028: Your Task List Is No Good! Says Megan Sumrell + Why Harmony Is Better Than Balance
Manage episode 424760895 series 3541274
I actually HUGGED my to-do lists, all of them, during this interview!
My guest Megan Sumrell warned me that she was going to tell me task lists are no good. I added that to my list. ;)
If you’ve ever felt like you have too much to do, too many demands on your time, or like you’re bound to that to-do list, this episode is for you!
We discuss:
- Why traditional time management systems often fail to address the emotional and mental load
- The difference between task lists and plans
- The challenge of estimating how long something will take (spoiler: I’m terrible at this!)
- Why that time right after school deserves to be called “running the gauntlet” and how to reduce anxiety about that time of day
- Whether tech is a help or a hindrance to productivity
- Some incredible tips for building routines with your little ones and teaching tweens and teens how to begin to manage their own time effectively
- The connection between time management and a financial budget
- Why you shouldn’t feel guilty for “not being on top of everything”
I learned a lot about myself and why I sabotage my own to-do lists even as I cling to them, and I hope you get to introspect as well!!
