Experimenting with a New Schedule: My Top 3 Foolproof Tips for Time & Energy Management – Shamelessly Ambitious Episode 140

Filed in All Episodes, Business Strategy, Collapsing Time, Leadership Development, Motherhood, Unconventional Living — June 25, 2024

I can’t lie, this first month of nomadic living has been a massive transition. 😮‍💨🫠🔄 The way we chose to do things in terms of work & children this time is much different than when we previously lived as nomads. My husband is keeping his full-time job which falls during regular work hours — this means my schedule is undergoing great change. We’re currently in our “trial period” of this new schedule and I’m finding what works & what doesn’t. My saving grace has been remembering to implement these 3 foolproof tips for time & energy management.

Oh && hot take: I believe energy management is much more important than time management. ⬇️⬇️

THE JUICY HIGHLIGHTS:

• Realizing how much “better” of a mom I am as nomads versus regular life
• How my health journey is going
• Experimenting with new & different parts of our schedule
• The three tangible tips you can implement to become a pro at time & energy management
