Are you making time management harder than it needs to be?

If your calendar looks like a cluttered junk drawer, jammed full of urgent to-dos and last-minute chaos, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Anna Dearman Kornick, time management coach and author of Time Management Essentials, to unpack how to actually manage your time in a way that feels aligned, flexible, and realistic.

Anna's background is fascinating: from orchestrating a US Congressman’s minute-by-minute schedule (even his wife had to book time with her!) to guiding universities through PR disasters—she's the queen of managing chaos.

Today, she helps ambitious professionals like you figure out how to run your schedule on your terms, instead of feeling like you’re always behind.

We cover everything from navigating overwhelm to creating an “ideal week” that prioritizes what matters most, without the guilt trip.

Get ready to shift your mindset around time management, learn how to build routines that actually work for you, and finally stop letting all the pebbles crowd out your big rocks.

Why your calendar might look organized but still be a total disaster (and how to fix it)
