🌿 Start your month like a swamp witch (trust me)
I used to start every month the same way I started every Monday.
With a chaotic list, an even more chaotic energy, and a vague hope that this would finally be the month I Got It All Together™️.
You know what I do now instead?
🪄 I treat the first of the month like a ritual.
I light a candle.
I pour a little coffee.
I let my Notion dashboard greet me like an old friend.
And I make a mess. A good one.
Because planning is not about perfection.It’s about attention.
Here’s something simple I do every month:
I write down three things I want to make space for this month; not projects or not productivity goals, but priorities.
✨ A feeling I want to prioritize.
🌱 A rhythm I want to nurture.
🔥 A project I want to gently move forward.
And then I block off time for those things before the rest of my calendar fills up.It’s wild how much that one little ritual can change your energy.
So here’s your permission slip: You don’t have to do it like the productivity bros. You can do it like a swamp witch. With roots and rhythms and rest.
You can start your month from the mossy ground up.
You don’t have to be ready. You DO have to be honest.
Talk soon,
Em
