| 0:00.0 | You're listening to episode 65 of the baggage reclaim sessions. |
| 0:05.6 | I'm your host Natalie Lou, author of baggage reclaim.com, |
| 0:10.3 | where I help people to offload the shady relationships and emotional baggage that block healthy self-esteem and loving relationships. |
| 0:19.0 | This week I talk about how to stop beating you up over bad judgment and what to do when you have |
| 0:26.8 | more ideas than time. |
| 0:30.6 | I've just finished up my latest book, Love, Care, Trust and Respect, which is going to be |
| 0:37.6 | available from the 12th of December, that's 2016 in case you're listening to this episode in the future. |

| 1:47.5 | them, like how can I have all of these ideas and not see all of them through? |
| 1:51.5 | And I think that's actually the first trap that a lot of people fall into is thinking, |
| 1:55.4 | oh but if I've had a hundred ideas then I should have basically made good on the majority of them. |
| 2:02.3 | That really kind of sets it up for a fall because if you've read anything about |
| 2:07.4 | productivity and to-do lists then you will know that the way that the mind works is that it doesn't differentiate |
