07FAQ
What is Make Room for the Good Stuff?
Make Room for the Good Stuff is the Good Life Workshop: a self-paced, four-week interactive online workshop from Built for Living with Rio James. It helps busy people turn plans they keep postponing into dated, realistic plans for their actual week.
Who is the workshop for?
It's made for busy, professionally active people, especially women aged 25 to 40, who keep saving good things for 'someday'. Anyone who recognizes that feeling is welcome.
Is the workshop live?
No. It's self-paced and interactive: no schedule, no group calls, and no sessions to attend. Rio guides you through short screens whenever it suits you, on your phone or computer.
How much does it cost?
$12.99, as a one-time purchase. There is no subscription. Checkout is handled securely by Lemon Squeezy.
What's included in the workshop?
Four guided chapters, a step-by-step plan editor with smaller versions for busy weeks, weekly reviews, a before-and-after recap, and five reusable tools: a 15-minute weekly planning card, the Good-Stuff Menu of 20 ideas, eight ready-to-edit invitations, a one-page outing planner, and a busy-week pocket plan.
Do I have to finish in four weeks?
No. The four weeks are chapters. Move at your own pace and return to any tool.
How much time does it take?
Allow about 10–15 minutes for planning. The quick-start route takes about five. The activity itself is up to you.
What happens if I miss a week?
Nothing bad. The No-Catching-Up Rule says don't restart, double up, or fill in missed days. Make your next workable plan and carry on.
How is this different from a planner or habit app?
There are no streaks, scores, or daily tasks. Each week you choose one thing you'd enjoy, fit it into your real calendar, make it easier to show up, and notice what helped.
What kinds of plans does it work for?
Small, everyday ones: coffee somewhere pleasant, a walk, dinner with a friend, a beginner class, a picnic close to home, or a quiet evening that feels like yours.
Can I plan solo?
Yes. Company is optional. Every chapter has a solo route, and enjoying your own plan counts.
Can I use it to see friends more?
Yes. Chapter 3 helps you choose someone to see, send a specific invitation, and host without the production. Copying a message never sends it for you.
Do I need to be fit or outdoorsy?
No. There are quiet, seated, indoor, solo, and low-cost options. Choose what fits your life.
Is this a workout or meal plan?
No. It helps you make practical plans for things you enjoy. It doesn't prescribe exercise, diets, or treatment.
Does it send reminders or notifications?
No. Nothing is sent to you or anyone else. You can download a calendar file for any plan that has a specific date and time.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It's designed for phone, tablet, and desktop.
Can I print my plans?
Yes. Your plan cards and reusable tools have print-friendly views.
Are my answers private?
In this version your answers are saved in your own browser, not on a server. You can download a backup or delete everything at any time.
Do I have to share my answers?
No. Sharing is optional. You choose what goes into any exported card.
