1. Assess your situation & define your life goals
Before we embark on any change, it’s vital to take a moment for self-reflection. Many of us wear multiple hats and sometimes we lose sight of our own needs and desires. Self-reflection sets the stage for meaningful change, helping us discover which aspects of our lives need adjustment to bring us greater happiness and contentment.

2. Free up time & minimize
The items and social responsibilities we have are connected to the time we need to spend to maintain them. Therefore we would suggest to
- reduce the items in your home so you don’t have to tidy up, organize and clean them
- make it a habit to throw away/donate at least 5 items per day
- stop impulse shopping
- avoid your phone/tv/social media & stop procrastinating
3. Create new routines and habits
It takes quite some time to prepare for change. But you can start today with implementing small and effective routines. The goal is to have your head and time free to focus on what is important. Here are some suggestions:
- If it takes 2 minutes or less -> do it now
- Do 1 thing today, that makes tomorrow easier
- Clean kitchen every evening
- Read 5-10 pages to learn something new
- Say “no” to things that don’t help you grow or bring you joy
4. Learn about finance
There is one type of knowledge every woman should have and this is financial literacy. Therefore being able to understand financial terms, knowing the investment options and being able to plan is the biggest step towards independence.
After gaining knowledge it is time to assess your personal financial situation and act accordingly in order to provide a stable environment for your life.
5. Reduce mental load
Modern life bombards us with information and responsibilities. Combat mental overload by taking time for yourself (meditation, journaling, collection of tasks) as well as delegating responsibilities to family members, partners or friends.
In addition, always remember that it’s okay to say no when you need to.
With this in mind, we recommend creating “Master Lists”. These are simple spreadsheets with tabs, which hold information about a certain topic. In fact, these living documents are super eaasy to handle because they live on the internet and are accessible from everywhere. These will change your life!
So you don’t have to do it all and right away. It is important to take action and move towards your goals one step at a time. You will see how your life changes, once you implement our tips in your life.
