Key takeaways from Ask Lynn.
Launching something new is exhilarating, but it’s also an energy marathon, not a sprint. Schedule Vitality Intervals each week, protected time for rest, joy, and thinking space. Guard your mornings for creative work, and end each week with a quick “burn check”: what fuelled you, what drained you? Your business will only grow at the pace your energy allows.
When everything’s spinning, don’t chase balance - chase clarity. Plan your week by energy, not tasks. Do deep work when your mind’s sharp, lighter tasks when it dips. Set boundaries early and say “no” without apology. Each Sunday, name three priorities for the week - anything else is a bonus. You’ll feel calmer and more in control.
You’re in the “re-entry zone,” and that takes patience. Don’t pressure yourself to be who you were, grow into who you’re becoming. Use a simple 3-minute reset at work: step away, breathe deeply, roll your shoulders, and ask, “What actually needs my energy right now?” Reimagine connection too, a walk, a quick coffee, or a voice note still counts.
