For many, time management is about squeezing in as much as possible, often leading to stress and burnout. But what if we could approach it as a practice of presence rather than productivity—one that aligns with our values and helps us create meaningful impact?
In this episode, we explore mindful time management, a Zen-inspired approach that focuses on creating impact rather than simply doing more. I discuss the power of single-tasking, the importance of showing up on time, and how structuring your day can help you stay committed and focused. Through personal stories and Zen teachings, I dive into how we can shift our relationship with time and learn to be fully present in our commitments.
Tune in to uncover how a mindful approach to time management can bring clarity, purpose, and a deeper sense of fulfillment to your daily life.
