The Bright Method Podcast: Realistic Time Management for Working Women & Working Moms Kelly Nolan

American culture is fixated on DOING – and those of us in it struggle to stop the doing to plan and prioritize. This quote caught my attention on that front: “You waste years by not being able to waste hours." The quote is by Amos Tversky and doesn't relate to planning, but it made me think that we do risk wasting weeks, months, and years by not planning and prioritizing where we want to go. Busyness without direction doesn't always get us where we want to go. 
Let's discuss – and walk through what this means from a practical perspective.

I personally find it fascinating to hear what people are saying "no" to and why. In addition, hearing examples helps normalize saying no and sparks ideas for what others might say no to – all of which helps us manage our workload and life so that we have energy and time for the things we decide are most important to us.
So, here's an example from my own life: How and why I decided to say no to speaking engagements for the rest of 2024.
