Summary
Through these listener questions, you'll learn how to reduce the stress that comes when you're constantly trying to keep our personal, family and work lives organized. Sometimes it's difficult to maintain our productivity systems or to delegate to our kids or coworkers - especially during the busier seasons in our lives. I'm sharing my favorite strategies, productivity tools and how to assess what system you need in your environment.
What's In This Episode:
• How to keep up with your productivity systems and routines… even during your busiest times.
• The key to consistently delegating tasks to your family (even young kids!) and your team at work.
• Examples of how you can customize your productivity tools to help keep the different compartments of your life organized.
• Tips for creating family meetings that will run smoothly, and leave you feeling satisfied instead of burnt out at the end of your day.
