I once worked 80-hour weeks + never felt like there was enough time in the day to get everything done.
It was suffocating.
Does this sound about right?
Why is it that I resist scheduling a vacation (even though I want it) and then feel like I need a vacation from our vacation and long to be back at work?
Why do I text my friends to get together, only for it to sometimes take months to schedule a get-together on our calendars?
Why is getting together with people SO hard?
Why is it that when someone asks me if I have plans, I immediately tell them no even if I have solo plans BUT tell them yes if a doctor’s appointment is on my calendar?
How do I create a feeling of stability in my schedule while also feeling free-flowing and spontaneous? Can they even co-exist?
Why is it that I always have grand ideas of all the things I’ll get done today (underestimate how long a project is going to take me), only to have this sinking feeling that I’ve accomplished absolutely nothing at the end of the day?
Why is it that even when I have some extra unexpected time I end up wasting it by trying to figure out what I’m going to? Because this rarely happens and I feel the pressure to use the time well…. And I have a loooong list of things I want to accomplish and an even longer list of things I need to accomplish.
Why does open space sometimes feel so painful? Why do I have the urge to fill it as soon as it comes?
Will there EVER be enough time? OR will I always be racing against the clock?
Maybe, I’ll just sleep when I die? Cuz that’s the only way I’m getting all this stuff done!
I also know what it’s like to be juggling all the things and feeling like you just can never get ahead.
You don’t need more time management strategies.
What works for someone else’s time isn’t going to work for you.
Trying to fit yourself into their perception of time, is only going to leave you frustrated, not understanding why you’re stuck in this rat race.
What you need is a customized strategy that’s going to work for you based on YOUR uniqueness.
If you’ve been struggling with your time and wondering why…
I want you to know, there’s nothing wrong with you.
Time is a SKILL.
And you can master it.
You’re excellent at the things you do because you care.
You’re intentional.
Now it’s time to take that special care you’ve taken in other areas of your life and apply it to time.
I can teach you how to get 10+ hours back into your week and fall in love with your time.
It’s time to tap into what makes you uniquely you and optimize THAT.
It’s time to heal patterns of toxic shame, guilt, and apologizing for yourself, your needs, and your desires.
It’s time to stop pushing yourself so hard + boxing yourself into strategies that aren’t working for you, and create personalized systems + bulletproof mindsets that fit you like a glove.
And GOOD NEWS, these results can happen quick.
Because we get to the root of your time struggles instead of putting a band-aid over them with the latest management strategy.
This isn’t management…
This is expanding.
This is freedom.
This is about YOU, not some cookie-cutter strategy.
There are 5 main strategies I will use to help you create joyously abundant amounts of time.
Mindset
If you’re always saying, or thinking that there’s not enough time, it’s gonna be pretty hard to break that cycle. I help you create bulletproof mindsets that start to shift your reality until you realize you’ve made it: you have enough time and you love it. Sometimes we look at this from a purely thought-oriented perspective (I like to use tools like the Model by The Life Coach School, and mindset reframing strategies from Marie Chapian and William Backus to name a few) and other times we lean into inner healing to heal your body and mind of memories you had no idea was impacting your time.
Schedule Strategy
There’s more than meets the eye when you’re talking about creating or managing a schedule. There are simple shifts that create huge results but only if you know how. I’ll help you learn the strategies that’ll have you optimizing your time in a way that feels good. It’s no longer either spontaneous or planned. I’ll teach you how to have the best of both worlds in however quantities you want it.
Flowcharts for Personal or Business
When your time feels out of control, its often because you don’t know your unique patterns that are guiding you through life. I love creating flowcharts for my clients (hi, feelers, I see you!) to visualize what’s going on in their body and brain so they can move through emotional regulation quicker and easier…. Freeing up hours of time because that mental and emotional space is also creating you actual time.
Systems + Processes
Have you ever been left wondering how some people just have all their stuff put together? Do you feel guilty or ashamed that you don’t? Like why the heck do the dishes keep piling up no matter how many times you work to clean them up? Sometimes the only reason things aren’t working is because you just don’t have a process in place. I promise, I’m not going to take your spontaneity away, or create systems and processes that are going to feel rigid and heavy. I’ll help you create systems and processes that align with YOU, your specific needs and desires, and if you have one, the needs of your family as well. This is going to free up that mental burden you’ve been carrying around of always trying to remember everything AND create more hours in your week for the things you love doing instead of things you feel you have to do.
Time Boundaries
That might sound like a scary word depending on what you’ve experienced with boundaries in the past. Believe me, I’ll be gentle and meet you where you are. I like to think of boundaries like a gate rather than a twenty foot fence with barbed wire around your heart (thanks Danny Silk for this!). Boundaries CONNECT you… to yourself, to others, and to God (yes I believe in God, but I only bring this into our coaching IF you want it. All are welcome no matter what your spiritual beliefs are. If you have more questions on this, please reach out. I’m happy to share more about this influences the coaching container.)
We work together for 3 months.

