So how did"},{"startTime":96.846,"endTime":100.39,"body":"you even get started with time management, productivity, any of this stuff?"},{"startTime":100.47,"endTime":104.23,"body":"Yeah, it's such a weird story. So in 2018, my husband"},{"startTime":104.31,"endTime":107.862,"body":"was moving us all over the country for his career. So it was like we"},{"startTime":107.886,"endTime":111.622,"body":"were moving up and down the east coast and I was doing"},{"startTime":111.646,"endTime":115.36,"body":"the traditional nine to five, but I was having to leave and quit every"},{"startTime":115.4,"endTime":119.232,"body":"year that we moved. And so I never was growing in my"},{"startTime":119.256,"endTime":122.912,"body":"own career and I always knew I wanted to be my own boss, but I"},{"startTime":122.936,"endTime":125.568,"body":"didn't really even know what that meant or what it looked like. And it was"},{"startTime":125.624,"endTime":129.072,"body":"not really something that I even put thought into. And then in 2018, we made"},{"startTime":129.096,"endTime":132.512,"body":"a move to Rhode island and I was like, okay, I'm going to work for"},{"startTime":132.536,"endTime":136.048,"body":"myself. I'm just going to figure it out. And so I actually found"},{"startTime":136.184,"endTime":139.92,"body":"becoming a virtual assistant. And I was like, this isn't real. Like I had"},{"startTime":139.96,"endTime":143.602,"body":"no experience in the online world, so I was like, this is a scam. Like,"},{"startTime":143.626,"endTime":147.234,"body":"this can't be real. People make money doing this, whatever. So I just kept researching"},{"startTime":147.282,"endTime":150.754,"body":"and teaching myself and I'm like, I could do admin, you know, so that's kind"},{"startTime":150.762,"endTime":154.002,"body":"of how I got my foot in the door. So I did that and I"},{"startTime":154.026,"endTime":157.826,"body":"actually grew a virtual assistant agency. We grew extremely quickly."},{"startTime":157.858,"endTime":160.786,"body":"I had no idea that there were so many people out there that needed virtual"},{"startTime":160.818,"endTime":164.578,"body":"assistants and then also wanted some. So we"},{"startTime":164.634,"endTime":168.238,"body":"grew very quickly. Covid also propelled our growth"},{"startTime":168.294,"endTime":172.062,"body":"because everybody needed to figure out how to work online. So we"},{"startTime":172.086,"endTime":175.774,"body":"ended up growing that way. But then after I started having my little"},{"startTime":175.862,"endTime":179.502,"body":"babies, it was becoming apparent just my priorities,"},{"startTime":179.566,"endTime":183.358,"body":"my time, everything shifted in how much I had to give"},{"startTime":183.414,"endTime":186.958,"body":"to the business and to be able to be home."},{"startTime":187.014,"endTime":190.846,"body":"And that was my first priority. So I ended up being more"},{"startTime":190.918,"endTime":194.298,"body":"of not the day to day person, but I ended up consulting"},{"startTime":194.494,"endTime":198.274,"body":"my clients on operations, productivity,"},{"startTime":198.322,"endTime":202.034,"body":"efficiency systems, all the stuff that I loved. And so that's kind of"},{"startTime":202.042,"endTime":205.65,"body":"how I have gotten here is I was actually doing the work with"},{"startTime":205.69,"endTime":209.282,"body":"clients and then am now teaching people how to be more"},{"startTime":209.306,"endTime":213.058,"body":"efficient and all that. I love it. And I feel like it seems like when"},{"startTime":213.114,"endTime":216.882,"body":"people become parents that it's like, all right, I have a finite amount of"},{"startTime":216.906,"endTime":219.698,"body":"time, I really have to make it count. And it seems like that really kicks"},{"startTime":219.714,"endTime":223.272,"body":"people in the tush. I said on another podcast"},{"startTime":223.336,"endTime":227.112,"body":"interview that I did that like moms have the best time management and"},{"startTime":227.136,"endTime":230.664,"body":"we're always like, we never have enough time. And like we tell ourselves all of"},{"startTime":230.672,"endTime":234.28,"body":"these things that we're bad at, but no, we are the best of time. We"},{"startTime":234.32,"endTime":237.88,"body":"know we have very little time to do"},{"startTime":238.0,"endTime":241.592,"body":"certain things. It helps really figure out what our priorities"},{"startTime":241.656,"endTime":244.9,"body":"quickly. And so it changes everything."