44: Time-Management Tips to Improve Your Work-Life Balance - Work, Life, Balance Lesson #11

Creating a meal-planner often comes up in podcast conversations as the 'gold standard' of time-management. Plan what you and your family are going to eat every day of the week, shop and prepare accordingly, and sorted: you've truly got your life together.

I'm not knocking it. It's a great, simple technique that anyone can adopt to save and organise your time. But here’s the thing—not everyone does it.

In this Work, Life, Balance Lesson episode, we dig into why people make the time-management choices they do—and how those choices impact their overall sense of balance.

Rather than just throwing out generic tips and tricks (though I include a few of them in there too), through pulling out examples from the podcast's back catalogue, I explore the why behind how people manage their time.

Do you thrive on chaos? Or are you someone who loves systems and structure? Do you aim for control, or do you let things flow?

This is all about understanding how your approach to time-management affects your work-life balance, and how to find an approach that works for you.

Tune in to get inspired by real examples and to prompt self-reflection about how your time-management mindset can improve your sense of balance.
