Show Description:

Amy and Angelyn tackle the well-intentioned but problematic advice to "just make time" for everything. They explore why this common phrase creates unnecessary pressure and ignores the reality that while we all have the same 24 hours, we don't all have the same capacity, resources, or circumstances.

Key Topics Covered

• Why the "make time" mindset creates guilt and unrealistic expectations
• The difference between time management and capacity management
• How to recognize and honor your changing daily capacity
• The role of "shoulds" in creating unnecessary pressure
• Practical strategies for prioritizing based on values rather than external expectations

Notable Quotes

"We all have the same 24 hours, but we don't all have the same opportunities to do certain things every day. We all just don't have the same capacity to do everything the same way every day." - Amy

"None of this is about making your time. It's not about you being really poor with your time management. It's really just about honoring your needs and your capacity." - Amy

"The phrase that drives me crazy is when people tell me that I have the same amount of time or when people tell themselves, like they have the same amount of hours in the day as Beyoncé. Like, okay, but Beyoncé has a whole lot more resources than I do." - Angelyn

Key Takeaways

• Recognize that capacity fluctuates daily and seasonally
• Create a "parking lot" for ideas and requests that aren't urgent
• Connect tasks to your values to help prioritize what truly matters
• Practice saying "I don't have the capacity for that right now"
• Understand that not everything needs your immediate attention
