What do you do when life moves at light speed, but you feel like you can’t keep up? It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s likely time to slow down and rest. I know many of you will have a visceral reaction to that — you don’t have time to slow down! But if you don’t slow down and take a beat now, you’ll be forced to later. You can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t go full speed ahead forever. You aren’t the Energizer Bunny, my friend. And that’s why in today’s episode, we’re talking about SIX ways to slow down when life moves too fast. Because you can’t keep going at this pace forever — something’s gotta give!

Everyone wants to be their best selves, right? But what happens when your self-help resources… aren’t helping? Our default reaction might be to assume that WE are the problem, but that’s not necessarily true. Sometimes, self-help isn’t helpful, and not everything is right for YOU. Self-help resources are great, but only when you use them in a way that supports how you operate. In this episode, I’m going to talk about some of the reasons it might feel like self-help is doing you no good, and what you can do about it going forward (instead of being hard on yourself).

It’s a lot easier than you might think. It all comes down to setting priorities, setting intentions, communication, and lots of systemizing and planning! If you’ve been itching to get back into a consistent exercise routine, these six tips can help you get there! Shownotes for Episode 166 Cick here to become a member of the It's About Time Academy!

Have you ever wondered why all those time management and productivity “hacks” don’t work for you? It’s not you — it’s them! You don’t need to get up earlier and force yourself into focus mode. Or buy another planner and fancy pens. Or even just make yourself sit down and focus. Traditional time management philosophies fall short because they don’t lead with value and intention — the two main ingredients for creating habits that stick! Learn more about how I do this using the HEART Method in today’s episode. Shownotes for Episode 163 Cick here to become a member of the It's About Time Academy!

When we think about finding peace in our day-to-day lives, we might not think about flexibility or “rolling with the punches.” But for my friend Nealy Fischer, flexibility is how she’s created a life she loves — one where she doesn’t dread going to work, feels inspired often, and has time to show up for her family. And it’s how you can too, my friend! In this episode, we’re going to talk about how Nealy got to where she is today and her advice for adopting a more “flexible” approach to life.
