Simplify with Amanda B

In this episode, I share the empowering concept of “test and find out”—a practical approach I use to overcome analysis paralysis and move beyond indecision. I’ll walk you through how setting time-bound parameters allows you to make confident choices, let go of perfectionism, and reduce the pressure of getting it “right.”

You’ll hear real stories from my own life and my work with clients, as I show how experimenting with routines, habits, and even big decisions has brought more clarity and confidence. I encourage you to give yourself permission to try new things, knowing that nothing is permanent—and that it’s okay to observe what works and what doesn’t without judgment.

Ready to break free from indecision? Pick something you’ve been overthinking, test it out for a set period, and see what happens! I’d love to hear about your experience—DM me on Instagram.

I offer my favorite practical tips—from choosing my top priorities for the day, simplifying routines, and setting boundaries with distractions, to fiercely protecting family time.

In this episode, I share how putting everything on your calendar—even the smallest tasks—can transform your productivity and peace of mind. I talk about my own journey with calendar blocking, why it’s so effective, and how it helps reduce decision fatigue and overwhelm. You’ll hear practical tips for scheduling everything from work projects and family time to errands and rest, plus why building in buffer time is essential.

In this episode, I’m sharing my favorite productivity tip: the 30-minute catch all block. As a mom and business owner, I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle constant inputs and endless micro-tasks. That’s why I schedule one or two dedicated 30-minute blocks each day—midday and/or at the end of the day—to batch tasks like replying to emails, returning messages, and handling admin work. 

This simple shift has helped me reduce task switching, clear mental clutter, and protect my focus time for deep work. I use my digital calendar to make these blocks non-negotiable, so I can stay in control and be less reactive throughout the day. If you’re looking for more clarity, calm, and productivity, try adding a catch all block to your routine. Plus, if you haven’t already, check out my free training on the habits and routines that help me balance business and motherhood here.
