EP398// Frustrated Getting Everyone Out The Door? Time And Sanity Solutions

Spring is here and the excitement for school might be waning.  As the weather changes, our clocks spring forward, and summer approaches it can be harder and harder to get everyone out the door in the morning.  You may find yourself feeling frustrated and frantic after kids oversleep, trying to get them to eat breakfast, gather what they need for the day, actually put on shoes (is it just my kids), and make it into the car with all of their belongings.  Sound familiar? In today’s episode we are going to focus on some practical ways to make morning routines smoother and the process of getting the kids up, and out the door a bit easier and less stressful.

EP396// The Truth About Productivity: It's Not Your Fault

Do you find yourself frustrated at the end of the day? Maybe you didn’t quite get all the projects you were working on finished.  You thought maybe I need a new planner or a new system or to be more focused or manage my day better.  If I just ______ then I would be productive and feel accomplished and successful at the end of my day.  Our society pushes the message that if you just do ___ you will be successful, but the truth is it’s not your fault.  Recently I have been reading The Plan by Kendra Adachi, the host of The Lazy Genius podcast.  I love her perspective on productivity.  In today’s episode I wanted to talk through how our current perspective of productivity might be skewed, how we can change our perspective, and how that shift will help us to be kind to ourselves and those around us.  Definitely grab that coffee - let’s dive in!
