Ep 313The Surprising Excuses That are Secretly Stealing Your Time
What if the biggest thing sabotaging your time isn't your time management skills but the story you keep telling yourself about who you are? In this episode, I unpack the surprising excuses that are secretly stealing your time. From perfectionism and people pleasing to being "Type A," a hard worker, or a multitasker, I explore how the patterns you repeat can quietly shape your schedule. I share where these tendencies come from, why they once worked, and how they may be keeping you stuck today. If your calendar feels heavier than it should or you keep repeating the same time habits no matter how many planners or productivity tools you try, this conversation will help you rethink what's really driving your time.
