Episode notes

There's a cognitive advantage to routine. It frees up the mental space in our brains to centrate on something new. This allows us to auto pilot the execution of one essential activity while simultaneously actively engaging in another, without sacrificing our level of focus or contribution. We've got to be patient in the process for how how consistent we're going to be over time.

One of the most significant setbacks of the last few years has been the dismantling of many of our boundaries and routines. I think we have all felt this. Whether you are living out of your inbox, overwhelmed with texts and notifications, or have found yourself caught up in a zoom-eat-sleep-repeat lifestyle, it's an exhausting way to live.

Join me this week to learn how you can reestablish boundaries and routines that will allow you to take back control of your calendar - and your life - making it easier to accomplish what’s most important.
