2019-2025 Archival Note:
This is an archive of my body of work (blog and Not Too Productive podcast) from 2019 to 2025.
As much as I’ve wanted to toss it all in the trash, I believe it matters to show the ideas and experiments that carried me to this moment, and to mark how things, and we, change.
Through my years as The Holistic Time Coach, it became clear that the time I was talking about (a more spacious, humane, cyclical time) wasn’t the same time most people knew. Most of us are still living inside clock time, capitalist time, productivity time.
Now I’m writing about Time Liberation here.
If you see something here that you disagree with, I may… probably… agree with you. That’s part of why it’s now an archive.

Can't get through your to-do list? Try an 'All The Things List’
In today's eppy, I talk about procrasti-cleaning, a huge misunderstanding around to-do lists that we need to let go of, and a strategy that will help you rest and relax EVEN when things still need to get done. (You can do it. I believe in you!!!)
Integration Q's:
1. What are you taking from this mindset shift of 'you will never get it all done because you're alive, you're human.'
2. How might you try on the 'all the things versus to-do list?' strategy?
3. What does practicing resting and relaxing when there are still things to do look like to you?
