It's About Time | Time Management & Productivity for Work Life & Balance

Ever feel like your calendar is packed but you still feel completely empty? In this episode, I sit down with Jason Bohrer, author of Resilient: The 7 Pillar System for Peak Performance On Demand, to talk about why chronic overwhelm is not a discipline problem, it is a capacity problem. Jason and I unpack why your calendar works like a mirror of your nervous system, the simple deposit and withdrawal exercise that reveals where your energy is really going, and a 90 second reset you can use anywhere to shift from reactive to regulated.

Do you have a graveyard of online courses, workshop replays, and summit recordings collecting dust in your inbox? You're not alone — and there's actually a psychological reason you keep buying and never following through. I help you break the cycle so you finally get your money's worth, and I'm even sharing a free course tracker to help you get started. You'll learn how to make every course you own visible in one place, why having a reason for where you start matters more than the topic itself, and the simple two-step trick for separating the learning from the doing so you actually finish what you start.
