Summary

When you finally lay down in bed at night, where is the first place your mind goes? Are you frantically reviewing your half finished to-do list, feeling shame and guilt over it? You're not alone! So many of us do this, then the next day we either over manage our time and become obsessed, or under manage out of fear. It's an exhausting cycle and I, for one, am over it! In today's interview learn how to dramatically shift your time management starting with just 5 minutes a day. Steven Lawson won't be a total stranger if you've been a listener for a little while now. He is the founder of Monk Manual, the planner that radically improved my time management and productivity. But don't worry, this is not an episode devoted to using a planner.

Tune in to feel empowered to cut your to-do list in half, respect the season you're in, find your top 5 priorities, time block, and more. With a little bit of planning, in whatever form works best for you, your time can truly be well spent. About a few other things... Enrollment for Podcast U is now open!
