We all know we can’t live outside our financial means, right? But have you ever stopped to consider that the same is true for your time?

In this episode, I’m introducing the concept of living outside your time means—a sneaky trap that leads so many women to believe they have a time management problem, when really… It’s just a math issue. You’re trying to fit more into your days and weeks than they can actually hold. And no amount of productivity hacks or color-coded calendars can fix that.

I’ll show you how to recognize when you’ve hit that limit, and walk you through three simple but powerful steps to get back within your time means—so you can stop overcommitting, start planning realistically, and actually feel in control of your week.

This episode is your permission slip to stop trying to “make it all fit” and start planning in a way that reflects your real life—and your real capacity.

In This Episode, We’ll Explore:

• Why the problem isn’t you—it’s the math
• How to figure out your true time “budget” each week
• What to do when your task list doesn’t fit your available time
• Three key filters to help you decide what doesn’t make the cut (without guilt)
