Hey, friends! In our last episode, I shared 4 ways you can reduce your to-do list by 50% and one of those ways was to set boundaries. I gave you a permission slip to say no to others’ asking you to take on more; and even to yourself when it comes to being distracted. The thought of setting boundaries might trigger negative feelings for you and I want to be sensitive to that. So, today, I pose the question: should you feel guilty about setting boundaries? To answer this question, I am sharing 3 v...

Hey, sis! Today I’m speaking to those of you who feel like your to-do list is taking over your life. I know that to-do lists are really helpful and they’re a very needed piece of our time management systems. However, they can also become little idols in our hearts. Why is that? Well, I think it’s because we worry so much about what we’ve yet to cross off those to-do lists. So much of the energy spent thinking about them take from the energy needed to create a system to get all that done without ...

I’ll turn to Proverbs 21:5 to answer that question, so I hope you have your Bible, a notebook, and a pen because we...
