- I feel the key to success and being well balanced
and fighting stress, is to make a plan,
but also be flexible enough.
Because things don't always go to plan.

Back up to the night.
The night before, as I'm literally scripting my day
of what is going to happen in the day.
I have four kids, I run a company.
There's a lot going on.
And I script it out.
I literally open my LifePlanner
or my daily petit planner, and I script out my day.
I'm a color coder.
So I do all of my work meetings
are in a bright magenta pen.
Shocking. (laughs)
I like to use orange for personal appointments.
Which are my nails and doctor appointments
and other personal things.
And then I have four kids
and each one is in their own color.
(bouncy bass music)
People just get intimidated.
How do you jump in?
How do you get organized?
And especially with 2020 coming, I like to say,
take 20 in 20.
I literally 20 minutes on a Sunday morning.
It's my own little space, and I set everything out.
You know, I have my life planner that I take with me.
But I need to organize my family.
And they, if I here one more time
"What to we have going on tonight?"
It's like, check the calendar.
If it's not on there, it's not happening.
20 in 20 could be 20 minutes a day.
I think it could be 20 minutes on a Sunday,
but everybody has a different priority.
Don't get so overwhelmed and think,
I don't even where to begin or this seems difficult.
I think it's just important to take that 20 minutes
and prioritize it each day.
(bouncy bass music)
I have a gratitude journal it's near my bed at night.
That I can just pull out, even if it's just a few minutes.
It's prompted, I can write down a few things
that just make me realize, gosh I've got a healthy family,
a roof over my head,
and I find joy in that.
In just even the toughest days that to just write it down
and think about how grateful I am.
Is that joy I really need each day.
