Episode #29 Plan the week, adapt the day

Just because you can’t control everything in your day, doesn’t mean you can’t control anything.

In this episode I explore the thoughts we like to believe about time and how little control we have over it.

I explain how thinking you have no control is the reason why you have so little control.

You’ll discover:

👉🏾 5 common thought errors that are keeping you stuck and making you feel powerless.

👉🏾 7 actions you’re NOT taking because you feel powerless

👉🏾 A simple 3 part framework for thinking about your tasks and planning them into your schedule so you feel more in control and can lawyer with more ease.
