Alyson Stoner, 26, is an actress whose credits include various Disney and Nickelodeon productions. She has also independently developed an online audience of over one million who turn to her for advice about wellness and creativity.

Last month, as Hollywood sets went dark, her second career ramped up. By mid-March she was feeling caught in a “hamster wheel” of work. That’s when she got a call from Josh Zimmerman, her life coach.

Mr. Zimmerman, 35, helped Ms. Stoner prioritize her projects and narrow the scope of her responsibilities. Within 24 hours of their call, she had a plan for a timely series about grief, gratitude and self-reflection called “14 Days of Mindfulness,” which she would share on Instagram Live and YouTube.

She shelved other projects that were taking up too much time. “I reclaimed my mornings, and that structure has allowed me to maintain a sense of stability and sanity during quarantine,” Ms. Stoner said.
