The Power of Compartmentalizing Your Time and Projects
Welcome my friends to this week’s episode of Motivational Moments with Maria. As always, I am inspired, grateful and passionate about the work I do. Every day I wake up and always start the day with this one question: Who needs me on my A game today? When you are a servant leader and know what your purpose and passion is, it’s not work, it’s a calling—and I get to work at this incredible career.
Living your dream life isn’t just about the destination – it’s found in the work we do, the love we share and sometimes the laughter in the rain.
Let me start with a question for you today.
Ever finish a day feeling busy but strangely unfinished? I see you nodding your heads. Then what happens? You start to feel guilty that you didn’t get everything done and start spending late nights to catch up at the expense of your health—and all of this is the tax you pay for constant context switching.
If your brain feels like it has 27 tabs open and one of them is playing mystery music, you are not alone. Today, we’re going to give your mind a breather, your calendar a makeover, and your confidence a fresh coat of “Oh yes, I can.”
What compartmentalizing really means (and why your brain will thank you)
Think of compartmentalizing as giving your time little labeled containers—like Tupperware, but for your focus. You decide what goes in each container, when you open it, and what stays out. No more letting Deep Work sit next to Leftover Guilt.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
