In this solo episode of Tea with Jules, Jules gets real about the chaos of modern life, 35-page to-do lists, and why multitasking is quietly frying our brains. She shares the small, science-backed habits that have completely reshaped her days – from becoming a 5:30 am morning person (yes, really) to breaking the chips-and-Netflix cycle at night.

This is a gentle, practical pep talk for anyone who feels busy, scattered, time-poor, and wants to feel calmer, clearer, and more on top of life without doing a full personality transplant overnight.

In This Episode, We Chat About

• Why up to 40% of your day runs on autopilot – and how to make that work for you, not against you
• The difference between “good” and “bad” habits (and why your brain doesn’t know the difference)
• How Jules accidentally trained herself to wake up naturally at 5:35 am
• The chips-and-Netflix habit she had to lovingly retire
• Why our to-do lists are actually wish lists and why we only ever tick off a few things
• What “attention residue” is and how multitasking makes us feel more stressed and less productive 
• How to start designing your environment so it quietly supports the life you actually want
• The simple mindset shift that can turn mornings from frantic to doable
