments: What could you do at 80% instead of pressuring yourself to go full 100% right now?
Here is a perfect 🙌 real-life example of how to change your mindset 🤓 when working on your goals!
When we meet 💻 2x a month for the Clarity Blueprint, we provide coaching AND a supportive 👏 community.
No matter how well-prepared you are, roadblocks 🚧 and snags are bound to appear along the way. But imagine 🤔 having a supportive 🤝 community that can relate to your experiences and help you overcome obstacles.
Share 🗣 your experiences, seek advice, and learn from others who have faced and conquered 💪 the same challenges.

It's not just about paper 🗂 management...
...or email 💻 management or staying organized for your 👩💼 work!
The "Touch it Once" principle can be applied to anything! 🙌
What are some of the ways you 🫵 incorporate this technique or could you add it to an area of your home that is really overwhelming to you?

I am proof 🤓 that the 'touch it once' principle doesn't mean you have to say good-bye 👋 to paper forever!
I love 🥰 a good hand-written ✍️ note!
However, I make sure I have a place to put that note 🗂 or the printout or the to-do list so that I don't have piles everywhere and I always know where to find it! 🙌

Let's STOP 🛑 the overwhelm when it comes to the paper in our lives!
School will be starting soon and you know all those class lists, papers to sign, 📑 and reminder letters (this includes emails!) will start to wreak havoc 🥴 on your life if you don't have a system in place! 😔
The "touch it once" principle that Tiffny tells us about on this week's 🎙 podcast episode is EXACTLY 👏 what we all need to start a new habit that will practically ❌ eliminate those chaotic 😵💫 feelings as we move into the fall.
I highly encourage you to think about Tiffny's Piles to Files system 🗂 as well simply because once you've taken the time to sort through the papers and determine what needs to be kept, it's important to have a home for it. 😊
