About Me

Laura Čodere

I'm Laura Čodere - an entrepreneur, time planning trainer, PCC coach and mother of four young children. And I know exactly what a day looks like when everything is just too much.

Time planning isn't just a professional topic for me - it's my everyday life, in which I have to plan everything that matters to me. I'm a mother of four, an entrepreneur, the manager of a co-creation space, a community builder and countless other roles I take on every day. The question that lands in my inbox most often is: “How do you get so much done as a mother of four?”

My path has been varied. I started in banking, then worked as an assistant to executives, where I learned what a day looks like when someone else's calendar runs it. Later I helped open a company's branch in Latvia, where I orchestrated many different roles and planned my days across the Nordic countries. After that I led «NextGen microcities», a €6.5 million European urban innovation project with ten partners in two cities, taught law and records management to young entrepreneurs at Ventspils University of Applied Sciences, and today I'm a senior project manager at THEO Growth. Along the way I earned two master's degrees, one of them a double degree - all while our family was growing with children.

I've been through burnout. Of course, you might think - how could it be otherwise when you're doing so much at once? But mostly it happened because I had taken the most important thing out of my planning - time for myself. After burnout I had to walk the path from chaos to order all over again. That's when I understood its value - the value of time planning - and finally decided to share it with you. That's how the book «No haosa līdz kārtībai» (From Chaos to Order) came about. Since 2022 I've independently organised women's events, moderated forums, given talks for companies and organisations and coached people one-to-one, and since 2026 I've led the Ventspils and Ventspils County community of the association «Sievietes aizsardzībai “Skudras”», where I also emphasise the value of time in crisis situations. I help people and teams build time planning systems grounded in science and adapted to real life. I test every method on myself first and share only what has proved valuable. And I'm sure of this - there is no perfect routine, only your system, one that works for you. And only you can find it, build it, adapt it and bring it into your life.

My Mission

To help you find your unique path to effective time use - not through a one-size-fits-all formula, but through your individual needs and life circumstances. Your best life is already yours - let's just make it more structured in the way you want.
