The #1 Way to Ditch Distractions and Actually Reach Your Goals
- Jessica Stipanovic
You start the day with the best intentions, but by the end of it, your to-do list is still staring back at you. You’ve been busy all day, but the results don’t reflect your effort. Between managing home base, running a business, and keeping everyone else's schedule moving along, it’s easy to feel distracted and behind. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know you're not the only one.
In this blog, I’m sharing how live online work sessions helped me carve out protected time for the work that matters most. Through accountability, consistency, and community, I was able to start making real progress again, even while balancing family life, caregiving, and running a full-time business.
When I finally accepted that there would never be extra time, I started creating it for myself.
In 2022, I launched my first business, LIVE Online Writing Sessions for Women Writers, an online studio where women worked each week together on their goals, without guilt or distraction. A decision born from my own need, that gave me back my time and helped me move forward on dreams I’d once put aside. My first focused work session was a transformative experience.
After logging off that first session, I knew I had found a real solution.
I couldn’t wait for the next one. They quickly became the most productive part of my week. As I began making consistent progress, everything else started to fall into place. I felt more organized. Tasks felt lighter. My office felt more spacious. The unfinished projects stopped weighing me down. Stress lifted off my shoulders and was replaced by a sense of accomplishment. I used the time to build my offers, grow my platform, and eventually turn what once felt like a distant dream into a goal.
Now, three years later, I have created that same space for female entrepreneurs.
For a long time, I struggled with the discipline to put my business first. But that day, something shifted. I showed up for myself, and it changed how I saw everything. The guilt-ridden girl was replaced by a vibrant woman committed to showing up for her vision and seeing it through. From that point on, scheduling time for my business became non-negotiable, and it became the turning point in my entrepreneurial journey. And it can be for you too.
You don’t have to do it alone.
