209 // Manage Your Time with Purpose - with Anna Dearmon Kornick from It’s About Time Podcast


Listen Later

So many of us feel like we’re always behind, convinced that the right planner or app will finally fix our schedules. But as Anna Dearmon Kornick - time management coach, author of Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy, and Productivity , and host of the It’s About Time podcast - explains, true time management doesn’t start with hacks. It starts with clarity on what matters most.

In this conversation, Anna and I dive into productivity pitfalls, the myth of multitasking, and practical tools like time blocking, creating an ideal week, and simple weekly planning sessions. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or like your priorities are slipping through the cracks, this episode is packed with encouragement and strategies to help you manage your time with purpose.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why purpose — rooted in your vision and values — is the foundation of time management
  • How time blocking helps combat Parkinson’s Law, the planning fallacy, and context switching
  • Why creating an “ideal week” matters more than aiming for a “perfect day”
  • Five essential routines that support a well-managed life
  • A step-by-step approach to weekly planning — even when you’re overwhelmed
  • More about Anna:


    A true Louisiana firecracker who has become known for making time management fun, Anna helps busy professionals and business owners struggling with overwhelm manage their time using her personality-driven HEART Method.
