Reclaiming Time and Building Supportive Habits

Women often struggle with balancing responsibilities and finding time for themselves, especially at night, known as 'revenge bedtime procrastination.' The pressure to wake up early like men do can conflict with reclaiming evening hours for self-care. Monica advises women to reclaim time in ways that suit their life seasons, whether in the morning, afternoon, or night. She emphasizes the importance of incorporating small moments of self-care throughout the day to prevent time leaks and acknowledges the need for trade-offs and accepting imperfection to make self-care a priority.
