Hello and welcome to The Monthly Page for June 2025 โ these are a special edition of my weekly newsletter filled with resources for the month ahead!
Somehow we blinked and June is here, bringing the halfway mark of the year ๐If youโre feeling a little disoriented about where time has gone, same. May was particularly hectic between still getting settled in our new home, traveling to France, and then tossing a new puppy into the mix! But instead of spiraling, Iโm choosing to use this month as a reset button.
If youโre also looking for that shiny reset button, plan to join me for our Monthly Review Day coming up on Monday, June 2! Iโll show you just how off-the-rails my habits and routines were in May and how I reset for a fresh start in the last half of the year. See ya there?
Happy June,

๐ถ PLAYLIST: Discovering new music (not always new in the sense of release date but new in the sense that I havenโt heard it before) is a hobby Iโve tried to stay consistent with.

๐ค๐ป EVENT: Join me on Monday, June 2, from 9-10:30 AM CT for our Monthly Review Day! This is a designated time each month to check in on your digital systems, update your habit tracker, and set goals for the month ahead. Thereโs also a 45-minute co-working session and a LIVE Q+A. Would love to see you there!
Curious what a Monthly Review Day is or what it entails? During this 90-minute session weโll complete a few routines that are core to my organizational methods:
Weโll do a habit check-in using my Habit Tracker for Google Sheets. This is a time to update your tracker, reflect on what did/didnโt work, and get it set up for the month ahead.
Then we โco-workโ silently for 45-minutes and work through my Digital Cleanup routine (below) which is part of my PIES Method for digital organization.
After that weโll quickly check in on our progress and set a goal for the month ahead.
Then I hang out and answer any questions during a LIVE Q+A, which is optional.
These events are exclusive to paying subscribers, and thereโs usually anywhere between 15-35 of us on the call. Theyโre a great form of community and accountability and if you have other things you need to work on during this time you can also use it as a general co-working session.
๐ป DOWNLOAD: Struggle to prioritize the things you WANT to do each day? Try applying Parkinsonโs Law using my Daily Schedule Creator โ it teaches you the method with step-by-step directions in the left margin.
๐งน SYSTEMS CLEANUP: Prep yourself for the month ahead with my quick 15-minute routine:
๐ 3 MINS - Review your upcoming schedule to assess where you are spending your time. Does it align with your priorities?
โ 3 MINS - Look at your projects and tasks and make sure everything is up to date. Anything you need to update or delete?
๐ 3 MINS - Curate the files on your computer and phone (including photos you took this month!). Delete things you don't need. Does your information feel organized and accessible?
๐ 3 MINS - Look through any paper notes or random bits of info you collected last month. What digital system could you move it to so it doesn't get lost?
๐งผ 3 MINS - Clean your work area, wipe down your desk and monitors, and when you're ready โ update your phone and computer wallpapers (see above for files!)
Learn more about my PIES Method for Digital Organization in this series and work through this method with me on Monday at our Monthly Review Day!
โ๐ป WRITING PROMPTS: Here are four writing prompts to try out this month.
Which things make you grateful to be alive, even on bad days?
If you could have dinner with five people, living or dead, at your house, who would you invite and what would you cook for them?
Do you have any talents that no one or very few people know about? Why donโt more people know about it?
Which childhood memory are you the most grateful for? When do you find yourself thinking about that moment and why?
