Time management isn't sexy, but it might be the secret key to your happiness and well-being. Drawing from personal experience, I share how I evolved from an exhausted overachiever cramming impossible to-do lists into each day to someone who now guards her mornings and evenings zealously for what truly matters.
My journey reveals the hidden connection between time management and your solar plexus chakra—that energy center governing personal power and self-worth. When this energy is balanced, you can set boundaries, prioritize effectively, and finally kick guilt to the curb when saying "no" to commitments that don't serve you. True time management isn't about doing more; it's about creating peace of mind by aligning your schedule with your authentic priorities.
Remember when you felt you had to prove your worth through constant productivity? I spent decades believing I needed to "catch up" with my peers, overloading my days until I was cranky, exhausted, and still berating myself for not completing everything. It wasn't until my 50s that I recognized how this pattern drained my joy and vitality. Now at 61, my priorities are crystal clear: my husband, my kids, my family, friends, and yes—my self-care.
The Solar Plexus Approach to Time Management I share includes practical techniques like starting each day with intention rather than dread, breaking projects into manageable pieces, delegating effectively, practicing mindfulness while working, and celebrating even small wins. These practices build confidence and maintain inner balance rather than depleting it. Ready to transform your relationship with time? Subscribe to receive the companion PDF with detailed exercises to implement these principles in your life. Your calendar is waiting to be owned like a boss.
