Your System Should Let You Be Messy. Here's why.

Join Sacred Systems: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacred You do not need fewer ideas. You need a safe place to put them. In this episode, I share why I love using Notion for Sacred Systems: it lets me be a messy human with no negative consequences. I walk you through how my ideas go from my head into one database, how I tag them, and how I pick just two focuses each week. If you have ever called yourself a squirrel, this one is for you. In this episode: Why a system that requires you to not be messy is not a good system. How one Projects database holds 5,000 ideas without ever feeling overwhelming. The simple tags I use: Idea, This Week, and Later. How the masculine container and feminine flow work together in a healthy system. Why I only keep two focuses on my Daily Hub each week.

My habit tracker is a menu of things that make me feel good

Join the Sacred Systems waitlist: ⁠https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacred⁠ Habit tracking can be a love and hate relationship. I feel like I have figured out how to make it all love. In this episode, I open my Notion and read you my daily practice. It is not a list of rules. It is a menu of all the things that make me feel good and bring me back to myself. In this episode: Your habit tracker isn't there to make you super consistent. It shows you what a really good day looks like. When a habit slips, ask what would make it easier, not how to try harder. My full daily practice menu, from posture work and sardines to saffron tea and face yoga. Why I only check off what I naturally and organically do. How small breaks, like getting up to take my vitamins, reconnect me with my higher self.

Habit Tracking From Allowing, Not Forcing

Join the Sacred Systems waitlist: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacred Do you open your habit tracker and feel bad about all the empty boxes? In this episode, I share why I love my habit tracker and why I never aim for a perfect streak. I call it my daily practice, and I treat it as something sacred I do to honor myself. You will hear why forced check marks give you dirty data. And how honest tracking shows you exactly where you need more support. In this episode: Why I call my habit tracker a daily practice. Checking boxes with willpower creates dirty data. Your unchecked boxes matter just as much as the checked ones. The weekly review looks for patterns, not consistency. How to change your circumstances or beliefs so a habit gets easier.

A Very Simple Systems Tip for a Cluttered Mind

LINK: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacred In this episode I share a very simple systems tip. I keep one page titled Brain Dump where anything and everything that pops up in my head goes during the week, and then I let Claude help me put it all in the right place. This is for you if you want to stop holding it all in your psyche and set it down instead, without spending an hour putting every single thing away by yourself.

Be the Queen of your day, not the servant

Join the Sacred Systems waitlist: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacred Systems are not about getting more done. In this episode I share what I think is the whole point of systems. When you carry everything, your body becomes the system, and there is no room left to hear yourself. I talk about how putting it all down opens space to tune in to your body and make decisions from the present moment. In this episode: Why carrying everything in your head crowds out your intuition. The simple rule I teach in Sacred Systems: the database can handle it. How I look at my day like the queen giving orders, not the servant taking them. Why honoring your well-being makes you more productive than checking boxes.

How to Stop Pushing and Start Paying Attention

Links: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacred When I open that Notion task on the first of every month, it's not a productivity check-in — it's a reminder that I'm not the one driving. This episode is about the monthly ritual I've been doing for a year that changed how I relate to goals, plans, and the way life actually unfolds. Less forcing, more noticing. In this episode: • Why I built a dead-simple monthly check-in table in Notion — and what it's shown me that no amount of planning ever could • How I stopped being the person trying to make things go to plan and became someone who just watches how the plan unfolds • The real reason detachment from your goals isn't passive — it's what puts you in a position to actually receive what's happening for you • Why the breakdown almost always comes right before the breakthrough, and how seeing that laid out month by month changes everything

ADHD, novelty, and having one place that holds everything

Join Sacred Systems in this month of September and get a bonus 1-1 call with me: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacred In this episode I get into why the ADHD brain keeps hunting for the next new system, and how I stopped fighting that need and started designing around it instead. The key is pairing a single source of truth with a deliberate dose of novelty — and once I understood why both matter neurologically, everything stopped feeling like a character flaw. In this episode: • Why I stopped trying to use one tool that does *everything* and built a system that *connects* everything instead • How my Daily Hub in Notion gives me internal regulation — and why I no longer feel weird about needing that • The way I use Monarch Money as a 10-second daily practice to stay emotionally intimate with my money, without it cluttering my core system • How I bring novelty into my day without blowing up my system — by transferring that day's tasks into whatever physical or digital tool sounds good right now • What's included in Sacred Systems, plus the bonus one-on-one call I'm offering if you join before the end of September
