You manage to get things done, but with a mad-dash, last-minute scramble behind the scenes.
You feel guilty when you’re working because you aren’t with your family.
And guilty when you’re with your family because work is still on your mind.
You haven’t crossed anything off your bucket list in years.
Somehow, there’s just never enough time.
Banish overwhelm
Take control of your time
Stop letting the day happen to you
Start spending your time intentionally
Feel less stressed
Enjoy your workday more
Feel present and relaxed each evening
Finally get organized
“If you are considering working with Alexis, you should definitely do it. She helped me up-level my time management skills and adjust to a new job, and I truly enjoyed spending the time to do it. Her help was particularly invaluable transitioning into the COVID-19 work from home routine. Our sessions helped me identify ways to smartly adjust my routines to better manage distance learning and rejigger my schedule. All sessions were customized to my needs and Alexis really goes out of her way to follow up and ensure that you are getting the promised value. Highly recommended!”
Begin by scheduling a free consultation call (25 minutes).
We’ll have a conversation to decide if working together is a good fit for both of us.
We’ll schedule your first session and get to work streamlining the way you work!
Over 4 months, you’ll build skills and habits to help you take control of your time.
The goal of this coaching program is for you to experience transformation (yes, seriously!) in your life and work regarding your ability to accomplish what you want, and experience less stress. You’ll learn strategies and techniques, and integrate tools and solutions, tailored to YOUR specific life.
We’ll work with your brain, your circumstances, your constraints, and your situation.
At the end of the program, you’ll have built a completely customized system for accomplishing your tasks, projects, and larger goals, while reducing stress AND you will have learned the underlying skills necessary to tweak your system when circumstances inevitably change. (Because they will.)
4 months of structured coaching with sessions every other week
Between-session exercises designed to allow you to integrate, and iterate on, the strategies, techniques, and hacks learned during each session
Unlimited email support
A content platform with perpetual access to dozens of videos, best practice docs, templates, reference guides, and exercises to help you implement lasting habit change
The opportunity to improve your life for the better, by increasing productivity and decreasing stress
“Alexis has been an invaluable resource for me. As an entrepreneur who has many different passions, career goals, and interests, it has always been a challenge to decide what was most important. In a normal day, I will have five or more high-importance items that need to get done and endless decisions to make. From the start, Alexis had me evaluate what was and was not working in my day-to-day life and then creating an actionable plan. I started a new venture I had been dreaming about for the past 7 years and have never been happier. If you are at a point where you have had enough and are overwhelmed, Alexis can help. Thank you for helping me find true balance in my life.”
“Alexis completely revamped how I approach efficient time-management and prioritization. Her program, which was tailored to my specific needs and existing habits, significantly helped me take active control of all the hectic-ness that comes my way. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone who wants to improve their productivity in a way that works for you.”

Bonus Content
In addition to the time-management and productivity topics outlined above, woven through the program is a focus around expectation management, communication, and managing up, down, and sideways.
This program is for you if you:
Feel unorganized, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin
Find yourself repeating, "there's just never enough time!"
Are having trouble creating the right balance in your life
Feel overwhelmed by your to-do list and your responsibilities, OR
Are a manager struggling to handle your own work and be an effective leader at the same time
This program is NOT for you if:
You have a rote job without much self-direction during the day or if you’re already feeling on top of it all and approach life with a zen-like demeanor.
You’re expecting a magic wand. (You’ll get out of the program what you put into it. Just like the rest of life.)
I hear ya! You've read "Getting Things Done" (and "Atomic Habits" and "Deep Work"). You've downloaded, and abandoned, Trello (and Todoist and Asana). You're still stressed. You're still overwhelmed. That graveyard of abandoned task apps didn't change a thing!
Here's why this is different:
Common sense isn’t necessarily common practice. It's different to know something than to do it.
There are 4 primary reasons this program is different from trying to go it alone:
Individualization. Those books you read and apps you downloaded? They were written for the people who wrote them. But your brain is different. In this program, you'll learn about yourself, so that you can build strategies that work for who you are already, instead of trying to fit yourself in a pre-existing box.
Guidance. Doing things alone is hard. In this program, you'll have a dedicated coach (me!) to bounce ideas off, troubleshoot, and share what's working, and what's not. And we’ll celebrate your wins together.
Accountability. When you try to make changes in a vacuum, without anyone holding you accountable, it can be slow going. I'll be checking in on you and providing support the whole way through. So you won't have the opportunity to fall through the cracks or let lasting change slip away.
Habit Building Focus. In this program, we focus on how to build sustainable habits. Books are about insight and knowledge, which is important, for sure. But the rubber meets the road when we experiment, iterate, and practice.
Schedule a free consultation. We’ll jump on a Zoom, I’ll answer all your questions and we’ll decide if it’s a good fit.
If so, I’ll send you a short agreement to sign, an invoice, and a link to schedule your first session. And then we’re off to the races!
We’ll work together on a mutually agreeable schedule for our sessions. However, they will occur during the hours of 9am to 2pm Pacific Time, weekdays.
That’s no problem. If you find that you’d rather spread out the sessions with more than 2 weeks in between, we can do that. This program will be tailored to you and your needs.
I've done the research so you don't have to. There are hundreds of productivity books, strategies, tools, apps, tips, etc., out there and I've been immersed in it long enough to have culled the best. I am obsessed with productivity and efficiency, both at work, and at home. For many years, before opening my coaching practice, I ran Operations and HR in fast-paced start-ups, while raising two kids. For me it’s not just theory, it’s practice and experience. I know that not everyone's mind works the same way, and that we need to work with who you are to find strategies that work for you and your specific situation.
Let me be your guide to a life that feels more strategic and intentional, so you don’t end up on your deathbed saying “where did the time go?”.
Can I answer a question with a question? (Just did! 😊) What have you got to lose by scheduling a free consultation call?
You’re here on this page for a reason, so are you gonna stay stuck, or are you gonna take the first step towards feeling less overwhelmed and more in control?
But you don’t have to to listen to me. Instead, listen to my client Margaret:
“If you are considering working with Alexis, you should definitely do it. Working with her helped me up level my time management skills and adjust to a new job, and I truly enjoyed spending the time to do it.

The investment for the 1:1 coaching program is $7,500, all inclusive. We’ll have sessions every other week for 4 months, you’ll have unlimited email access to me between sessions for support, guidance, troubleshooting, etc. and you’ll get perpetual access to the content platform, full of videos, best practices documents, templates and other resources that you can come back to again and again.
