In the beginning of 2026, my dog ate an entire bottle of Motrin. She’s fine. My work week was not.
Then the stomach flu moved through my house. Doctor visits. Cancelled plans. Zero predictability.
And I still worked! Just not in one clean block. In windows.
There’s a name for this: microshifting. Breaking the day into flexible pieces instead of forcing one long stretch. Parents have been living this for years, but we’re just finally getting language for it.
The leaders who trust their people to manage energy instead of monitoring hours? They’re the ones actually building something sustainable.
If you’re navigating all of this solo and want backup, whether that’s 1:1 or a community of people juggling the exact same thing, DM me “let’s talk.” I’ll find time for us.
