Time Isn’t the Problem (It’s the System)


Listen Later

We’ve all heard it before: “You just need better time management.”

But here’s the truth—time isn’t the problem. The system is.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the myth that discipline or the perfect planner will “fix” your time struggles. If you’ve ever felt like you’re always behind, stuck in a cycle of shame, or frustrated that you can’t keep up with traditional time advice, this one’s for you.

We’ll explore:

✅ What we’re taught about time—and why it doesn’t work for every brain

✅ Why planners and productivity hacks fail (and why it’s not your fault)

✅ What “enough time” really means when your life asks too much of you

✅ The internet time tips that make me cringe

✅ Gentle, realistic shifts to make time feel more spacious

This is not about hustling harder. It’s about creating a system that actually fits your energy, your capacity, and your life.
