You start your day with a color-coded calendar—and end it wondering why the whole thing fell apart by lunch. Meetings run long, kids need you, and suddenly your perfectly blocked schedule looks like a Jenga tower.
In this episode of Ditch the Chaos, we’re breaking down simple time management tips that actually work—specifically, why task batching beats time blocking for busy women who need systems that flex with real life.
You’ll learn:
- Why time blocking collapses under the chaos of real life
- How task batching saves energy and cuts context switching
- What “shifting a batch” really looks like when life interrupts
- How theme days protect your focus and energy
- Real-life examples of batching at work and at home
These lessons come straight from what I teach in Chaos Detox—because productivity doesn’t start with planners. It starts with methods that work with your life.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
