In this insightful episode of ACTually, Lani and guest coach Cait Blakely pull back the curtain on their recent "Get Stuff Done" retreat—an intentional 3-day business sprint designed to move the needle with focus and ease. They reveal why sometimes the best way to get things done is to break your own rules, ditch the hustle mindset, and work with your energy instead of against it.
In This Episode:
- What our 3-day retreat looked like and why we planned it this way
- The surprising productivity hack of doing it together, but separately
- Why batching creative projects in a focused window can generate massive clarity
- What to do when your brain feels foggy or distracted (spoiler: it’s not always “push through”)
- How Cait used tiny micro steps to create a full course—and why she almost didn’t
- The mindset shift from hustle to flow when you’re building something big
Key Takeaways:
- Structure your get-stuff-done time around your real life, not someone else’s formula
- Collaboration fuels clarity, but so does space and silence
- Give yourself permission to change the way you execute, especially when you need creativity
- Tiny shifts over time are what actually build momentum
- You don’t have to hustle to get results—you just need to start and stay consistent
Action Steps:
- Pick one lingering project and give yourself a deadline to sprint through it.
- Ask a biz bestie to co-work with you for accountability.
- Try a mini retreat—whether it’s an Airbnb or a local coffee shop—and protect that focus time.
