Having a Full Schedule Doesn't Equal a F...

Megan Sumrell: Time Management and Productivity Coach
About this episode

I'm always surprised when people look at my weekly planner and see how much white space is in there. To the outside world, I appear to be a highly productive person. But the fact is, I have a lot of free time on my calendar. That's because I prioritize the things that are most important to me. And I've realized that a full calendar or full schedule does not necessarily mean that you have a full life. 

In fact, sometimes it can mean the opposite. If you're constantly overbooked, over-scheduled, and over-exhausted, it's time to take a step back and assess what's really important to you. That way, you can fill your life with the things that bring you joy and make you feel accomplished, content and satisfied.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. How my schedule looks more blank than you think

2. The importance of removing things from your calendar that don't fill you up.

3. The benefits of having large chunks of time in your life that are not full.
