S3 Ep04 - Mindful Time Management


Listen Later

For many, time management is about squeezing in as much as possible, often leading to stress and burnout. But what if we could approach it as a practice of presence rather than productivity—one that aligns with our values and helps us create meaningful impact?

In this episode, we explore mindful time management, a Zen-inspired approach that focuses on creating impact rather than simply doing more. I discuss the power of single-tasking, the importance of showing up on time, and how structuring your day can help you stay committed and focused. Through personal stories and Zen teachings, I dive into how we can shift our relationship with time and learn to be fully present in our commitments.

Tune in to uncover how a mindful approach to time management can bring clarity, purpose, and a deeper sense of fulfillment to your daily life.