Weekly Calls
You get one-on-one calls with me once a week. This is fully personalized to YOU. Here we’ll create the bulletproof mindsets you need to pave the way for an abundance of time. Some weeks will be slower. Some weeks we’ll focus on the strategies like time formulas, standard operation procedures (SOPs), and other systems and processes to create lushious amounts of time for you.
-
Unlimited Support In-Between
Your brain is going to want to go back to old habits in between sessions. Problems are going to come up, and when they do, I will be right there for you. You’ll have access to me throughout the week via the Signal app (specifically chosen because I love how Signal makes privacy a priority. You can read more about that here.)
-
Systems + Processes
All of my clients are different. Some need the perfect project management system so they can clearly see what their priorities are. Others love having a flowchart to be able to recognize the emotional patterns that hold them back and how to overcome those. Others need some help to create inbox zero to free up brain space for other projects and to reduce overwhelm. You get what you need from schedule audits to email audits and everything in between.
MORE CLARITY + NO MORE MICROMANAGING
”I've been asking for help more [from my manager]. I ask him clarifying questions like, 'What would you like here?" He doesn't always give me all of the information that I want but just asking the question makes me feel more confident... so I can move forward with things. It makes me confident that it was the best I could do with the information I was given. Before not having clarity would stop me in my tracks, or I was tempted to micromanage. Now I ask for the help I need and move on... creating faster results for me and my company."

What clients are saying…
In 2019, I regularly worked from 12-1:30am. But since coaching with Francesca, I am now not working past 6pm! I’m finally taking vacations every quarter which feels AMAZING! I used to push through no matter what. Now I’m giving myself the permission I’ve been longing for, and taking time for my body to slow down all the while increasing productivity!! Francesca has also really helped me to stop checking my email first thing. We’ve created routines so I’m able to prioritize taking care of myself first, taking care of my priorities before all the notifications come in! Creating boundaries here has been freeing up SO much mental space. I also got a job working for Flodesk. I love it - and I’ve doubled my income while working LESS!
- Nicole Steyn, CEO & Founder of Kayley Digital Studio
I’ve doubled my income while working less!
“The system worked. I don’t think I realized just how much anxiety an inbox full of stuff gave me until that anxiety wasn’t there for once. I finally got inbox zero! There was never a point where my inbox was just a giant, overwhelming mountain of shame. I no longer have emails just sitting there and staring at me.
When it came to emails in the past, my shame was probably an 8 or 9 out of 10 at its worst. That quickly turned into a “4” after working with Francesca. I’ve cut my response time down by 87% (8 weeks to 1-2 weeks). There’s a sense of pride and responsibility that I now have. I’ve been responsive to my people, which is definitely a core value for me. It feels like I’m finally living up to something I always preach to other creators, but have been sketchy about myself.”
-Rob Hardy, CEO & Founder of Filmmaker Freedom
The System WORKED. I’ve cut my response time to my clients down from 8 weeks to 1-2. That’s 87% LESS.
I went from 90 hour work weeks to 40 AND got promoted TWICE!
Coaching with Francesca changed my life! A year ago, I was the head of my department, overseeing payroll for over 3,000 people. I had NO work BOUNDARIES. I was only contracted for 40, but it quickly turned into 90 hour work weeks. I was with my team from 7am-12am - everyone was doing it. Looking back it was so unhealthy. I totally crashed when it was over! At the same time, I was dealing with heaps of disappointment from past seasons in my life that I had no idea how to tackle. Francesca helped me process tough emotions and trauma that I was afraid to go to alone. Francesca helped me create boundaries both emotionally and spiritually that profoundly changed how I view relationships.. I made HUGE progress in recognizing unhealthy ways I felt I was responsible for other people’s emotions. It feels good to let that go. I feel so free and light!
Francesca’s also helped me create space for myself. This year, in my new job, my boss told me in week 2 ‘You can work as many hours as you want.’ I looked at her, and I said, ‘Thank you! But I will be working 8 hours a day.’ One day my co-workers decided to stay late to finish orders - but I said to myself, ‘No, I have boundaries. I won’t do that. I give my all when I’m at work - that’s enough.’
As a result, my dreams are more alive than they’ve ever been. I have one evening a week for myself plus Sunday, and I’ll never give that solo-time up again! I recently got promoted at work twice, my team has doubled in size, we put off a huge event without a hitch, AND I got engaged... and I’m still ONLY working 40 hour weeks!
-Rebecca Hamson
I went from 40% just showing up and responding what shows up to 90%.
“Before working with Francesca, I’d often feel guilt that I wasn’t making enough time on my schedule for my kids. In my business, I wanted less meetings on my calendar - they just felt like they stagnated my progress… I longed for more creative flow time.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could have 90% of my calendar to show up and respond! I would have that was completely unreasonable. But Francesca found a way!
I now hove an entire DAY to go wherever my inspiration leads me plus an additional 10+ hours for personal development. The rest of my work calendar is filled with serving clients. Not only that, but I get to take my kid to swim practice without any interference! AND there’s only 1 hour of admin on my ENTIRE schedule…. resulting in more time for me, my team, and my family.
I’m honoring my schedule in new ways I didn’t know was possible. My husband and my nanny are seeing the changes in me, and they can’t stop thanking me for doing this work!”
-Demi McConkie, CEO & Founder of AP Leadership

