Show Notes

Today's Discussion
• Finding Pockets
• Stop reinventing the wheel
• Getting started

Finding Pockets
HOW to find time for the things you want to do.
(internal demands-or the little bits of sand).
This is how I want people to find time for Daily pages

Stop reinventing the wheel
Find things that work for you; stick with them.
This leads to less decision fatigue, and more time for creativity in places that matter more to you.

Getting started
Getting started can be the worst.

Here are several ways to try to make it work for you:

Think about your priorities
start w/ the easy stuff
use your best energy on the hardest stuff
Give yourself a deadline
start somewhere

Try This:

sort your tasks
honor your time zones
set a timer
