Ever wondered why you're constantly battling the clock, despite having a well-managed schedule? Well, we sat down with Alejandra Marqués - a productivity and business specialist, strategist, best-selling author, and international speaker to gain her insights about not just managing, but owning your time. Alejandra unpacks her unique, flexible, and personalized time protocol, showing us how to maximize productivity and achieve that elusive work-life balance by truly owning our time.

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:
As Alejandra points out, owning your time also means developing a mindset, where you're in control, not the clock. She shares tips on breaking free from damaging multitasking habits, embracing the Pomodoro method, and limiting your to-do list to a manageable three tasks. She also paints a vivid picture of the impact of energy styles on time management, emphasizing the importance of avoiding overbooking, breaking tasks into chunks, and taking time to recharge. We also venture into the often overlooked territory of setting boundaries and the power of saying no, reminding us that every yes also represents a no to something else.

The conversation takes an intriguing turn as we explore Alejandra's concept of “evolution” in her time protocol and the need to continuously expand our comfort zones. Alejandra also enlightens us on the significance of defining success on our own terms and being prepared for life's inevitable changes. She leaves us with a powerful reminder to reclaim our time and prioritize self-care, truly a conversation that will transform the way you view and use your time. So, tune in to redefine your relationship with time and take control of your life.

Change is an inevitable part of life, wouldn't you say? Yet, we often view it as an unwelcome guest. We're turning this belief on its head in our latest episode with Daphne Leger, the change-embracing powerhouse and founder of Atravida. Daphne offers insights into her intriguing journey where she became addicted to change and even launched her entrepreneurial venture amidst a global pandemic. She makes a compelling case for reframing how we perceive change and innovation, providing an invaluable perspective for anyone seeking personal or professional growth.

The episode takes an exciting turn as we tackle the concept of 'micro-dosing', a unique approach of implementing small changes to spark tremendous transformation. Daphne shares actionable advice on forming new habits, overcoming resistance, and navigating through the tumultuous sea of change. You'll also find food for thought in our discussions about challenging routines and adding variety to our lives. It's about time we ditched the monotony and stimulated our brains with new experiences, wouldn't you agree?

Our dialogue with Daphne takes us further into the realm of future-thinking, design thinking, lean startup, and change management. She paints a vivid picture of how these key principles can help capitalize on change and thrive in our dynamic innovation landscape. Encouraging us to stay curious, flexible, and open to new ideas, Daphne highlights the importance of reinventing oneself. Prepare to be enlightened as we uncover the profound link between change and innovation, and how you can master the skill of embracing it. This is not just another conversation—it's a stepping stone towards a transformative perception of change.
