5k to 11k A Day: More Steps, Less Stress
Over the past two weeks, I went from averaging 5,000 steps a day to over 11,000. That’s an increase of 120% in physical output. I was moving more, but the biggest change wasn’t in my body — it was in my mindset.
That shift didn’t happen overnight. It came from gradually building habits that felt sustainable. Tracking what worked for me. Making changes that didn’t feel like punishment, but like care.
And somewhere in that process, it clicked:
This is exactly how productivity should work, too.
Let’s talk about exactly what I changed.
I wanted to incorporate a lazy girl workout into my routine, and what better way to start by simply walking more? I didn’t want to set the bar too high, so I decided to plan my routine by mood. Not only did the distance and location change depending on my mood, I also took the weather into account. We are currently experiencing an intense heatwave, a major curveball when it comes to hitting my new goal. Since I go to bed early (another recent update to my routine) I naturally wake up around 3am, and I decided this is the ideal time to get a run in. Doing more miles before the sun comes up, instead of playing catch up later was one option that worked really well for me.
You Don’t Need to Work Harder — You Need to Work Realer
Imagine what doubling your aligned effort could look like in your work, your ideas, your goals. Not the kind of effort that comes from forcing it or masking. The kind that comes from clarity, from seeing your energy patterns and building around them. The kind that works with you — not against you.
That’s Where the Productivity Realignment Kit Comes In
I created the Productivity Realignment Kit because I was tired of pushing through burnout just to “get more done.” I needed a system that helped me flow with how I actually operate — not how someone on Pinterest thinks I should.
Here’s what PRK gives you:
Energy-Based Planning: so you’re not forcing the wrong task at the wrong time
Visual Task Organization: so your brain isn’t constantly searching for structure
Mood-Based Workflows: so your productivity reflects your real capacity, not your shame
Weekly Reset Rituals: so you don’t keep starting over from scratch
These are tools I built out of necessity — as someone living with chronic illness, mood swings, and an always-spinning brain. They’re not about discipline. They’re about design.
Want to realign your productivity?
Grab the Productivity Realignment Kit here, below, or check out the masterclass if you’re more of a watch-and-do type.
When you decide to realign how you actually move, think, and feel, you might just go from barely keeping up… to surprising yourself — the same way I did when 11K became my new normal.
