Maybe Time Isn't the Problem: Becoming Distraction-Proof Artwork

Small Business Casual: Content Marketing, Productivity, Customer Experience for Entrepreneurs & Creators

Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing a sustainable, cozy, and thriving business tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!

Here, small business meets your favorite pair of slippers. It's a little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.

From customer service, business productivity, and content marketing to making sense-of-the-behind the scenes, chaos, I walk alongside you as we make life and business less of a roller coaster ride and more like a walk in the park (with snacks, of course!).

I offer Small Business Copywriting & Content Marketing Consulting to interior designers, home trade professionals, service providers, coaches, consultants, non-profits, and entrepreneurs with a big mission!

You don’t need more time or more motivation. You don't need more inspiration, another planner, course, shiny object, or time management method… what you likely need is more attention.

And LESS distractions and clutter.

Today we’re going to bring a fresh spin as we get into attention management, reducing distractions, and freeing yourself of mental clutter! My goal is that this episode will help you reduce and eliminate and feel less frazzled, distracted, and ahhhh more focused.

What if time isn't the problem?
The nature and stats of distraction (it's not your fault!)
How to choose where your attention goes based on seasons, balance, and what you need in your business
4 Ways to distract-proof yourself
And more!
