Iâve decided that sustainable time management is my new goal rather than focusing on productivity.
In this episode, weâre exploring what that means to have a system of sustainable time (and life!) management.
Listen in to hear:
Why sustainability matters more than productivity 3 ways we can start creating a more sustainable system for time management The most important thing to include in your time management strategy, no matter what season of life you are inThis episode is the last in our series on time management! I hope youâve enjoyed it as much as I have.
I donât have any current plans for more episodes in the near future, but make sure you are signed up to get emails from me HERE so we can keep the conversation going about time management (after I have a baby)!
I'd love to hear any thoughts or insights you had while listening to the episode. Say hello via DM on Instagram @kristinbrown.

This episode is for anyone who feels trapped by a life of perpetual busy-ness and craves a simpler, calmer experience of their life.
A common theme I see among the overstretched business owners I've worked with over the years is their tendency to take on way more work than they actually have capacity for. They feel like they're never doing enough, yet they're busy all the time.
They say yes to every job, client, and opportunity and don't stop to make sure all that work actually fits within the limited hours in a day or week.
This leads to a life imbalance and a lack of personal wellness that gets worse the longer it goes on.
But this doesn't just happen to business owners â we ALL can fall into the trap of taking on more than we have capacity for.
In this episode you'll learn why we do this, how we can use constraints to maintain balance, and practical examples of what it can look like to introduce the concept of "enough" to different areas of your life.

How often do you mentally jump ahead to a future time when things are sure to be better than they are today?
I am so guilty of this and it's something I'm working through right now as I impatiently wait for the end of this pregnancy.
I'm re-learning (this is definitely not my first time struggling with trying to escape the present moment!) what I can do to stop fretting that the future isn't coming quickly enough and find joy and beauty in this current day/week/month/season.
Listen in to learn my simple (but not necessarily easy) trick for instantly focusing back in on the present moment instead of resisting or avoiding it.

I've been noticing lately that there are two activities that pay major dividends in every aspect of my life. Two activities that, when I take time for them, create MORE time and energy.
Yet they are also the very first things that I drop when things get hectic or stressful (which happens to be right when I need them the most).
Listen in to hear what the two activities are and why they're so useful. You'll also hear why I think doing BOTH activities is 10x as powerful as just doing one or the other.
