Designing A Productive Schedule With Intentionality And Without Time Blocking
In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I share a powerful strategy from my books Becoming Boss Minded and The Accountability Code to help you master productivity and time management. It starts with being intentional, brain dumping tasks, identifying non-negotiables, and building a flexible, purpose-driven schedule.

I walk you through a five-step process: write everything down, identify habits, set intentions, prioritize, and take imperfect action. I also share personal stories to show how this approach brings peace and alignment, not just productivity.
