Have you ever felt like there's never enough time—only to realise you've been managing the wrong thing entirely?

In this episode, Hazel Ann breaks down why time management feels impossible and reveals the game-changing shift that transformed her productivity: stop managing time, start managing energy.

We dive deep into the psychology behind why your brain sabotages your schedule, the science of procrastination, and practical strategies that actually work with your brain instead of against it.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why you constantly underestimate how long tasks take (and how to fix it)
• The neuroscience behind why unfinished tasks haunt you at 2 AM
• How ADHD brains process time differently—and strategies that help
• The Eisenhower Matrix simplified: urgent vs. important tasks
• Why multitasking is actually destroying your productivity
• Evidence-based strategies: from micro-steps to body doubling
• Why procrastination is an emotional regulation issue, not a time management one

✨ Time is finite. Energy is renewable

✨ You're not bad at time management—you're using a broken system

✨ Working smarter (aligned to your values) > working longer ✨ Your time struggles aren't a character flaw, they're a design flaw
