Hey {{first_name}}
How did you feel after last week?
I’ve had so many messages from you saying how eye-opening the Stop / Start exercise was, especially the identity shift. So thank you for sharing that with me. It really does feel like we’re doing this together, which is exactly how I hoped it would feel.
And now we move into Week 2 of The Bold Move Challenge.
This is the part that quietly determines whether all those good intentions turn into real change.
Week 2: Time & Energy
Something I’ve noticed over the years, in my own life and in the women I work with, is that clarity alone isn’t enough.
We can know what we want.
We can feel motivated.
We can even feel excited.
But if we don’t get intentional about when things happen, they slowly slip to the edges of our lives.
That’s why I say this often, because it’s been true for me again and again:
What doesn’t get scheduled, doesn’t get done.
Your diary tells the story of your priorities, whether you mean it to or not.
The 3 balls you’re juggling (and why you feel drained)
I shared a concept in The Bold Move and in this week’s episode that I want you to see in your mind, because it changes how you make decisions.
1) Bouncy balls
These are the things we treat like emergencies… but if you drop them, they bounce back.
The washing.
The email.
The WhatsApp group.
The admin that never ends.
They’ll still be there tomorrow. And next week. And next month.
But we give them our best time and energy like they’re life or death.
2) Concrete balls
These are the ones that weigh you down.
Sometimes it’s an obligation.
Sometimes it’s a commitment you’ve outgrown.
Sometimes… it’s a person or dynamic that leaves you feeling heavy.
If you let go of these, you don’t feel guilty, you feel lighter.
3) Glass balls
These are the ones that matter.
Your health.
Your relationships.
Your learning.
Your confidence.
Your career growth.
Your time to think.
If you keep dropping these, they don’t bounce back.
They crack. And crack. And eventually something gives.
And this is what I realised in my own life:
If I start my day with bouncy balls (emails, messages, noise)…
and spend time in concrete balls (heavy, draining obligations)…
by the time I get to my glass balls, I have nothing left.
No time.
No energy.
No capacity.
So this is what we’re flipping.
Your Week 2 challenge
Go back to your Start Doing list from Week 1.
Now open your calendar and ask yourself:
Where are these actually scheduled?
What’s protected time, not “if I get to it” time?
What could be dropped, delayed, or outsourced to make space?
This isn’t about adding more.
Sometimes it’s:
using your commute to read or listen instead of scroll
blocking time for movement without overhauling your routine
scheduling something once so it stops living in your head
Even small shifts matter when they’re consistent.
And I want to say this clearly, because so many women need to hear it:
You are not selfish for prioritising yourself.
You are not ungrateful for wanting more.
You can appreciate what you have and still want to grow.
Want the full context?
I recorded Part 2 of The Bold Move Challenge to walk you through this properly, including how I think about time, energy, and protecting what matters.

I’d love to hear from you
What’s one glass ball you’re committing to this week, and when are you scheduling it?
Reply to this email or message me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok and tell me.
Next week, we’ll move into confidence, and how to stop seeing yourself as just a job title and start seeing yourself as a set of skills.
But for now, take a look at your calendar.
That’s where change actually begins.
With confidence,
Georgie 💜
P.S. If you have a copy of The Bold Move, this week will make even more sense, but you don’t need the book to do the challenge. If you don’t have it yet, it’s available on Amazon, in bookshops, on Kindle, and on audio.
