Your Time, Energy & Money Are Talking—Are You Listening?

Let’s get real for a second: Your life isn’t happening to you—you’re designing it with every single decision you make.

👉 How you spend your time? That’s a reflection of your priorities.
👉 Where your energy goes? That’s what you’re valuing.
👉 Where your money goes? That’s what you’re betting your future on.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re constantly playing defense—it’s time to stop, assess, and take back control.

The 3 Areas That Will Make or Break Your Clarity

(1) Get Clear on Your Time

Your calendar is a reflection of your priorities. If your schedule is packed with obligations that don’t align with your goals, you’re not managing your time—your time is managing you.

  • Audit Your Calendar: Look at your upcoming week. Are there things you can delegate, shorten, or eliminate?
  • Schedule Joy First: If it’s important (date night, self-care, creative time), put it on the calendar first.
  • Cut the Noise: Not every meeting needs to be an hour. Not every networking event is worth attending. Be ruthless.

Monique-ism: Time is the one thing you can never get back. Use it wisely.


(2) Protect Your Energy Like It’s Your Most Valuable Asset

Your mental and physical energy is finite. If you’re constantly drained, you’re not showing up as your best self.

Quick Hacks to Protect Your Energy:

  • Set Boundaries: Stop saying yes to things that deplete you.
  • Identify What Drains You: Some people and activities steal your energy—limit them.
  • Do More of What Fuels You: Find small habits that recharge you (morning coffee, journaling, workouts).

Monique-ism: You can’t do everything at once—but you can do the right things at the right time.

(3) Take Control of Your Resources (Yes, This Includes Money!)

Your resources (money, skills, network) should be working for you, not against you.

Financial Clarity = Life Freedom
Women often avoid financial conversations, but here’s the truth: you can’t build a life you love if you’re stressed about money.

  • Track Where Your Money Goes: Your spending habits reveal your priorities.
  • Invest in Yourself: Education, coaching, training—these are not expenses, they’re investments.
  • Make a Money Plan: Saving, budgeting, investing—take control.

If you’re not intentional about your resources, you’ll always feel like you’re playing catch-up. Start small, but start today.

The Bottom Line? Clarity = Power.

When you’re clear on your time, energy, and resources, you lead your life with purpose. You’re not just reacting to what happens—you’re creating what happens.

So, take a moment today:
✔️ Look at your calendar—what needs to go?
✔️ Check in with your energy—are you drained or fueled?
✔️ Assess your resources—are you using them wisely?
