0:00.0 | In this episode, we talk about how to keep things top of mind. Get excited because this is tiny leaps. Big change. One of the things that makes following through on the things that matter to us harder is |
0:29.1 | really just keeping things top of mind, keeping the things that we say we want to do on top of our mind |
0:36.3 | when we have to navigate everything else that we're dealing with with life, whether that is personal commitments or our job or what our kids need or whatever |

0:47.8 | There are any number of things that we have to go through on a day-to-day basis. And so when something isn't already established |
