In this episode of The Time Management Podcast, we meet Ru-tee Block, a menopause fitness coach who shares how the Find Your Missing Hour 7-day Time Audit Challenge completely transformed her approach to time management, energy management, and self-care. Living in Costa Rica with the unpredictability of sloths crossing the road, power outages, and life in the jungle, Ru-tee discovered how a personalised Time Management plan that accounted for her ADHD and dyslexia could create freedom, balance and joy. She also opens up about the unique challenges of menopause, why multitasking is draining, and how discipline in time management became the ultimate act of self-love. “Small changes made a big difference. The Find Your Missing Hour 7-Day Challenge has been a total game changer for me.” Ru-tee Block What you’ll learn in this episode: How a 7-day time audit revealed leaks in Ru-tee’s schedule Shifting from vague to-do lists to structured, scheduled days Why creating buffer time is essential for life’s unpredictability How multitasking drains energy during menopause Tailoring productivity systems to suit ADHD and dyslexia Why time audits are acts of self-love and discipline The myth of “no time” and how it damages health and joy 5 Ways the Find Your Missing Hour 7-Day Challenge made Ru-tee more Productive: From lists to structure – She stopped relying on vague to-do lists and began scheduling tasks into specific time slots.
