Let me be real — when I was starting my business while working a full-time 9–5, time management wasn’t a “productivity hack.” It was survival.


I had to counterbalance my life.

I’d leave work, come home, and go straight into my business. No time for anything else in that season — because I knew what I was building.


And the crazy part is… that season is what gave me more freedom later.


Even now in business, it’s still the same principle:

I spend time on the right tasks today so I can free up more time tomorrow.


In this episode, I talk about:

  • What time management really looks like when you’re building from zero
  • The “work → home → business” season (and why it’s normal)
  • Why priorities matter more than motivation
  • The tasks you must do now to buy your time back later
  • How time management becomes freedom if you stay consistent
