Click here for your FREE How To Make Your 3 Day Plan Guide that I made! In This Episode: I talk about a simple framework for planning around your energy instead of against it: three kinds of days, super, standard, and survival, plus an SOS day for when you just can't. I walk through how to build all three plans in advance, and how a quick morning gut check tells you which plan to reach for.

Join Jen's New Co-Work Community online! I started something called ☕️The Co-Work Community. It's an online co-working (aka body doubling) space & community for neurodivergent humans! There are other online co-working spaces but where else can you do your work, tasks, or chores with other neurodivergent people and ME, every single day for ONLY $15 a month? Answer? Nowhere! You'll help yourself AND you're supporting a neurodivergent solopreneur woman-owned start-up business.
