Today we’re talking about one of my favorite tools—not because it’s fancy or complicated, but because it’s honest, powerful, and deeply personal: your dream week.
Now, if you’ve been around a while, this might sound familiar. I first shared about this way back in Episode 073 of the Content Systems for Growth Podcast. And while a lot has changed in my business since then, the heart behind it remains the same. If anything, my understanding of time, alignment, and clarity has only deepened.
So today, we’re revisiting the concept of a dream week—but with a fresh perspective. One that’s rooted in where I am now, and maybe where you are, too.
Part 1: Does Your Week Reflect What You Actually Value?
Let me ask you something.
When you look at your current schedule…
Does it reflect the life and business you thought you were building?
Or have you found yourself caught up in doing things that no longer make sense, just because you said yes to them months ago?
I get it. I’ve been there.
Because I understand the value of time, I constantly question how I spend it. And I often ask myself:
“If I were doing exactly what I wanted to be doing with my time, what would that look like?”
And if the answer is not what’s currently on my calendar…
Well, that’s a sign something needs to shift.
Part 2: Ask the Hard (but Honest) Questions
Here’s what I want you to do.
Be still.
Actually pause.
And pray.
Ask:
- What am I avoiding in my schedule?
- What tasks feel heavy, like sandbags I’m dragging around out of obligation?
- And maybe most importantly: how can I design a week that’s actually pleasing to God?
Because here’s the truth—when we’re living in alignment with what God has called us to do, we feel it. We feel joy. We feel peace.
And when we don’t?
We start trying to control and force everything. We hustle harder. We burn out faster. And we forget to turn to Him for direction.
So if you’re not feeling that joy and peace in your schedule right now, it might be time to stop and ask:
“Am I trying to do this on my own?”
Part 3: What Is a Dream Week, Really?
Let’s clear something up:
A dream week is not about stuffing more into your calendar or achieving “Pinterest-perfect” productivity.
A dream week is about clarity.
It’s about taking a step back and asking, What do I actually want this to feel like?
In my business, I keep a separate calendar inside of Google Calendar just for my dream week. It’s a light gray color. I can toggle it off and on. But most days? It’s on. Because it helps me check in—am I building a business and life that aligns with what I say I value?
Part 4: My Dream Week—Just to Give You an Example
Here’s what my dream week includes:
- The Bible App, 2021, was the first year I participated in a “Read the Bible in a Year” plan, and I’ve been doing it every year since.
- Meditation
- Journaling—my favorite way to clear the mental clutter
- Reading
- Walking the dogs (with a little pause for gratitude)
- Time blocks for content creation, client work, and professional development
- Lifting weights or yoga
- A hard stop in the afternoon, because evenings are for rest and family
And friend, I don’t follow this perfectly. But I’ve learned that just having it brings clarity and calm. It’s not a rulebook—it’s a guide.
I even work in 25-minute sprints most days because I’ve learned that’s what keeps me focused and sane.
Part 5: What Needs to Shift?
Once you have a sense of your dream week, here’s the next step:
Compare it to your actual week. What’s out of alignment?
Ask yourself:
- What am I spending time on that I could release?
- What things am I holding onto that someone else could be doing better or faster?
If you’re spending your days buried in backend work, it might be time to bring in help. An Online Business Manager or Operations Assistant can clear space for you to focus on what only you can do.
And let’s talk about social media for a second, because this is something I’ve been rethinking.
When things get busy, it’s the first thing I let go of. I’ve always prioritized long-form content, such as this podcast or my blog. But now that Instagram and Facebook posts are starting to show up in Google search? I’m seeing it in a whole new light.
If staying consistent with your content feels impossible, maybe it’s time to ask: Is this the season to delegate it?
Part 6: You’re Allowed to Pivot
One thing I want you to remember is that there’s no one right way to do this.
Your dream week doesn’t have to look like mine. It doesn’t even have to look like the one you made six months ago.
Because guess what? You’re allowed to pivot.
You’re allowed to redesign.
You’re allowed to pause, pray, and start again.
And if you’ve been walking through your week wondering, “Why does this feel off?”—I want to lovingly suggest… maybe you’re due for a recalibration.
Wrap-Up + Soft Call to Action
This week, I want to challenge you to create your ideal week.
Not the Pinterest version. Not the rigid version.
The version that reflects your values, your calling, and your God-given vision.
And if you’re tired of carrying all the things—especially when it comes to content and backend work—I’d love to support you. That’s exactly what I do inside my Content Repurposing Services and setup systems.

You don’t have to keep doing it all alone.
Next week, we’re talking about what to do after you’ve created that dream week—how to stop procrastinating and actually tackle what matters most first thing each day. We’re talking about eating the frog. So be sure to come back for that one!
Until then, I hope this blesses you.
