In this week’s episode, we’re talking about something that everyone has to deal with – and that is TIME.
I chat with Holistic Time Consultant and Coach Becca Rich on how time management and a feeling of time scarcity affect our mental health and our ability to earn and manage money. Find out how to spend time based on your values, allow yourself to actually rest, and know where your time is going.
“You’re going to never have enough time if you don’t plan to use your time in the best way possible.” – Becca Rich
“You have to believe and think that you have enough time in order for you to plan your time authentically.” – Becca Rich
“A lot of the time rushing can cost you more money.” – Melanie Lockert
“The more present that you are to life, to work, to your everyday little moments, the more that you’re slow, you’re going to feel alive and that’s really what our goal is.” – Becca Rich
“We don’t know our limits until we reach them.” – Melanie Lockert
“If something is important to you, is of value to you, is part of your core values, that is productive. It’s not about what society thinks is productive or what other people in your life think is productive. Anything that is important to you is productive to you.” Becca Rich
