It's 6:47 a.m. You haven't had coffee, you haven't checked a single thing off, and your brain has already filed its report: You're behind. You dropped the ball on that email. Everyone could tell you were faking it in the meeting yesterday. This is just who you are now.

Here's the thing nobody tells you about that 6:47 a.m. report: it's a first draft, not a fact. And first drafts, as any writer will tell you, are almost always overdramatic, under-researched, and badly in need of an editor.

You believe you're a decisive woman. You make decisions and calls all day: which fire to put out first, what to feed everyone, whether to speak up in the meeting. But here's the uncomfortable truth: a lot of what we call deciding is actually deferring. And the two cost you very differently.

We tend to treat writing things down as a nice little habit. Optional. Something the organized women do. But a growing body of neuroscience says it's doing real work inside your head. Here's what's actually happening when you write.

Welcome to The Weekday Woman, we’re so glad you’re here. Come in, get comfortable, get to know us better.

This is a peek into our ecosystem here. We provide monthly and quarterly and annually goodies to our amazing Clock In Crew! You don’t want to miss out on this.

The double shift is real! You’re working your paid job and doing the unpaid work at home. You love your family and may even love your job but you still feel the overwhelm and need support and resources. That’s where we come in.

For most of us, January is a month of recovery, rather than the moment we to launch into a new set of goals. Our theory, is that for most weekday women, January comes in while we’re still recovering from the holidays and most resolutions fade by the end of February into March. But April seems to add a little “spring” in our step and becomes a season of real shifting.
