In This Episode:



* Why financial behaviorist Jacquette Timmons is more interested in finding the right blend that finding a balance between work and life* How she approaches the way she engages with work to stave off burnout* Why rest is part of the work she does* How the structure of a business contributes to whether we’re able to find the right blend for ourselves



Reminder, this month, Tara is taking a break from hosting and handing the mic over to her husband & business partner, Sean McMullin:





I have a confession, dear listener.



I was once late to the start of a group coaching call because I was… taking a nap.



Through some combination of oversight and calendar failure, I missed that I had a call that I needed to be on until Tara woke me up!



So embarrassing.



And while I’m committed to making sure that never happens again, I’m equally committed to continuing to take naps in the middle of the day. Taking a nap in the middle of the day is one thing I’ve done to find the right blend of work, rest, and recharging that works for me.



It’s a small way that I take a break almost every day.



At different times in my journey with YellowHouse.Media, I’ve been overwhelmed and overworked. It felt like there were never enough hours in the day or days in the week. And that is not okay with me.



So I started to make changes. I changed the time I got started in the morning, I changed the project management tool we use, and I changed how I interacted with clients.



Soon enough, I wasn’t just feeling less overwhelmed and overworked. I had time for a nap! I also had time to take breaks periodically throughout the day to work on my art.



Solid systems, strong client relationships, naps, and art is the perfect blend for my day.



You probably have your own ideal blend for how you spend your time—whether working or otherwise. Maybe you save working on your big projects until after 10pm. Maybe you take 1 week off per quarter. Maybe you don’t schedule calls on Mondays or Tuesdays.



And if you don’t have found the right blend for you yet, now is the perfect time to think about what it might be and start experimenting you way to it.



Today, I have a conversation with one of my oldest business friends for you on exactly this subject.



Jacquette Timmons is speaker, coach, and financial behaviorist who helps people make human choices with their money.



I wanted to find out what taking a break and taking care of herself meant to her. And eventually the conversation got to this topic of finding the right blend—so that whether you’re working, resting, exercising, eating, or exploring your other interests, you feel satisfied and fulfilled with the way you’re spending your time.



Now, let’s find out what works for Jacquette Timmons!
