Most of the time, before we even get out of bed, we already make a mental list of the things we need to do and want to do. But, how in the world can you get it all done. How can you balance work, family and your own life goals with all the things on the to do list.
Laura Vanderkam, author of the series “What the Most Successful People Do,” has researched it and put it all in a book entitled, What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast: A Short Guide to Making Over Your Mornings — and Life (affiliate link).
I listened to the audio version of this book and I was so inspired when she started to paint a picture of what a great morning can look like.
Before I knew it, I was looking in my purse for my sketchbook (yes, I carry a mini-sketchbook with me at all times!) and drawing out what I was hearing. Hope it inspires you.
Enjoy… this could be your typical morning!

Read any good books lately? I have not read any good books lately, but I have listened to MANY good books. I devour audiobooks because it’s so convenient. I can listen while walking, driving, and even having lunch. One of my favorite audiobooks is The Art of Exceptional Living by Jim Rohn. Jim Rohn was a speaker, motivational coach, and a philosopher.
Jim Rohn once said “If you want to hide something put it in a book“.
Isn’t that interesting? There is so much good information to be discovered in the pages of a book. I’m glad that success leaves clues.
His sound advice has stuck with me over the years and he is a classic. If you want to step up your game on leadership, take his advice. Leaders are Readers. That was the inspiration for this drawing.

A few months ago, I had a great experience working with Pam Slim at her Power Boost Live event. Wow, that was some conference (see blog post here).
Valerie Steiger was one of the featured speakers. Valerie is a Master Coach and specializes in retreats, event planning and speaking.
Recently, I looked through my conference goodie bag and found pictures I made in my notebook during her session. Valerie used lots of imagery while speaking which made it so enjoyable for me to draw, draw, draw 🙂
Valerie walked us step by step on creating a live event. We all left the session wanting more. The information she shared was actionable and practical. Here are my favorite tips.
- An event can be with just 2 people. I never about it that way, but it’s true.
- Engaging the senses during an event makes it memorable. FEEL, SEE, HEAR, SMELL and TASTE
- Don’t squeeze too much into the agenda. People need breathing room. The MAGIC is in the white space.
I took my favorite quote from Valerie and made this sketchnote.
