    89. When You Feel Resistance to Calendaring Your Activities, Projects, etc.

    Often, women I work with or talk to online share that, while they want to use the Bright Method, they resist implementation because of, what I can see, two buckets of very understandable reasons: They want to understand what the end result looks like before they start and they can't see it right now, and/or They know on some level that they have too much work for their available capacity, and there's part of them that doesn't want to really see it and the have to make tough calls and have tough conversations to deal with it.  Both make total sense. So, let's talk about them more. Resources mentioned: Episode on calendaring your current reality first – and then calendaring in the more aspirational things you're trying to do: Episode 25 (one of my favorites!) "How I Structure My Day" series on Instagram Data Privacy Specialist Associate Dean of a Medical School Chief of Staff at a Tech Company College Professor with older kids with after-school sports.

    88. An Example of a Work Flow: Personal Travel

    So often, we calendar a deadline or an event and think either there's not much that goes into it or we'll just remember what do to for it. But when you actually write down everything that goes into it, it's a surprising lot of stuff, takes up more time than we realize, and the sheer volume of things explains why we forget to do some of it every time.  Let's talk workflows, their benefits, how to do them (simplicity is great!), and walk through an example relating to personal travel.  Resources mentioned: The travel checklist: https://kellynolan.com/travel-checklist  The work travel podcast episode: ep. 46 The article about how to check out of work for a vacation: https://kellynolan.com/vacation/ (please see the publish date – always cracks me up) A full transcript of this episode is available on my website about two weeks after the episode is published.

    87. The Power of the Long-Term Play (vs. Getting Hung Up On Short-Term Timelines)

    This is definitely not my most articulate, succinct podcast, but I think there's something here that's worth sharing – and it'll continue to evolve. The older I get, the more I see the value of shirking American culture's "quick results now"/focus on short-term time horizons and focusing on the long game. Let's talk about it, and I'd love to hear what you think! And as I mention at the end, if you'd like my travel checklist of things to calendar for each personal trip you take, you can get your copy here. Hope it's helpful!

    86. How to Handle Surprise 15-Min Windows at Work – And Time Management Tips of Physicians

    So often, when we get free 15-minute windows we didn't anticipate during work hours, we spend too much time deciding what to do and/or fritter them away on stuff that doesn't matter (cough*social media*cough). But these small windows of time add up, and using them effectively can help you leave work earlier and feel more accomplished. Let's talk about how to do that.  This episode also spends some time focusing on time management strategies for phsycians in a related context. Enjoy – and share with a physician in your life!
