Do you really know how to prioritize your time? I’m referring to the significance of aligning time management with personal core values to enhance productivity and reduce overwhelm. This is part two of my four-part series on getting to know yourself and aligning your life with what actually matters to YOU.

Last episode, we talked about uncovering your core values — the big, bold truths that guide your decisions, your energy, and ultimately, your happiness. If you missed that one, do yourself a favor and go listen. It’s the foundation for everything we’re about to do today.

Let’s be clear though, knowing your values isn’t enough. Knowing them without acting on them is just more noise in that ADHD brain of yours. 

In this episode, we’re talking about how to prioritize your time according to your core values. 

Because time management isn’t about getting more done — it’s about getting the right things done. I’m giving you practical tools so that you can make that happen. I’m talking real, actionable strategies — from brain dumps and sticky notes to spotting when you’re defaulting to busy work and pulling yourself back on track. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about:
