Summary

We’re into compassionate time management around here, but it’s not just pep talks and high fives. We’re practical and kind, but we’re also educated. We are trying to understand why we struggle with time management, why we own so many planners, why we never feel like we’re doing enough, and even if we finally have let that go, we still struggle against the tide of everyone else making us feel bad for our beliefs. Basically, the problem is not you, and today I’m going to show you why by reading you the first chapter in my new book, out October 8, called The PLAN. Helpful Companion Links Pre-order my new book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy once it releases in October. To thank you for pre-ordering the book, I’m sending out pep talks every Monday through the end of the year. Get yours here. Sign up for the Latest Lazy Listens email.
