FREE NOTION TEMPLATE
What is your work actually costing you?
Not "how much will this make?" but "what does this cost my nervous system, and what does it give back to my life?" This audit helps you see which work nourishes your wellbeing and which quietly drains it.

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE
Three steps to work that fits your life
01 Start honest
Four questions to answer before you list a single idea, like: What does "enough" look like in this season, financially and energetically?
02 Score every idea
Rate each income idea Low, Med or High on time demand, energy cost, nervous system load, and alignment with your values. The template adds it up into a sustainability score, and you tag each one Now or Later.
03 Go deeper, then decide
Every idea gets its own page: why this idea, ease and effort, boundaries and a minimum viable version, and your next tiny step. Then choose your top 1 to 3 for this season.
HOW THE SCORING WORKS
Two ideas. Two very different costs.
Rate each factor Low, Med or High and the template adds it up into a sustainability score out of 12. The higher the score, the kinder that work is to your body and your life right now.

Both ideas feel deeply aligned. But the one happening now asks far more of your energy and your nervous system. The score doesn't choose for you. It helps you see clearly, so you can protect your energy, set a gentle boundary, or let something wait for a later season.
GO DEEPER
Every idea gets its own page
Click into any income stream and the template walks you through why it matters, when it feels easy or heavy, your boundaries and smallest viable version, and the next tiny step to take.
More income shouldn't mean less of you.
When your work supports your wellbeing, everything else gets a little lighter. Start here.
