What if the real reason you're struggling to manage your time isn’t your calendar, or your to-do list, or your never-ending sticky notes, but what you believe about yourself?
And the fact that you don't have a system for time management?
In this episode, I share the truth behind why saying things like “I’m terrible at time management” keeps you stuck… and what to do instead.
Spoiler: We’re flipping that narrative today and rewiring your brain to believe you are extremely good at time management.
I’ll also walk you through my signature SPACE organizing method (yes, the same one I use for your closet) and show you exactly how to use it for your time.
That means sorting your tasks, purging them (get ready for the 4 D’s), assigning them a home, and finally building a container that energizes you to follow through.
If your calendar looks like a battlefield, this episode is your new system, mindset, and strategy all in one.
You’ll learn:
-
The one belief that’s sabotaging your time management (and how to flip it fast)
-
How to use the SPACE method to organize your calendar like you do your closet or your kitchen
-
What to do before you open your planner or calendar
-
Why batching, time blocks, and categories simplify everything
-
The “delay bucket” trick that stops idea overload
-
How containment creates clarity, calm, and structure for your brain

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.
