Alright, let’s be real.

The last 30 days on Skool have been crazy.

Visibility? ✅

New followers? ✅

Notifications blowing up on the daily? ✅

Growing Communities? ✅

And while I LOVE seeing this community grow and those likes/comments stack up, it can get overwhelming FAST.

So, how do I handle it?

Balance, baby.

Look, one size does NOT fit all, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this—blocking your time is a MUST. 🚨

This is my way of doing it, and I hope it sparks some ideas for you.

And I’m breaking it down for you right now.

1. BLOCK YOUR TIME LIKE A BADASS.

If you want to keep moving the needle in all areas of your business, you’ve gotta schedule and block out your time.

Yeah, Skool is on fire, and I’m soaking it up, but if you don’t put structure in place, it’ll eat your time alive.

YOU choose how long you spend on each area.

It could be 15 minutes or 4 hours. Your rules, your game. 🎯

2. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SKOOL NOTIFICATIONS

First thing in the morning, I jump into my Skool notifications. 🔔

I tick off all the “likes” to clear the noise (seriously, the other day I had 300+ notifications—wild af!).

Here’s a tip: Pay attention to who’s liking your posts. These people are already connecting with you, so keep that momentum going.

If they post, show them some love too. Law of reciprocity. What you give comes back. 🌟

Then, I respond to every comment—one by one. If someone needs deeper support, I go there. If it’s just an emoji? I might throw in a cheeky gif back. It all adds up to building real connections, and that’s where the magic happens.

3. SHOW UP FOR YOUR INNER CIRCLE

Your community members?

They’re the priority. They’ve invested in you, so invest back.

Once the general notifications are cleared, I focus on my epic inner circle—the people who’ve already invested in my community and need next-level support.

Write down where they need help, and give them that time.

Your members come first. Always. 💯

4. ENGAGE WITH YOUR OUTER CIRCLE

After handling your inner circle, it’s time to jump into your outer circle—people you follow and the communities you’re part of.

Here’s the thing: You’ve got to engage in other communities too, not just your own.

Be intentional. When you support others, guess what?

You start getting that same love back.

It’s give and take—community building doesn’t just happen by lurking.

5. BLOCK TIME FOR YOUR OWN BIZ

Don’t get so caught up in engagement that you forget to move your own business forward.

Once I’ve handled my inner and outer circles, I block out time for my business.

Whether it’s creating fresh copy, adding new content to my classroom, or updating my VSL (which made a HUGE difference recently).

This block of time is all about growth.

This is where you ask yourself: What am I doing today to move the needle?

6. RECHARGE YOURSELF

Last but not least: Take time for YOU.

You can’t pour from an empty cup, right?

Whether it’s a walk, a workout, or just sitting down with a drink and switching off for a while, this block is just as important as any other.

Recharge, refresh, and come back ready to crush it. 💪

IN A NUTSHELL 🥜

Skool Notifications: Clear the likes, respond to comments, and watch who’s engaging with you.
Inner Circle: Your Community Members come first. Give them the support they deserve, always.
Outer Circle: Engage in the communities you’re part of and show support. Law of reciprocity, baby.
Your Business: Focus on what moves the needle. Don’t forget to grow YOU.
Recharge: You need time for YOU. Take it.

Yes, there’s a lot going on, and I know I’ve been neglecting my FB community a little... but you guys on here are just so f*cking badass, I can’t help it! 😂

And if anyone out there has a Mimi-clone machine, I’m all ears! Seriously, though... I could use one, especially with everything on my plate right now.

But here’s my question for YOU ❓

How are YOU blocking your time?

Or are you just winging it?

And if you’re winging it, how’s that going?
