Episode notes
Rebecca's Early Time Struggle
- Rebecca developed fibromyalgia after a car accident at 15 and had to use small time gaps intentionally to manage her energy and social needs.
- This early experience taught her to value micro moments for meaningful connection and productivity rather than procrastination.
COVID Burnout and Time Control
- Many experienced similar burnout during COVID despite having more leisure time because flexibility was replaced by constant small tasks.
- Feeling a lack of control, not absolute time scarcity, is the core challenge in modern time management.
Use Micro Moments Intentionally
- Avoid doomscrolling and unproductive email checks during small breaks; instead, batch tasks mindfully and choose intentional activities.
- Use micro moments for brief physical or social acts like pushups, deep breaths, or writing a note to recharge energy efficiently.
