From Burnout to Breakthrough:
The Story Behind Creative Time Planning

Hi, I’m Zy Eaton a global supply chain strategist with over 15 years of experience in high-pressure industries like FMCG and pharmaceutical-medical devices. I’ve spent my career building world-class systems: saving companies millions, leading projects with teams across continents, and designing efficient operations at scale.

But for years, I couldn’t do the same for my own life.

I was meeting deadlines and managing deliverables, but behind the scenes…
I was rushing through school drop-offs, drowning in laundry, replying to emails at midnight, and waking up exhausted emotionally, mentally, physically.

I was a high performer on paper, but inside I felt like I was always behind.

​

The truth? The systems I built for work didn’t translate to real life, not in a way that honoured my energy, my values, or the people I love most.

That slow, quiet burnout? It was the wake up call. Not just to pause, but to rebuild differently.

So I turned inward and asked:
“What if I applied my supply chain brain to the most important system I’ll ever manage — my life?”

I began designing time with intention, not obligation.
I let go of productivity guilt and embraced rhythm.
I traded the “always on” mindset for flexible focus, human-led habits, and space to breathe.

​

That’s how The Creative Time Planning was born.

Today, it’s a space for women, working professionals, mothers, creatives, caretakers who are ready to stop stretching themselves thin and start creating a rhythm that works in real life.

Because we’re not here to balance it all.
We’re here to design a life that actually fits.

One where your time reflects your values.
One where your schedule serves you.
One where success and selfhood can coexist.

And if you're reading this, maybe you're ready too.
