How To Figure Out What Makes You Happy
Oh hey there,
I’m Sarah Von Bargen.
Want to look at your calendar and your bank statement and think “Yup, I made awesome choices”? I’ll show you how to spend your time, money, and energy on purpose.
You’re allowed to stop if it’s not working
It’s 6:30 pm and I’ve spent the entire day in my pajamas. Not for a good, fun, ‘treat yo’self’ reason but for a ‘so busy you don’t have time to get dressed’ reason.
I’ve been wearing these pajamas while I ghostwrite and proof four, 700-word blog posts. I’ve been wearing them while I schedule a month of Facebook and Twitter updates. I’ve been wearing them on a conference call with a client who talks over me, interrupts me, and requests three rounds of edits.
If ‘this isn’t working’ had a uniform, it’d be pajamas-as-workwear.
I’m happy to report that this ‘too busy for real clothes’ era is in the past. These days, I have a set of morning habits that include putting on real clothes and walking the dog before I even read email (!!!)
But before I could do that, I had to
a) acknowledge what wasn’t working
b) stop doing the stuff that wasn’t working
Friend, in case you need it, here is your permission. If something’s not working, you’re allowed to stop.
Welcome to Yes & Yes!
Want to spend your time, money, and energy on purpose? I'll show you how.

How To Do Things By Yourself (And Actually Enjoy Them!)