I love conducting scheduling audits because it’s the strategy that works so well along the mindset work we do together. We’ll always start out your 3-month coaching package with a schedule audit to get a clear picture of how your schedule is working for you and is not. I’ll send you a survey where you’ll share with me all about your relationship with time as well as how many hours you’re working and how many you’d like to work.
Once you’ve completed that, we’ll schedule your first coaching call, and I’ll advise you on how to free up your time. It’ll be a little bit of consulting and a little bit of coaching because of course, I’ll also be looking for what mindsets have been holding you back and keeping you from joyous and abundant amounts of time.
In the end, we’ll have a complete list of things to implement - don’t worry we’ll do this slowly! - so you know exactly what to change. You’ll implement, and we’ll continue to see what’s working and what’s not and make changes along the way until you’ve achieved your time goals whether that’s 10+ hours back to work on a dream project, or an hour to yourself each week without feeling guilty, or just a more loving relationship with your time. -
Great question! Together we’ll determine your #1 challenge that’s keeping you blocked from an abundance of time. Then, on your next session, I’ll coach you through personalized solutions that’ll all be documented in a beautifully laid out flowchart that you can always reference…. making it super easy for you to move through emotional patterns quickly and easily and know exactly what to do to get unstuck.
If this is for your business, it’s a similar process. We’ll pick one area to work on like onboarding a client, and we’ll document your current process from start to finish. I’ll then analyze what’s slowing down this process and what can be automated. From there, we’ll talk on our next coaching call about how to streamline the process. You’ll receive both the before and after. (*I do not implement for you in coaching. If you’d like this done for you, check out my Elevated Systems Automation + Implementation under OBM on the Work with Me page.) -
I’ve found working with past clients that email can trip them up as a total energy and time suck. I don’t want that for you! So I’ve intentionally created that as a bonus for your coaching package. They work similarly to schedule audits except I’m taking a look at your email with you. I’ll advise you on changes to make so that you can regularly have inbox zero, releasing a ton of overwhelm when you open up your inbox. Instead, you’ll feel relief and satisfaction at the end of your work day because you know everything is taken care of and nothing is slipping through the cracks… plus you’ll be working on YOUR priorities first instead of going into your inbox blindly as if it were a to-do list other people created for you.

Nope! While I have worked with a number of business owners, I’ve also worked with women in corporate jobs. The mindset work and strategies I use will work for your regardless of your work status.

Yes, I do! Many of my clients have been moms. Here’s one of my favorite stories from one of my mommas:
Elaina has a 2.5-year-old, a growing speech pathologist business, and a day job AND was able to create 3.5+ hours of time to herself each week working with me.
Here’s what she had to say after our work together:
”I know my calendar differently. Before I would need some time to myself but then I’d feel guilty that I didn’t get something else done. Now, I’m more decisive. My day flows easier, and I don’t feel stuck. If I get a window of time, I ask myself, ‘What can I accomplish in the next 10 minutes?’ instead of thinking about all the things I could do. I’m more motivated to prepare and make things easier for tomorrow because I KNOW I still have time for myself in other areas of my day.” - Elaina Stewart -
Of course you can! I’d love to have you back. We work in 3 month chunks but there’s no limit to how many times you renew. Each time, we’ll get clear on your priorities and desired goals so we can slam it out of the park!

I get it! As I’ve received my own coaching from mentors, I’ve grown more and more confident in getting my results no matter what. But sometimes it’s just nice to get a little test drive, yes? So just for you, you can set up a 1-off* session with me for $100 (greatly reduced from my regular pricing). Plus the only other time I offer 1-off sessions is for graduated clients. You can schedule that here.
*Only one 1-off as the best results are seen without the 3-month coaching container -
Great! Send me an email at hello@francescawoltanski.com, and we’ll get that answered for you.
