Sick of feeling like your to-do list is your boss? In this episode, I team up with Barbara Boselli of bnow™ Consulting to break down time management in a way that actually respects your humanity—not just your calendar.

We tackle the three biggest saboteurs of productivity: people-pleasing, task-switching, and fuzzy priorities. Barbara shares her PRO Framework—Prioritize, Respect, Optimize—and shows you how to say “no” (without spiraling into guilt), align your actions with your real commitments, and stop letting multitasking run the show.

Because being “busy” isn’t the goal. Being intentional is.
