In this podcast, we focus on INTENTIONAL MARGINS® and how to incorporate them into our lives. Today, we are revisiting these concepts as a reminder! 

Transcript:

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and today we are talking about my concept INTENTIONAL MARGINS®.  

INTENTIONAL MARGINS® is finding the buffer of space and time to create harmony between our todos and our priorities.  

Do you ever feel like you are running on that hamster wheel of todos and afraid to jump off for fear that everything will crumble?  You’re overwhelmed and can’t see the vision and all you want is some clarity.  Yeah, me too!  Or at least that was me, before I started getting super consistent with my Margins.  The space and time in the day, that wasn’t a crisis or a “have to”. 

Now, you might be thinking, I don’t have any margin, I go non-stop all day.

But let’s unpack this.  If you look at your calendar you might have some commute time to work or running kids to and from.  You might have an appointment or an important conference call or meeting.  Perhaps, you have a job, like my sister, who is a nurse, and she’s working all day with basically no break.  

Whatever that looks like for you.  I encourage you to take a traditional week and put all of that in your calendar.  All of the time that is already accounted for.  Then, put your sleep times into the calendar.  If you're an overachiever, put in the calendar the dinner making and cleaning up time too. 

Tomorrow we’ll talk about what’s left on that calendar.  In the meantime, let’s connect on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie  and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram
