Get to know Alexandra
What is one thing you can’t live without?
I can’t live without my label maker! It keeps my life organized and brings order to the chaos. There’s something so satisfying about everything being neat and clearly labeled; it makes my world feel at peace!
What’s your go-to productivity hack?
The 2-minute rule: "If a task takes less than 2 minutes to complete, do it now/don't put it off." This rule really helps combat feeling overwhelmed by a long to-do list, which can pile up during event prep. And when that fails, just add coffee!
What would you do with an hour of unexpected free time?
As a new parent, sleep feels like a luxury! If I had an hour of unexpected free time, I’d happily find a good place to hide out and dive into a much-needed nap.
