Off The Clock On Purpose is a course created by Dr. Kara Monroe for people who want to use their time outside of work with intention — those who feel busy but not purposeful, or who have more free time ahead and want to fill it with meaning rather than drift. The course guides participants through a process of clarifying what they actually want their off-clock hours to look like, building the routines and rhythms that support that vision, and removing the default patterns that consume time without providing satisfaction. Kara draws on her background in creative problem solving, adult learning, and personal development to create a structured framework for intentional leisure, rest, and purpose-building. The course is especially well suited for those approaching retirement, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling the quiet ache of spending time on things that don't matter to them. Off The Clock On Purpose is about designing your non-work life with the same care you'd bring to your career.
