Managing an out of control calendar and finding time for your dreams is challenging.
Let's eliminate the stress.
Are you drowning in things to do?
Struggling just to keep up with the everyday?
Always putting your dreams & passions on the back burner?
Sometimes it feels like I work nonstop all day long only to end the day even further behind. My email inbox is overflowing. The dishes keep piling up. A huge deadline sneaks up on me at work. And before I know it, I’m laying in bed realizing I spent the whole day putting out fires and tomorrow will be even more hectic.
Sound familiar?
Life’s too short to drift from day to day. It’s time to banish that overwhelmed feeling and start living with purpose.
We tend to fall into the trap of going with the flow, constantly reacting to everything around us. We wake up in the morning feeling behind before the day even begins. If only we could make time to fit everything in and still have time leftover to chase after our dreams and focus on our passions. We desperately want to use our time intentionally, but where do we even begin?
Would you love to have a more organized schedule? I want to show you exactly how to take control of your time and design an intentional weekly routine.
Your life may feel overwhelming now, but that doesn’t mean it has to be. There’s another way.

"How do you do it all?"
From friends and family to blog readers, I get asked this question nearly every day. While I do manage to achieve quite a bit in the span of a week, I’m no superwoman. I’m just like you. I want to live a stress free, intentional life.
Getting organized and finding time for your passions and dreams is challenging. I’ve spent years deliberately fine tuning my routine and learning how to use my time wisely. I have a knack for developing systems, and my goal for this book is to give you an easy-to-follow, no fluff process to maximize your time.
I’ve poured my entire method into this book. Consider it an action guide as opposed to a standard book you read and put on the shelf. This book is not about fluff or theory. It is about taking action.
The goal? A weekly routine that cuts out the stress, makes time for all of your responsibilities and enables you to focus on your biggest goals and priorities.
Are you willing to put in a couple hours of work upfront to set yourself up with a stress-free weekly routine? Complete this process once and you will have an intentional routine you can follow week after week. Your routine will have flexibility built right in so you are prepared for the curveballs that will undoubtedly come your way. And when a big change happens in your life, it’s as simple as going back through the book and repeating the process to design a new routine that fits your new lifestyle.
I needed this book in my chaotic life! I loved all of the examples and quotes throughout. I have a couple of friends that I'm definitely buying copies for because I loved it so much!

Questions?
What's the difference between buying this book or taking your free five-day e-course?
The Crush Your Week ebook is a comprehensive system for designing a weekly routine. It includes 80 pages of actionable content and worksheets. The book goes much more in depth on each subject and includes steps of the process that aren't discussed in the free ecourse.
My free five-day ecourse is a crash course into organizing your weekly routine. It will give you a taste of my planning methods and is a short overview of some of the subjects included in the book. If you haven't taken the ecourse, you are welcome to sign up here. The course is a good starting point, while the book is much more thorough and advanced.
Do I need to print this book?
You do not need to print the entire book, but I do recommend at least printing the worksheets to fully benefit from the content. Crush Your Week is a PDF book that can be read on any digital device. You can print it on your home printer or at a print shop or office supply store. I personally prefer to print the entire book and put it in a pretty three-ring binder. You can also have it spiral bound at a print shop if you wish. Your purchase includes a print release to provide to your printer if needed.
Is this a physical book? Will it be shipped?
This is a 100% digital product, so there is nothing to ship. You will receive PDF files of the book and workbook to download immediately after purchasing.
What if I don't like the book?
If you want to get control of your schedule, I'm confident that Crush Your Week will help you do just that. But if you are not completely satisfied, you may request a refund within 30 days of purchase. Refund requests must include proof that you've completed the exercises and taken steps to implement your new routine.
What if I still have questions?
If you have questions that aren't addressed on this page, please email me at emily {at} smallstuffcounts.com and I will gladly answer them.
