Tired of being told to "just prioritize" with no real explanation of how? In this episode, Kelly Nolan breaks down five clear, realistic steps to help working women prioritize what matters—without color-coding, overthinking, or trying to fit 10 projects into a day with carry-on level capacity.
Prioritization sounds simple… until everything on your list feels important.
In this episode of The Bright Method Podcast, time management strategist Kelly Nolan offers a realistic take on how to actually prioritize—especially when your to-do list is overflowing and the traditional "rank everything high/medium/low" approach just doesn't cut it.
You'll learn:
Why most prioritization systems fall short for working women
How to get clear on your true capacity (and why it's the #1 step everyone skips)
Why invisible to-dos like "make dinner" and "prep for meetings" matter more than you might think or traditional prioritization systems account for
The critical (and often ignored) role of eliminating and punting work that doesn't fit
How to align your calendar with one personal goal and one career goal at a time
Why prioritizing tasks side-by-side (not in isolation) leads to clearer, faster decisions
This episode is for busy professional women who want to stop overcommitting, start saying no with confidence, and finally create realistic game plans that honor their actual time, energy, and season of life.
🎧 Listen in for practical strategies that feel just as empowering as they are doable. 📩 Then share this with a friend—because this is the kind of prioritization talk we all deserve.
