Summary

Snippet From the Show “Be sure you are not discerning your self-worth in the things you accomplish each day. You have worth as a child of God, not matter how productive you are.” Would you like an extra 3 or 4 hours in each day? We all feel overwhelmed and crunched for time sometimes. This week, Danielle shares some ideas for ways to make the most of the 24 hours we do have each day. Some of these include: Clarify your priorities. Block your time and batch similar tasks. Create a daily schedule. Eliminate time wasters. Learn to say “No” and “Not now.” Delegate tasks. Set time limits and take breaks. Take care of yourself. Set realistic goals. Another podcast where we discussed a similar topic was 5 ways to Be More Productive.

0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 393. Find more time in your day.
0:09.7	Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission to help you.
0:16.0	Know your worth is a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.
0:20.0	This week we're talking about
0:21.3	how to find more time in your week. Who doesn't need that? I know I do. Let's get started.
0:32.5	Hey, girlfriend, thank you so much for joining me here on the newest episode of the Girlfriend's
0:39.5	podcast. This week, we are taking on this topic of finding more time in your day, in your week,
0:46.1	in your year, in your life. This is a problem we all have. I mean, who hasn't found themselves
0:50.9	wishing sometimes that there were, you know, 30 hours in a day or
0:54.7	eight days in the week. I think we all feel short on time sometimes. And now that we're kind
0:59.8	of full swing into the fall and we're into our new routines and schedules, maybe you've got
1:04.3	kids who are back to school, maybe you started new work routines. It's really time to assess
1:08.9	how we're spending our time. And are we being as productive
1:12.2	as we could be? But before I start to share some of my ideas, I've got a few different
1:17.7	little thoughts that I want to share with you on this topic. Before I do that, though, I want to
1:21.9	reiterate something that I talked about in a podcast that was maybe it was a little over a year ago that I did. And I'll link to it in
1:29.1	the show notes, which is five ways to be more productive. And before I took on that topic,
1:33.6	I just wanted to remind you and me of the fact that productivity is not a virtue in and of itself,
1:43.2	right? Being busy is not a virtue. So when we talk about
1:47.1	finding more time, being more productive, these can be good things and these can be good goals
1:50.8	that we have, things that we want to be working on. We want to make sure we're being good stewards
1:55.1	of our time. But never fall prey to that trap of thinking that you can earn yourself worth with busyness,
