Description
Hi, I’m Megan Sumrell and I’m excited to welcome you to my limited series podcast, Ditch the Overwhelm. I’m the creator of the #1 time management system for women (The Top Program) and I want to help you gain control over your schedule in a way that helps you THRIVE.If someone asked you, “what do you like to do for fun?” would you have an answer? That’s the question that sent me into my personal life crisis wondering where I had lost my way. I wasn’t always an organized planner. This is a LEARNED skill. But guess what? That means you can learn it too. It doesn’t matter how many things are on your plate daily, there are ways to prioritize your schedule so it doesn’t overwhelm and stress you out. Productivity isn’t about getting ALLLL the things done, it’s about prioritizing the important things and knowing what you’re capable of doing. If you’re the queen of mile-long to-do lists that never end up getting checked off then I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve got something to tell you, you really can’t do it all. And that’s ok, great even. You can accomplish what needs to be done for your family, work, and even yourself with some time management growth and reflection on what you want to accomplish. Once you’ve set up the proper systems and created a clear path to productivity you’ll be thrilled with the result. Survival mode is not a fun place to be. If you’ve been hanging out there for weeks, months, or even years then I hope you’ll join me for this 10-episode series and listen to how this program has changed lives. Let’s Ditch the Overwhelm!

I’m happy to share my mom with you in this episode! She’s truly the best and I couldn’t think of anyone better to share about my transformation and how I was as a child. If you’re thinking, “I’m way too disorganized and lost to learn this.” I can promise you that it’s just not true. When I asked my mom if I was naturally organized, she said I did have an organized child but it wasn’t you. Ha! Maybe my sister did have an edge on me as a kid. I am pleased to announce that b...
Everyone is searching for ways to increase their productivity and to be honest there are many ridiculous ideas floating around. So many “gurus” encourage you to go faster, work harder, and just do more. *eye roll* I really like to flip the idea of productivity on its head by asking, “how can we be our best at everything by doing less?” Productivity to me is simply getting the most important things done in a way that does not stress you out. And the best part is that you get to decide w...
In this episode, you’re going to get to know one of my clients, Leah. She was a reluctant stay-at-home mom when she joined The TOP Program and has since started her own business helping other moms. When she first started the program she described life as feeling like she was on a constant hamster wheel. She didn’t have any structure in her day and didn’t even know what structure should look like with two young children. She was struggling emotionally and fighting to get anything done. Lif...
In this episode, we’re digging deeper into the concept of work+life harmony and how it can be achieved. You’ll notice I don’t use the term balance. Usually, as women, it’s a lot more complicated than balancing two things and giving them equal attention at the same time. I want you to think, are you trying to balance everything at the same time? Are you trying to fit everything in and give it all your equal attention? If you’re constantly feeling exhausted and stretched too t...
1Let’s start with what time management is NOT. It doesn’t mean that every minute of every day is scheduled. It also doesn’t mean that you do the same thing every day or week. It’s not so rigid that you can’t change plans or be flexiblePeople resist the idea of time management because of these preconceived notions. It’s not about getting the most done. It’s about using your time well and in a way that serves you. You are the ultimate decision-maker over your calendar.&nbs...
When people hear the word “systems” it can be a turn-off. Systems sound complicated, complex, and confusing. But I promise it can be 100% the opposite!

In this episode: I’m going to reframe systems so that they’re easy to understandI will explain how I’ve created formulas to help you create the right schedule for you and your familyYou will learn how you can use these systems in other areas of y...
In this episode, I’m going to introduce you to one of my clients, Jodie. She has had an amazing transformation after going through The TOP Program and putting in the work to create systems and processes that make her life easier. If you’re working long hours, have young kids and feel deep in over your head you’ll NEED to listen to Jodie’s story and how the weekly planning system really worked for her. She’s even been able to focus on putting self-care tasks on her calendar. Whi...
Have you thought that maybe if you just woke up earlier, stayed up later, or hustled a little more you would be more productive? I promise you that none of those techniques are sustainable or even work. Being busy doesn’t equal productivity. You could easily fill up your days running around as fast as you can doing all the tasks… And after weeks still not be productive in what matters most to you. Productivity is really about doing the right tasks, in the right order, and in the most ...
This entire podcast and honestly The TOP Program itself is designed to give you the time back to do things you love. This isn’t about getting up earlier, going to bed later, or hustling till you’re completely burnt out. The sad reality is that many women are undervaluing how much they are worth. In this episode, I’m introducing an exercise on finding what your time is actually worth. ________________________________ Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony? JOIN...
