You started a business so you could have complete autonomy over your time and energy.

Instead of measuring velocity and establishing values-based workflows, we’re taught to feel like we’re never doing enough and that optimizing our to-do list is the answer.

At Tonic Planning & Co., we're here to give you the tools for balancing your business with a busy schedule — no sacrifice required.

Instead, you’re stressed, sprinting towards the next milestone at breakneck speed and wondering how anyone sees success without sacrificing something that’s important to them.

It’s not your fault — the way we’ve been taught to approach work isn’t working. 

Instead of automating so we can experience more autonomy, we’re told that long term success comes from longer work hours.

Building a business and pursuing balance aren't mutually exclusive.

We are

Work With Us

We believe in leaning on technology to do what it was designed to do - save people time. With its powerful streamlining capabilities and penchant for task delegation, technology serves as a foundational cornerstone to a time management system that leverages  automation so you can experience more autonomy over your time and energy.

Technology Informed

We're firm believers in knowing your numbers. By measuring key metrics like work input, work output, and average work capacity, you can make informed decisions on how to allocate your time. Maintaining a set of reliable and objective data provides a level of predictability that takes the guess work out of creating a realistic plan.

Data Backed

We believe a sustainable time management solution takes every aspect of your humanness into account. From strategies that incorporate your innate preferences and tendencies to values-based workflows, your time management system should fit seamlessly into your every day life.

Human First

We take a human-first, data-backed, and technology-informed approach to creating processes and systems that help you manage your time so you can build a thriving business without having to sacrifice your freedom, health, or values.

We craft time management systems that take every detail into account.

Living a meaningful life comes from savoring the journey, not from sprinting toward the destination.

We believe

We are uncompromising in our values.

We aim to add value to the lives of others in everything we share, create, and deliver. We put the needs of our clients and community above our own personal gain.

Service

We ask for explicit permission. We make no assumptions on how people want to be treated. We take no liberties with the information we have been entrusted with.

Consent

We strive to deliver high-quality artifacts, content, and touchpoints that consider every detail and exceed expectations in both value and experience.

Excellence

We do our best to communicate in whole truths and understand that detail and circumstance are the difference between honesty and manipulation.

Transparency

We believe in over-giving, and we seek to overdeliver at every interaction without the expectation of anything in return. We don't hold back for the sake of profit. 

Generosity

I’m here to help you fit the execution of your ambitious goals into your busy schedule so you can focus on what matters most - enjoying your life and everything in it.

As an unapologetic overachiever and life-long planner (with the stack of planners I’ve accumulated since I was age eleven to prove it), I’ve always had an innate interest in puzzling out how to soak up the best of what life has to offer while balancing the pursuit of my ambitious goals.

I created Tonic Planning & Co. as an antidote to the stress and overwhelm that so often comes with balancing a business on the side of a full-time job because I refuse to accept the narrative that chronic, prolonged sacrifice is a necessary part of the equation — I believe planning makes the balance possible.
