The one habit that has helped me the most is my executive functioning is pretty good. Like I'm just naturally like the eldest daughter. I'm just very organized in terms of business and so planning my week and being able to have time where I'm deciding what I'm going to be focusing on this week that is different from my implementation time where I'm actually executing on what needs to be done. Because what my problem was is I have limited childcare. A lot of moms do. Right. And so if I have a three hour block and I'm spending the first hour figuring out what I'm doing and what moves the needle, I'm wasting so much cognitive space and a lot of time. So normally by Sunday night I have the whole week planned out in terms of like what are the needle movers that's going to bring in the most revenue, that's going to bring in sales that's going to make the biggest difference.
