🍂 Back to… (fill in the blank): The Goods
Hey,
Can you smell it? Autumn is here 🍁
We officially move into the new season on September 22 at 5:45am, and this edition of The Goods is to support you in gearing up for back to… school? The office? A non-summer morning routine?
Whatever you’re ready to get back to, this love note is filled with ideas, tools, gadgets and resources to support you in amping up your “get shit done” productivity prowess, while remaining cool as freshly fallen autumn leaves.
Ready?
Let’s go.
I’ve been doing Interval Timer work sprints for many years now. I teach it in many of my curriculums and it’s the central pillar of any coworking call I’m part of. I even meet with my friend Quiana on Fridays and we flow together through 4 rounds of 25 min work > 5 min break. It’s taken me a while, but I finally found a timer that can sit on my desk and be used to keep time without me having to pick up my phone or deal with an app on my computer. The simpler, the better. Perk: this timer is also great for meditation or taking healthy breaks from work.
✅ The Checklist Book by Alex Franzen
I still love this book, and I still love my daily checklists. Are you seeing the trend here? I am endeavoring to find more ways to weave analogue productivity and creativity into my daily flow. Don’t knock the checklist until you try it. Want to be a super geek like me? Put your checklist on a clipboard and hang it next to your desk.
🎨 ALL of Austin Kleon's books
Steal Like An Artist, Show Your Work, and Keep Going are three books EVERY creative person, entrepreneur and leader should have in your library. I binged all 3 of these books in 2024 and I feel I will read them all once a year. He inspired me to create more analogue solutions in my life and office. Cannot recommend highly enough!
🪔 Spruce up your workspace
Nothing beckons me to my desk like a tidy workspace, good smells and good vibes. As we move into fall, take some time to beautify your workspace. Buy a new candle, some lovely incense, maybe add some scientifically-backed mood lighting, and take care of your spine by making sure you have an ergonomic laptop set up.

Happy back to __________, dear one!
And hey, if you’re amped up to finish a big meaningful project this fall and you’d like some support to make sure you actually cross the finish line, I’m flirting with the idea of offering a 6-week “get it done” group program where I walk you through my signature framework to take any project from concept to completion.
Real time support, group brain, hive mind, to get done what matters most.
Big love and changing colors,
PS. I love the archetypal energy of autumn. It’s all about trimming the fat, pruning dead limbs, stripping our projects down to the bare necessities and deciding what is MOST important. Listen to my Fall Archetypes podcast episode to brush up on Autumnal energies.
PPS. Here’s my personal Autumn Playlist too, to get you in the mood! 🍁
