You’ve heard the phrase “take back your time”—but what does that really mean? In this bonus episode of It’s About Time, I’m getting personal about how my definition of time management has completely changed. Spoiler alert: it’s not about doing more—it’s about living better.

Plus, I’m sharing a sneak peek at something special coming your way on April 28th.
Have you ever tried system after system, app after app, planner after planner… Only to feel like none of them actually work for you? You’re not alone, and you’re not the problem. That feeling is called system fatigue—the burnout that comes from trying to get organized over and over again, and still feeling like you’re spinning your wheels. Today, we’re talking about why the systems you’ve tried aren’t working, the signs of system fatigue (and how to know if you’re in it), and how to go from chaos and calm—without doing it alone.

Our habits shape our entire lives. From waking up early, to drinking your coffee on the way to work, to reading the kids a bedtime story, habits are the nearly invisible building blocks of our lives.

So how can you build the best time management habits you possibly can? And how do you make those habits stick around? That’s what I’m talking about in this episode.

What do you do when life moves at light speed, but you feel like you can’t keep up?
It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s likely time to slow down and rest.
I know many of you will have a visceral reaction to that — you don’t have time to slow down! But if you don’t slow down and take a beat now, you’ll be forced to later. You can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t go full speed ahead forever. You aren’t the Energizer Bunny, my friend.
And that’s why in today’s episode, we’re talking about SIX ways to slow down when life moves too fast. Because you can’t keep going at this pace forever — something’s gotta give!

Everyone wants to be their best selves, right?
But what happens when your self-help resources… aren’t helping? Our default reaction might be to assume that WE are the problem, but that’s not necessarily true.
Sometimes, self-help isn’t helpful, and not everything is right for YOU. Self-help resources are great, but only when you use them in a way that supports how you operate.
In this episode, I’m going to talk about some of the reasons it might feel like self-help is doing you no good, and what you can do about it going forward (instead of being hard on yourself).

Whenever I tell people that I’ve hired a professional organizer to unpack our boxes and put things away, one of the most common responses I get is, "Oh - I could never do that, I’m WAY too Type A." And I get it. Working with an organizer means giving up a little bit of control. But if you've got a lot on your plate, why not direct your Type A Talents where it counts? In this rebroadcast of Episode 73, I'm talking all this organizing with Sara Landry West, owner of South Coast Organizers. Sara has now unpacked my family and gotten us settled TWICE and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Listen in to find out the four steps to organizing anything, and some of the misconceptions I had about working with an organizer.

When we think of “productivity,” we usually think about getting more things done. Checking more off our to-do lists. But that’s not the actual definition of productivity — and it’s definitely not how we want to live our lives. In this episode, I talk about the real definition of productivity, why I want to reframe it to include priorities, and how you can actually decide what to work on next instead of just “doing more.” SHOWNOTES for Episode 126

Mistakes get a bad rap, but they’re actually a pretty important part of our lives. Ideally, we make a mistake when trying something new, learn from it, and move on. Mistakes like, for example, trying a time management strategy without adjusting it to fit YOU, or buying a fancy planner with the hopes that it’ll ease your struggles. I’ve made these same mistakes, and I’ve learned from them. I took it one step further and created a new time management method that works with you, as well as your goals and values.

Recently, I had the light bulb moment while talking with a time management coaching client. Time management is definitely NOT a “set it and forget it” situation. It’s always changing to fit your life. One of the biggest changes I’ve ever lived through was becoming a mother and welcoming my girls into the world. Time management is different in all 5 trimesters. Yes, FIVE. That’s exactly what I’m talking about in this conversation with Jessica Lorion on her podcast, “Mamas in Training.” Whether you’re a mom, mom-to-be, hope to become a mom someday, or you just want to understand what your friends and coworkers experience - this episode is an interesting look at time management that’s constantly evolving. Just as we’re constantly evolving.
You’re feeling frazzled, overwhelmed. You’re feeling like you’ll never catch up, like there’s never enough time, and that you’re never going to figure this out. I know exactly how you feel. When nothing seems to go right, it’s easy to feel like time management just doesn’t work for you. In this episode, I’m sharing three mistakes many people make when it comes to time management and what you can do instead. Then, I’m pulling back the curtain on The HEART Method - the time management framework that can work for literally anyone - including YOU.

How do you do it all without losing your mind in the process?

Spoiler Alert: I don't do it all. But there ARE several strategies I've implemented over the past few months that are enabling me to do what matters most. You know I'm an open book, so I'm pulling back the curtain this week to share how I do life lately.
