In the span of your day, how often do you get sidetracked by the unexpected?

You’re super focused on a work project, and then wham!! An attention-grabbing subject line lands in your inbox and, well, it’ll just take a minute. Or you’re watching your kid’s basketball game and your pocket vibrates. Curiosity gets the better of you and before you know it, you’re swept into a work issue that pulls your attention away from the court.

Those “little” things that interrupt our days and our thought processes can often completely take over our plans.

Having a solid and supported system in place to face those distractions head-on is the only way to regain autonomy over your time. 

This week, Karlee helps you discover a way to hone your focus and dial in your discernment so you can decipher when it's necessary to change plans or simply say “no, thank you”. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how to reframe the distractions you come up against in your work and personal life so that you can prioritize what matters most. You’ll learn how to keep control of the wheel and not be led off course, especially when the unexpected doesn’t support you in the direction you want to go. And you’ll learn how to build a plan that binds you to your best choices. 

If you’re ready to stop feeling pulled and start making choices that support who you want to be and where you want to go,  this is the episode for you.
