Summary

Feeling like you don’t have enough time is a common stumbling block, but today we’re flipping that on its head. It’s not about having time - it’s how we spend it. I’m so excited to have author and time tracking expert Laura Vanderkam back on the show to discuss time discipline versus time freedom and how to change your perspective of the time in your day. By the end of our interview, you’ll be asking yourself, “What makes today memorable?” and understand how to create intentional days going forward.

What’s In This Episode:

• Look at how you spend your time: The Paradox of time discipline and time freedom
• Being a self interrupter: Learn how to open up time and space for yourself
• Savoring time: Why it’s not MORE that you need
• Stretching the experience of your time through intentional days
• Feeling ‘off the clock’ by putting time into perspective

RSVP to my Free Online Training: 5 Healthy Habits to Boost Your Productivity at inkwellpress.com/5habits. Each Tuesday, I’ll be offering YouTube videos on that week’s podcast topic. Let’s dive deeper into productivity and living purposefully together.
