Life-Organization & Planning Coach

Don't do things. Do your calendar.

When your calendar holds the plan, your mind doesn't have to.

Organize your time. Make room for what matters.

The difference

A technically efficient schedule is not always a humanly possible one.

Most planning advice organizes the work. It sorts tasks, stacks them into open slots, and hands the calendar back to you full. Then real life shows up, and the plan falls apart: the focus that runs out at two o'clock, the twenty minutes between buildings, the day after a bad night's sleep. Not because you lacked discipline, but because nobody planned for you.

I plan for the person doing the work. That means building your calendar around your actual energy and attention, the transitions between things, and the room you need to be a person, not just a to-do list with a pulse. It's practical, candid, and grounded in how brains and bodies really work.

More about me

Who I help

Different lives, same problem: the plan doesn't fit the person.

Coaching is one-to-one and built around your situation. Most of the people I work with fall into one of these three groups.

Professionals & business owners

You're responsible for the outcome, the follow-up, and everyone else's deadlines. I help you build a week that protects deep work, absorbs the interruptions you know are coming, and stops the evening from quietly becoming overflow storage for the day.

Deep work · Meeting load · Boundaries that hold

College & university students

Nobody teaches you how to plan a semester. They just hand you four syllabi and a job. I map the term backwards from the deadlines and build study blocks around how you actually like to study, using how long the work genuinely takes you rather than how long it's supposed to. Sleep, food, and a social life go on the calendar too.

People carrying complex lives

Parents, caregivers, and people living with ADHD or chronic illness are welcome here. Planning is ADHD-informed and energy-aware: I plan around variable capacity, hard days, and the reality that some weeks look nothing like the last one.

Coaching is not therapy, diagnosis, or medical care. It's practical planning support.

Beyond the scheduling tools

Tools help build a schedule. Human insight makes it livable.

I use calendars, planning apps, templates, reminders, AI, and other tools wherever they make the process easier. But an open time slot doesn't tell us what your energy, attention, health, responsibilities, or capacity will look like. Together, we use the tools while building the plan around the person who actually has to live it.
