We can learn lessons from all areas of our lives. The connections you can make from your hobbies, personal lives, and travels can make a big impact with your productivity and how you create a better work-life balance. These lessons that we learn are often caused when we have a big undertaking and need to adapt (e.g. getting married, having kids, starting a big project). When you make the choice to begin these tasks, you have to find ways to make everything else work and feel balanced (if that is even possible). 

This is the exact thing that happened to us when we worked to create this podcast. We made sacrifices in the beginning and we had to learn the systems and routines that would help us keep our sanity. We learned so much from starting our podcast, and while we are not telling you to head out and start you own podcast (more power to you if you do!), we do want to share some of the biggest lessons we learned. 

In this episode you will hear:

• How defining what is important will help you in creating a path to make it happen!

EPISODE MENTIONED:

• Episode 149. Behind the Scenes: Our Favorite Reminders to Overcome Obstacles