},{"startTime":245.36,"endTime":249.026,"body":"Yeah. And I find it very also very interesting. Another"},{"startTime":249.098,"endTime":252.482,"body":"friend that I had on the podcast, Sarah Light, we talked about time management and"},{"startTime":252.506,"endTime":256.29,"body":"productivity as well. And it was more about the lens of like SEO and"},{"startTime":256.33,"endTime":260.082,"body":"organizing, all of those things. And she's also a mom of"},{"startTime":260.186,"endTime":262.594,"body":"many, many children. I can't remember if it's like four or five, but there's a"},{"startTime":262.602,"endTime":265.538,"body":"lot of kids in her house too. So it's like you have to be just"},{"startTime":265.594,"endTime":269.17,"body":"so intentional with every second that you have. Yeah, it just makes life"},{"startTime":269.21,"endTime":272.994,"body":"easier, honestly. Yeah. So let's talk about"},{"startTime":273.162,"endTime":276.876,"body":"to do lists, because I have a few of those feel like it's constantly"},{"startTime":276.908,"endTime":280.492,"body":"evolving. And what I try to do, I don't know. I'll sacrifice myself just so"},{"startTime":280.516,"endTime":284.284,"body":"we can learn. Case study. Come on. So I have like a"},{"startTime":284.292,"endTime":287.164,"body":"brain dump that I try to do at least weekly. It doesn't always happen, but"},{"startTime":287.172,"endTime":290.78,"body":"I've tried to be like, more habitual about that. And I've even found it good"},{"startTime":290.82,"endTime":294.412,"body":"to, like, do stuff for the date the next day of like, okay, these things"},{"startTime":294.436,"endTime":296.812,"body":"are still living in my head. Let me get it out of my head. Not"},{"startTime":296.836,"endTime":300.588,"body":"perfect with it, but I'm finding that's helping. But I still have this, like, ever"},{"startTime":300.644,"endTime":304.156,"body":"growing to do list. And I do find that things"},{"startTime":304.228,"endTime":307.98,"body":"get knocked off, but not everything. So then I also find myself with"},{"startTime":308.02,"endTime":311.532,"body":"the, like, mental chatter of, you didn't do enough. What are you thinking?"},{"startTime":311.596,"endTime":315.292,"body":"Yeah, so I don't know. That is so common. You are not"},{"startTime":315.316,"endTime":318.876,"body":"alone. That happens all the time. And you saying that you don't complete"},{"startTime":318.908,"endTime":322.732,"body":"everything. Correct. You never will. That's the downside of"},{"startTime":322.756,"endTime":326.14,"body":"having a to do list, right? We take one thing off, but we add three"},{"startTime":326.18,"endTime":329.752,"body":"more things. So what I tell clients to do instead, instead"},{"startTime":329.816,"endTime":333.608,"body":"of a to do list. So your brain dump,"},{"startTime":333.704,"endTime":337.544,"body":"we want to do that weekly. However much you need to"},{"startTime":337.552,"endTime":340.504,"body":"do it. I say to do it because we need to get everything out of"},{"startTime":340.512,"endTime":343.352,"body":"your head. Especially if you're a mom and you're running a business and you have"},{"startTime":343.376,"endTime":346.712,"body":"all these other things, even if you're not a mom, whatever you have going on"},{"startTime":346.736,"endTime":350.472,"body":"in your life, we don't know the mental load that we are carrying. I did"},{"startTime":350.496,"endTime":353.112,"body":"a post just about this. It was like, you sit down to do work, and"},{"startTime":353.136,"endTime":355.774,"body":"then it's like, wait, did I turn that form in for school? What are we"},{"startTime":355.782,"endTime":359.102,"body":"going to do for dinner? Right? Like, the mental load. Even when you have a"},{"startTime":359.126,"endTime":362.862,"body":"super supportive partner, the mental load is still there, right? So having the"},{"startTime":362.886,"endTime":366.254,"body":"brain dump to get all of that out of your head is step one,"},{"startTime":366.342,"endTime":370.014,"body":"perfect. The second step, and where you might be kind of"},{"startTime":370.022,"endTime":373.838,"body":"veering into something we can improve on is using"},{"startTime":373.894,"endTime":377.742,"body":"that brain dump as your to do list. So that is what the brain dump,"},{"startTime":377.806,"endTime":381.392,"body":"then you're working off of. Okay, I need to do this, this, and