#207: Are Your Kids Overscheduled & Too Busy? Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

Now that my son is 8 years old and in 2nd grade, my husband and I are starting to experience the complicated balancing act that comes with managing after-school activities, sports, music lessons, homework, and play dates.

Now, keep in mind we have only one child, but most of our friends have multiple kids. And I can only imagine how crazy busy life can be for them trying to squeeze everything in.

When do you know if your kids are TOO busy? And the real question is, how do you find a good balance?

A while back, a listener sent me a message that brought up this hot topic idea... and I definitely have a few thoughts about it.

As a working mom with a young child I know just how hard it can be to find opportunities to connect with your kids. Especially during seasons in life when you feel crazy busy.

#205: Busy vs. Productive (And How To Make The Shift) Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

When you're scheduling your day, when you're writing your to-do list, when you're crossing stuff off that list, when you running around like a chicken with your head cut off, are you in fact just being busy? Or are you actually being productive.

For today's episode of Life Made Simple, we look at the difference between being busy and being productive.

I also offer you a new way to view your time and how you spend it. I then offer you some actionable tips on how to make the shift from being inadvertently too busy to being intentionally productive.

Just a little warning: I say the word "priorities" A LOT during the episode... because *spoiler* it's definitely a big factor.

#204: Are You Too Busy? Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

I want to ask you a very important question... are you "too busy"?

Unfortunately, if you don't even notice that you're too busy, then it reaches a tipping point and everything feels like it's spiraling out of control.

The trick is to recognize the signs of being too busy before it gets to that point.

On today's episode, I offer you a self-assessment to help you notice the 7 signs of being way too busy.
