#282. Sarah Goes to School: Time Management & Productivity

Class is back in session, ladies!

Once again, Sarah’s sharing study notes from her graduate courses at Concordia University Irvine’s Townsend Institute for Counseling and Leadership. In this episode on focus and productivity, drawn largely from Michael Hyatt’s Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less, she covers how to:

• STOP. This is where we Formulate, Evaluate, and Rejuvenate.
• CUT. This is where we Eliminate, Automate, and Delegate.
• ACT. This is where we Consolidate, Designate, and Activate.

“Putting some of these concepts into action has helped me so much with focusing my work and productivity – and letting go of the ‘hustle-productivity-do-all-the-things-at-once' culture,” says Sarah.

“We stress ourselves out about doing 'all the things’ and just need a reminder that it’s okay to not do 'all the things.’ We aren’t called to do that. We’re called to serve each other in love because we are forgiven children of God, and that in itself gives us a lot of freedom.”
