AGRIMINDS: Personal & Professional Development In Agriculture

217 Time Mastery: When Life Doesn’t Follow the Plan with Alex Lowery


Listen Later

Time management can feel like a moving target… especially in agriculture and rural life.

Some seasons are full throttle. Some are heavy. Some require a pivot you didn’t plan for. And even when you do plan, life still shows up—kids get sick, schedules get messy, equipment breaks, family needs change, and suddenly you’re just trying to keep up.

In this episode, Kacee sits down with Alex Lowery (founder of Lowery & Company and Rural Change Makers Co—and an upcoming AGRIMINDS Summit speaker) to talk about time mastery, prioritization, and finding margin in the middle.

This isn’t a “perfect schedule” conversation. It’s real life—how to be intentional with your time without turning your entire life into a to-do list.

You’ll hear:

  • Why activity doesn’t equal productivity (and how that mindset shift changes everything)
  • The difference between time management vs. time mastery—and why the language matters
  • How to navigate the tension between rest vs. productivity without guilt
  • Why “quiet time” can be restorative… and why it can also feel uncomfortable for some
  • How priorities shift in different seasons: parenting, caregiving, business cycles, and ag life
  • The power of awareness + check-ins to realign before you hit burnout
  • What Alex is bringing to the AGRIMINDS Summit: part story, part workshop, with practical tools you can actually use

This conversation is honest, practical, and rooted in real rural life—where responsibility is high, seasons change fast, and “balance” is rarely a clean formula. If you’ve been craving more clarity, more margin, or a better way to approach your time… this one is for you.
