Simple living is trending, and it's easy to see why. The idea of slowing down and living a simple life is dreamy. Pair that dream with the aesthetic homesteading, sourdough, and morning routine content on Instagram and we're all saying, "sign me up for that"! But if so many of us crave a slow and simple life, why aren't more of us making it happen?When you think of simplifying your life, you might imagine living off grid, wearing floral maxi dresses, or becoming a "trad wife." But simplicity doesn’t have to look like a Pinterest-worthy kitchen or making all your food from scratch. It’s about two key principles:Systemizing What’s Most Important: This means setting up systems for your personal health, relationships, home, and business so it doesn’t feel hard or complicated to show up for your daily life.Living at a Human Pace: It’s about enjoying your daily life in the season you’re in, not rushing through it constantly waiting for the “next season.”In this episode, I'm breaking down 4 must haves for simplifying your life, and how to make this hard, but worthwhile, lifestyle goal a reality. Press play for the challenge and encouragement you need to make small but mighty life shifts, slow down, and start living more simply.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/4-must-haves-to-simplify-your-lifeLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Ep. 056: My No Streaming September Productivity Challenge RecapSimplify Your Life Membership CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Doors to the Quarterly Reset are open!The Quarterly Reset is a 5-day strategy intensive for service providers who want to scale their business with a life-first approach one quarter at a time.

Are you even aware of all the ways that you're living your life by default? There's this thing called the "default effect" that shows us that we're more likely to choose options that are given to us as the default choices. And it makes sense, right?! Decision fatigue is real and we make around 35,000 decisions each day. Who can blame us for wanting to not think about a decision and go with the default option every now and then?But here's where default living becomes a problem... the decisions that are given to us as the default are not always aligned to the type of life or business that we want to build. And when we live too much of our lives by default, we start to feel the effects of living a bland life that doesn't light us up. In this episode, I'm sharing what it could look like for you to opt out of default living and live more intentionally, starting with three default decisions that I see many women opting into (and that are making them miserable). Press play to opt out, live differently, and gain the encouragement you need to make tough decisions that are more aligned to your ideal life.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/opting-out-of-default-livingLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Ep. 043: Simplify your Life with Categorical Decision MakingSimplify your Life MembershipThe Business Edit™ Coaching Program CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Doors to the Quarterly Reset are open!The Quarterly Reset is a 5-day strategy intensive for service providers who want to scale their business with a life-first approach one quarter at a time.

This week, I'm bringing you a special conversation with my friend Haley Thomas from the Passion Pursuit Podcast. You may remember Haley from episode 021, where she brought her expertise on building out a retreat offer to the podcast. Recently, I sat down with Haley to talk about ways that you can find clarity when you're spinning in indecision. If you find yourself overthinking things, spending too much time analyzing your choices, or just feeling stuck, this episode is for you. As a recovering perfectionist, and someone who loves data, I've learned the hard way that spinning in indecision is not productive. It's better to make the wrong decision quickly (and learn from it quickly) than to waste time trying to come up with the perfect solution. Press play to learn how to stop feeling stuck and start taking more courageous action in your business.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/how-to-find-clarity-when-youre-spinning-in-indecisionLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Episode 021: How to Plan an Aligned Retreat with Haley ThomasThe Passion Pursuit PodcastConnect with Haley on Instagram: @thepassionpursuitco CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Doors to the Quarterly Reset are open!The Quarterly Reset is a 5-day strategy intensive for service providers who want to scale their business with a life-first approach one quarter at a time.

What comes to mind when you think of a 'weekly planning routine'? Do you envision someone sitting down in a quiet space for an hour, thoughtfully detailing a minute by minute plan for their entire week? Don't get me wrong, I love a good extended planning session, but week to week, that's just not realistic for most women. And the good news is you can become a really effective planner, even if you only have 5 minutes in between meetings, naps, or errands.When you enter your week with a clear plan in place, you eliminate a lot of unnecessary stress, set yourself up to focus on what actually matters in your business, and put yourself back in the drivers seat of your life. In this episode, I'm going to walk you step-by-step through my weekly planning routine, and what it actually takes to be able to plan a productive week in 5 minutes or less!SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/plan-a-productive-week-in-5-minutes-or-lessLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Free Task Batching WorkbookFree CEO Day ChecklistOrganize your Business Course CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Doors to the Quarterly Reset are open!The Quarterly Reset is a 5-day strategy intensive for service providers who want to scale their business with a life-first approach one quarter at a time.

If you're struggling to make consistent progress on your business goals, you may be overdue for a CEO Day. A CEO Day is a monthly day set aside for you to reflect on what’s happening in your business and make intentional, strategic decisions about how to move forward. I almost think of this like a self-care practice for business owners, because when you're able to set aside time to plan out each month intentionally, you can enter each week knowing exactly what to focus on to grow your business. It makes pursuing big goals as a business owner more straightforward, less stressful, and more fun! Every business is different, which means every CEO Day will look different too. That's why I've created a free guide to help you design your own CEO Day checklist using the 3-step process I lay out in this episode. Click here to download the free CEO Day checklist guide and press play to learn how I implement this 3-step process in my own business each month.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/my-simple-ceo-day-checklistLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Build your Own CEO Day Checklist Free DownloadEp. 035: What I Do on CEO Days CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast ArchiveMentioned in this episode:Doors to the Quarterly Reset are open!The Quarterly Reset is a 5-day strategy intensive for service providers who want to scale their business with a life-first approach one quarter at a time.
