Let me guess: your calendar looks like a toddler attacked it with a box of crayons and somehow you still have no time to work on your myofunctional therapy business.
Yeah, I see you.
Here’s the truth: you’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. You’re just doing it backwards.
In this post, [and in the Myo Life Podcast Episode #23] I’m breaking down the 3-step calendar strategy I teach inside Total Calendar Control (yep, it’s also inside the Ditch Hygiene Academy™), and it’s the exact process I used to set up my calendar once I ditched the operatory.
If you want your schedule to reflect the business and freedom you’re building—not the burnout you’re running from—keep reading.
Step 1: Figure Out Your Enough
Before you color-code a single thing on your calendar, you need to know your “enough” number. That’s the bare minimum you need to cover your non-negotiables like rent, utilities, groceries, and debt—without picking up extra hygiene shifts just to survive.
We’re not talking about your dream salary here. This is your freedom number. The one that buys you back your time so you can actually build your business.
Once you know that number? Divide it by your hourly rate. If you need $3,000/month and make $50/hour, you only need to work 60 hours a month. That’s just 15 hours a week—not 40.
Boom. You just found your business runway.
Step 2: Set Boundaries Like a CEO
Let me say this loud for the people in the back:
You cannot build your business in the leftover scraps of your week.
If your biz always comes last, it will stay last. So set boundaries. Real ones.
Say no to time-sucking favors. Set business hours. Let your family know that when Mom’s in work mode, she’s unavailable.
Want people to respect your time? Start by respecting it yourself.
Step 3: Prepare Your Calendar Like You Mean It
This is where it all comes together.
I use a process called Total Calendar Control™ and it’s a total game-changer. Here’s a simplified version:
- Start your week with a brain dump.
- Plug in your non-negotiables—your job, appointments, family time.
- Block off a daily 2-hour power block to focus on your business.
- Use your remaining time for your Big 3 priorities: marketing, selling, and serving your clients.
No more 37-tab to-do lists. No more random flailing. Just focused, intentional action.
You Don’t Need More Hours. You Need More Clarity.
If your life feels too full to start a business, it’s time to look at your calendar—and your mindset. You’ve got to be willing to make temporary trade-offs to build the future you want.
And guess what? You don’t have to figure it out alone.
👉 Inside the Myo Business Accelerator™ I’ll walk you through this entire process. We’ll set figure out your “enough”, dial in your boundaries and set up your calendar for freedom!