this. So"},{"startTime":381.416,"endTime":385.232,"body":"what I suggest is actually just doing what I call"},{"startTime":385.256,"endTime":388.976,"body":"the rule of three, where you pick the top three priorities"},{"startTime":389.168,"endTime":392.848,"body":"that you want to get done that day and that's it. So"},{"startTime":392.984,"endTime":396.704,"body":"instead of working from one big list, we're actually intentionally"},{"startTime":396.752,"endTime":400.528,"body":"picking those three most important things out and then accomplishing those"},{"startTime":400.584,"endTime":404.352,"body":"each day. So it helps you Define what"},{"startTime":404.376,"endTime":407.968,"body":"is priority. And also asking yourself the question of"},{"startTime":408.024,"endTime":411.754,"body":"if this only got done today, it would feel like a productive"},{"startTime":411.802,"endTime":415.354,"body":"day and doing those three things. And it's funny because a lot of people"},{"startTime":415.442,"endTime":419.146,"body":"I know are probably yelling, listening to this, like, okay,"},{"startTime":419.178,"endTime":422.858,"body":"three things. Cool. I have way more than three things that need to get done."},{"startTime":422.914,"endTime":426.65,"body":"And that's totally fine. That's the point. Because once you learn to get the three"},{"startTime":426.69,"endTime":430.522,"body":"most important things done, then you can get the fourth thing done and"},{"startTime":430.546,"endTime":434.042,"body":"the fifth thing done. Right. But it's all about doing it in a very specific"},{"startTime":434.106,"endTime":437.802,"body":"order that will actually propel you forward and not just give you"},{"startTime":437.826,"endTime":441.362,"body":"those dopamine hits of the things that don't matter. But you want to get that"},{"startTime":441.386,"endTime":445.09,"body":"check off your list, right? You want to actually, like, mark it through."},{"startTime":445.21,"endTime":447.394,"body":"I know you have this worksheet and I can picture it in my mind, but"},{"startTime":447.402,"endTime":450.722,"body":"I think it's in your free community. And I dove into some things and then"},{"startTime":450.746,"endTime":453.89,"body":"I haven't had a chance to dive into everything that I want to. But. And"},{"startTime":453.93,"endTime":457.378,"body":"I saw the rule of three and I am really excited to go, like,"},{"startTime":457.434,"endTime":461.026,"body":"explore more. But I do remember seeing the rule of three. I was definitely"},{"startTime":461.058,"endTime":464.562,"body":"skeptical. I was like, all right, let me like, give this a shot. So in"},{"startTime":464.586,"endTime":467.948,"body":"the planner that I have, I have been doing the three things at the top."},{"startTime":468.004,"endTime":471.26,"body":"And so the fourth thing I do add in there is like workout or like"},{"startTime":471.3,"endTime":475.068,"body":"somatic exercises for me. Cause it's really helpful. But yes, we're on Wednesday,"},{"startTime":475.124,"endTime":477.98,"body":"but I've had a really good week where I'm like, I've been doing this over"},{"startTime":478.02,"endTime":481.292,"body":"the last few months, but I feel like I finally locked in and it's like"},{"speaker":"actually cranking and working and like, here we are, it's 2","startTime":481.316,"endTime":485.132,"body":"15 in the afternoon"},{"speaker":"actually cranking and working and like, here we are, it's 2","startTime":485.196,"endTime":488.924,"body":"for me right now.

Yeah. Because you go into"},{"speaker":"Like my goal is to actually be done with work like 3","startTime":496.05,"endTime":499.722,"body":"the day with a different mindset. Right. Instead of like, how many things can I"},{"speaker":"Like my goal is to actually be done with work like 3","startTime":499.746,"endTime":502.87,"body":"check off my list where probably a lot of it doesn't matter"},{"speaker":"Like my goal is to actually be done with work like 3","startTime":503.25,"endTime":506.874,"body":"versus I'm going to do the most impactful"},{"speaker":"Like my goal is to actually be done with work like 3","startTime":506.922,"endTime":510.714,"body":"things for my life or my business because I say to do it"},{"speaker":"Like my goal is to actually be done with work like 3","startTime":510.722,"endTime":514.49,"body":"all for one. You know, you are one being in work and in your"},{"speaker":"Like my goal is to actually be done with work like 3","startTime":514.53,"endTime":518.17,"body":"life.
