    Gems:

    • “The need for good time management that I learned in TV production, built my appreciation of lists.”
    • “How do you not only put the right things on your list, but that you also make time for things like self care?”
    • The second you write something down and get it out of your head your stress levels will begin to fall. You notice, ‘Oh I didn’t really have that much to do!’ “
    • “If you know what your priority is then you know instantly what you are going to say yes and no to.”
    • “The things that go on the list need to be very specific. You need to know that you have the resources and the time to accomplish the list.”
