The Shaping Your Days & Fuel Experiments

Join me this summer for a playful, collaborative experiment in sculpting time and streamlining the ordinary work of everyday life in ways that fuel innovative work.

Hi, I’m Cairene. I study time, energy and change – and their connections with making things.

I teach what I understand. And I experiment with what I don’t yet.

And I try to take that seriously without being so serious all the time.

Time is a dimension to be shaped, not a force to be managed. Learn to sculpt it.

Changed the very fabric of my life

This course has been so much more than I anticipated. I was looking for a way to manage my time that WORKED and a way to get over the procrastination, it-never-seems-to-get-doneness. Got that. But what I didn’t expect was the absolute subtle shift in how I regard time itself. It is now a container rather than a driver. And shaping a day around how I work/what I need is so obvious and basic, and yet changes the very fabric of my life. Thank you. I have enthusiastically recommended this course to friends and colleagues.

Instead of stifled, I feel liberated

I have always dreamed of doing real planning in advance, but I usually bristle at the idea of locking myself in. In working with Cairene, instead of feeling stifled by planning, I felt liberated by it. I was able to create a map of what I want the next six months to look like that creates a feeling of freedom and spaciousness. From that map, I’m creating systems and routines that support me and my business. It’s happening organically and sustainably. It’s creating space for growth. And I'm brimming with enthusiasm for planning, which possibly has never happened before!

5x More Words Written

By putting the lessons into action, I went from 3,000 words written in eight weeks to 16,000 words written in three weeks. (Plus I attended seven more taekwondo classes than usual, wrote two reports, began editing a novel, and completed a ton of other work.) The changes in my perception of time are astounding. I'm getting more done than ever, yet my time feels expansive, like I have more time than ever. I'm not even finished with the course and it has already more than paid for itself. It is transformative. I highly recommend it.
