People ask me all the time: “Christi, how do you do it all?”
And I get it—the book, the business, the Powerhouse Women Network, the speaking, the family, all on top of a full time job. From the outside, it looks like a lot.
But here’s the truth: I don’t “do it all.” I’ve just learned to do the things that matter most with intention.
And that starts with three choices that anyone can make:
1. I’m Grounded Before Reactive
Most people start their day scrolling. I don’t. My mornings are sacred—time for my workout, Bible and devotional reading, journaling, and a daily gratitude practice.
I also set three intentions that anchor how I want to show up.
That rhythm keeps me centered and aligned before the noise of the world comes rushing in. By the time I touch my phone, I’m already clear on who I am, what matters most, and how I want to lead my day—instead of reacting to everyone else’s demands.
The data backs it up: A Harvard Business School study found that people who follow a consistent morning routine report up to 90% higher productivity and significantly lower stress compared to those who start their day reactively. And UC Davis research shows that people who practice gratitude daily report 25% higher life satisfaction.
2. I Only Do What Only I Can Do
At home and in business, I have help.
I delegate the things that don’t require my unique voice, vision, or presence.
Administrative tasks? Delegated.
Repetitive back-end processes? Automated wherever possible.
Household chores that drain time or energy? Outsourced without guilt.
That doesn’t mean I’m hands-off. It means I’m intentional.
I focus my energy on the things only I can do—coaching my clients, writing my book, creating content, leading The Powerhouse Women Network, and being present with my family.
Everything else gets handled through either delegation or systems.
Research shows: Leaders who delegate effectively generate 33% higher revenue and report significantly less stress (Gallup).
And studies from Harvard Business Review confirm that executives who leverage automation and delegation recover up to 20% of their time each week—time that can be reinvested in strategy, creativity, and impact.
3. I Trade TV for Creativity
Unpopular opinion, I know. But instead of losing hours in front of the TV at night, I use that time to write, prep for coaching, or invest in the projects that light me up. That doesn’t mean I never rest—I rest on purpose in ways that restore me.
But hours of binge-watching? That’s not the life I’m building.
The average American spends 3+ hours per day watching TV (Nielsen). Over a lifetime, that adds up to 9 years in front of a screen.
Imagine what you could create, build, or experience if you reclaimed even a fraction of that time!
Why This Works
These choices aren’t about discipline for discipline’s sake. They’re about alignment—the core of the Fulfilled Life Formula™.
By protecting my energy, honoring my values, and staying rooted in purpose, I can show up powerfully in every area of my life.
Action Step: 3 Steps to increase your productivity this week
1. Audit your mornings.
Are you starting grounded or reactive? Skip the scroll, add a workout, or take one small step toward your future vision. One small shift could change your whole day.
2. Delegate one thing.
Choose one task this week that someone else can do, and let it go.
3.Swap one hour of screen time.
Use it for something that actually fuels you—reading, journaling, walking, or rest.
