Hey Bestie,
We’ve been talking about building an empire, and you know what the best empires have? Systems. Flawless, leak-proof systems.
But here’s the tea: even the best systems get rusty. Over time, little inefficiencies creep in—a new app, a messy folder, a task you swore you’d automate but didn't. These aren't just annoyances; they are Energy Leaks that are silently draining your Sacred Block time and your precious Energy Optimization score.
This week, we are kicking off a new strategic cycle with the ultimate clean-up tool: The Strategic System Audit.
Think of it as a deep-clean of your business, but instead of scrubbing floors, we're scrubbing away the chaos. It’s a ruthless, high-leverage process that ensures every single thing you do is contributing to your ONE core goal.

The System Audit Protocol: Three Areas to Ruthlessly Inspect
Grab your detective hat, bestie. We are going hunting for leaks!
1. The Time Audit: Where Are Your Sacred Block Hours Really Going?
You schedule a Sacred Block for Deep Work, but do you ever wonder why you only get half as much done as you planned? The leak is usually in the transition.
•The Strategic Move: For the next three days, track your time in 15-minute increments. Be brutally honest. Include the 15 minutes you spent "just checking" Instagram, the 10 minutes you spent searching for a file, and the 20 minutes you spent scrolling through your inbox.
•The Leak to Plug: The time spent on context switching (jumping between tasks) and digital distractions. If you find yourself checking social media more than once during your Sacred Block, that's a massive leak. Put a physical note on your monitor: "Is this a Sacred Block task?"
2. The Task Audit: The Low-Leverage Lurkers
These are the tasks that feel productive but are actually just busywork. They are the definition of a low-leverage Energy Leak.
The Strategic Move: Look at your to-do list from last week. For every completed task, ask yourself: "Did this task directly generate revenue, build my core asset, or protect my energy?" If the answer is no, it goes on your Anti-To-Do List.
The Leak to Plug: Any task that could be automated or delegated for less than the value of your Sacred Block time. If you are spending an hour formatting a newsletter template, you are losing money. Use your Strategic Investment Fund to buy back that time, girl!
3. The Tool Audit: The App Graveyard
How many apps do you pay for or have downloaded that you use less than once a month? Each one is a tiny drain on your mental energy and your wallet.
The Strategic Move: Open your phone and your desktop. Delete or cancel any app or subscription that is not essential to your Strategic Execution. If you have three different project management tools, pick one and delete the other two. Strategic Simplification starts here.
The Leak to Plug: Decision Fatigue caused by too many options. By simplifying your tools, you reduce the mental load of deciding where to put a file or which app to use for a task.
