The Bare Minimum Challenge
Join us live from Oct 31-Nov 4 to master The Bare Minimum Method.
Sustainably finishing projects in your business is only possible when you take care of yourself…And sometimes taking care of yourself is doing the bare minimum.
Sadly, the Bare Minimum Challenge is now over!

Procrastination can be a form of misguided self-care.
Your brain is trying to give you space to recover—but it’s ineffective, because you’re still carrying the mental and emotional weight of everything you didn’t get done.
It’s time to learn a better way of true self-care: The Bare Minimum Method.
The Bare Minimum Method is an easy, doable 4-step process that you can pull out anytime you feel low-energy, you’ve got a lot going on in your life, or you just want more downtime.
Come learn the Bare Minimum Method at the 5-day live Bare Minimum Challenge.
This is for you if:
- You're a business owner
- You've historically struggled with procrastination and perfectionism
- You fundamentally believe in the necessity of true rest
- You want a reliable way to manage periods of low-energy or intense life circumstances
- You crave the skill of intentionally doing the bare minimum, without sacrificing success
- You want a reset, because your current results aren't matching your level of busyness
Without the Bare Minimum Method
- You panic when you hit a low energy period, because you feel blindsided
- You push things off—but still think and worry about them
- You try to avoid your unease by distracting yourself
- You debate succumbing to the pressure to work, since you're not truly resting anyway
- All of your work stacks up
- You tell yourself you shouldn't have taken time off
With the Bare Minimum Method
- You feel a low energy period coming on
- You whip out your Bare Minimum Protocol
- You respond to yourself with kindness when you feel guilty, ashamed, or overwhelmed
- You use your newly created downtime to actually rest, or to dabble in interesting new things
- You return to full capacity ready to hit the ground running—with a manageable workload, and a stronger ability to prioritize
The Bare Minimum Method
During the live 5-day challenge, you’ll get hands-on experience using this 4-step process; then you’ll be able to whip it out on your own in the future.
- 1. Rate your current energy level
You'll use a 1-10 scale to determine your current energy level, no matter what's currently impacting it—like your physical health, jet lag, an intense life circumstance, or a low-energy period.
- 2. Make a Bare Minimum Protocol
Using the 7 Bare Minimum Method questions, you'll make an easy-to-follow action plan that matches your current energy level. You'll make it crystal clear for yourself what's actually going to get done in your business, and what you'll intentionally dump, delegate, or delay.
- 3. Follow your Bare Minimum Protocol
Using the follow-through techniques that I'll teach you, you'll take action on your plan. You'll do what you said you would, and enjoy the freedom and relaxation of purposefully not doing anything more.
- 4. Shift your emotions
As you follow your predetermined plan, your brain will try to convince you to do more. Instead of responding to this shame, guilt, fear, and anxiety like you normally would (by unhappily taking stressed-out action), you'll learn to actively reduce your negative emotions and increase your positive, productive feelings while getting the rest you're craving.

FAQs:
When I came up with the idea of this challenge, I had the exact same thought—how can I encourage people to do the bare minimum, when I’m also teaching them how to finish projects?
But the reality is that sustainably finishing projects is only possible when you know, like, and trust yourself.
And if you’re constantly overworking or burning yourself out by not honoring your low-energy periods, you’re accidentally reducing that self-trust.
High-energy project sprints are available to you, and they’re most effective when you’re starting them from a well-rested, rejuvenated place—mentally, emotionally, and logistically.
There are four resources included with the challenge:
- Before kickoff: Prep emails
- During the 5-day challenge: A pop-up Facebook Group
- During the 5-day challenge: Daily live, interactive coaching calls
- Forever access: The Bare Minimum Challenge Bundle
Leading up to the live October 31-November 4 challenge, you’ll receive a set of prep emails that will help you understand the bare minimum concept more deeply.
On Sunday, October 30, the private pop-up Facebook Group will open, so that you can get oriented.
On Monday, October 31, you’ll get access to the Bare Minimum Challenge Bundle, which has all of the tools, concepts, and exercises that you’ll need throughout the live challenge.
From October 31-November 4, you’ll get unlimited written help from me in the pop-up Facebook Group.
Spend as little or as much time in the challenge as you want; no matter what, you’ll get exactly what you need from it.
On Friday, November 4, the pop-up Facebook Group will close down, and I’ll give you the opportunity to work with me in my program, Half-Finished to Done, LIVE.
Just a little!
