Oh yeah. We’re going there. And we’re going to be VERY real about our own approaches to all things related to time management, multi-tasking, prioritizing, scheduling, and the juggling act of all of it. No one has it ALL figured out, but we sure as heck are happy to share what works for us, and even where we’re personally struggling.We invite you to be a part of this incredible community by following us on Instagram — @CultivateAGoodLife.

Picture of my to-do list. Forever and always, my notebooks of choice are THESE Simple Notebooks.
Main points we discussed re: time management (Again, keep in mind that these will all make more sense and be much more meaningful when you've listened to the episode.)
1) Multitasking
2) Batching your time
3) Brain dumping
Again ... the best notebooks on the planet can be found here.
4) Put your priorities in writing.
Link to my video about how I keep track of my lists and to-dos and basically brain dump and organize my priorities every single day.

5) Big rocks first.
6) Follow the energy.
7) Make decisions ahead of time.

8) Get it scheduled / put it on the calendar.

9) Music for motivation.
10) Know when to quit. Take intentional breaks.
11) Figure out what other people can do / what you can pass off.
I mentioned "Highs, Lows, and I-Don't-Knows," inspired by a podcast called Light the Fight.
Becky Proudfit mentioned @NothingDownAboutIt on Instagram.
12) Embrace the times and seasons. The goal is always the same, but the way we accomplish those things will change and evolve.
13) Step back and truly assess the juggle.
14) Go easy on yourself.
