03/09/21 • 34 min
Guess what? You can’t do it all at once, and if you’re trying, then you’re probably not doing any of it well. This episode is all about time management. Sarah explains why multi-tasking is not something you should aspire to be good at, and goes deeper into the importance of focus—for all of us, but with special attention to “late people.” Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s a loved one, but you know the type: someone who thinks they can’t be on time because it’s just not in their nature. Bullsh*t! Being late is not something you have to live with. (Or make other people live with...) You can stop making excuses and start being on time to meetings, dates, dinners, and appointments with one easy, effective strategy that Sarah serves up in this week’s episode.
Today’s topics:
•Why “late people” are full of sh*t
•The myth of multi-tasking
•Reminder on GYST Theory: FOCUS
•The secret to never being late again
•Weekly NFG tip: “Distance yourself from distraction!”

6. Just F*cking Focus! (The Must-Do List Will Change Your Life)
This week’s episode begins with a story about the time Sarah Knight filled a cat litter box with sand and hid it under her desk at a fancy Manhattan office building so she could stick her feet in it and pretend she was at the beach. What the f*ck does that have to do with anything? Good question! This week’s focus is on prioritizing—not only the sh*t you have to do, but also the sh*t you want to do, including “me-time” and recreational activities. Sarah’s Must-Do Method is a life hack that will help you manage your day-to-day tasks much better, get your self-care in, still be able to procrastinate (responsibly!), and ultimately avoid the overwhelming burnout that caused her to turn to a litter box for comfort.
Today’s topics:
•Prioritizing by urgency
•Responsible procrastination
•How your to-do list is is hurting you
•Turning your to-do list into a MUST-do list
•The importance of “me-time”
•Weekly NFG tip: “You’ve got to lobby for your hobby!”
