In this episode, we’re breaking down some game-changing concepts for optimizing your time: constraint, planning, resistance, and letting go of perfectionism. When you start applying these, you shift from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control—inviting more calm into your life instead of stress.
If you’re someone who constantly takes on too much (because let’s be real, high-achievers and moms tend to do that), this is for you. When we aren’t realistic about our time, we set ourselves up for frustration and burnout. Today, I’m sharing practical tools to help you start unwinding unhelpful habits around time so you can work smarter, not harder.
The reality? We don’t actually manage time—we manage ourselves within the time we have. When you stop thinking of time as the enemy and start taking ownership of how you use it, everything changes. Narrowing your focus creates clarity, momentum, and a schedule that actually aligns with what matters to you.
And yeah, letting go of multitasking and perfectionism might feel uncomfortable at first. But if you’re willing to experiment with these shifts, you’ll start noticing real differences—not just in how you feel, but in the results you’re creating.
What you will learn:
- Apply key time optimization strategies—constraint, planning and letting go of perfectionism—to shift from overwhelm to control.
- Take ownership of your time by managing yourself within the time you have, rather than feeling like time is managing you.
- Reduce stress and increase efficiency by ditching multitasking and recognizing perfectionism as a form of procrastination.
- Implement a simple planning challenge to experience firsthand how intentional time management creates clarity, momentum, and better results.
