In today's episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about when you should complete certain tasks. There are low and high-energy times of the day for everyone. Consider completing the harder tasks during a time when you are inspired, thriving, and focused. The opposite, then, is true for the easier tasks. Complete these tasks when you have the least amount of energy. Check out today's episode for all of the details!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:25 – It's okay to do the easy things that bring you joy! Not all of your work has to be hard!

0:31 – Today's topic is: Do The Easy Tasks

0:55 – Listen to past episodes on the "Power Hour!"

1:05 – There are other times of the day where people are least productive. My least productive time is around 2:00 P.M. This is the time that I will NOT schedule things that drain my energy. I want to be super focused on my high priority tasks, so I complete those during my power hour!

1:51 – In the morning, during my power hour, I WANT to do the easy things but I MUST complete the tasks that are energy consuming!

2:21 – Get the Made To Thrive Planner!

2:37 – Give yourself a reward after you have completed a non-favorite task.

3:15 – When is it best for you to complete the easy tasks? Perhaps complete the less-complicated tasks during a low-energy time of the day for you. I would finish your harder tasks during a time when you are the most productive. This way you have the adequate energy to knock-it-out-of-the-park!

In today's episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about you working on yourself! As you are improving yourself, there might come a time when the people in your life don't jump onboard. Don't worry! This has nothing to do with you and your choices. You are working towards your big goals and Kim advises that you focus on just that. The people in your life may feel reluctant to the changes, because they didn't ask for change. Don't judge or nag them, just let them be. When they see how the positive change in your life is making you more joyful, then it will be contagious and they may hop on board, too!

0:21 – Welcome!

0:25 – Today's Topic: What To Do If They Won't Change With You?

0:30 – You are setting new to-do lists and this can cause a lot of flack with the different people in your life. Maybe the people in your life weren't ready for this change.

1:09 – Just like brand new Christians who have a passion to tell others about their new faith!

1:26 – I have a strong Christian faith. When you are in the mountaintop experience not everyone will jump onboard.

1:56 – They didn't ask for the change. If they come to you with negative commentary it's not about you, it's their own insecurities.

2:29 – Like when going to dinner and someone orders a huge cheesecake. But! If you don't order it, too, then they question your order choice of ordering a salad instead.

3:23 – We are normalized when everyone is acting the same.

3:39 – You are just having a salad?! It has nothing to do with you, if they make such a comment.

3:56 – It's not your job to change them, but your job is to show them love!

4:25 – What do you do instead? Work on a positive mindset.

4:35 – Kim walks you through the dinner experience at a restaurant. Your order is: sparkling water, and a chicken salad. If your spouse asks you "why" you just say, "this makes me feel good." You can continue saying, "I like being with you, but this is my food order choice tonight." There is no judgment there, but you are stating what works well for you.

5:50 – What you can do is work on yourself. By you working on YOU, they will see the joy and health that you have, and they might want the same for themselves, too!

6:54 – Be an inspiration, not a nag. Make people want what YOU have! This way they are making their own choice and you aren't forcing them to change with you.

In today's episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about getting advice from the right people. Talk to people who have walked the walk that you are pursuing.

0:21 – Welcome!

0:27 – Who do you listen to? Everyone has an opinion, but should you take their advice? Check it out! Take advice from people that you'd want to change places with. If a person's life is a hot mess, why would you want to hear their advice?

1:14 – The same goes for running a business.

1:34 – We can seek feedback, but only get advice from the people who you'd want to change places with.

1:43 – Another example! When you want to get advice, get the advice from someone who has ACTUALLY done the thing that you want to accomplish. This will save you tons of time. They were the ones who figured out how to succeed, so take their advice.

3:08 – I have single, married, divorced friends. I talk to them about my life, but I am not going to talk to my best friend who is single about raising kids. I will talk to my mom who is married and has raised her children in a wonderful way.

3:56 – Think about "who" you are getting advice from. This is so important.

4:02 – You, my friend, were made to thrive!

In today's episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about standing yourself up for a date that you've made with YOU! How many of you have a flaky friend who misses their appointments, and lunch dates with you? After a few times, you stop making plans with said friend, because it's annoying and a hassle on your schedule.

2:17 – There is this concept of the flaky friend.
