Some principles I stick to with time management. This was just an exercise to see what I could come up with - I don't think anything is set in stone. The most important principle of time management is to do what works best for you!

#TimeManagement
#LifeCoach
#PracticalTimeManagement
Principles of Time Management: 1. Start as simple as possible. 2. Make mistakes. 3. Don't make it pretty. 4. Do make it enjoyable. 5. Only automate something you can do manually 6. If something doesn't work, throw it out 7. Taking time to plan reduces overall time spent

Time management is a SKILL. It's not an innate trait that you do or don't have, or some magical thing fixed by enough Systems. It is something you learn over time.

Time Manage is HARD. Time Management is a specific skill. It's not something most people can learn overnight. It's incredibly difficult. It does take a lot of time to learn. AND it is a skill worth learning. Everyone has the right to control their own time.

These are just a few of the ways to start taking control of your time. I'm a huge fan of starting simple - do what's feasible and move from there. The most important thing is that YOU are making the choice.

Taking control of our time won't solve capitalism, but it will make us less easy to control. It doesn't matter how you actually manage your time, it matters that you are the one making the choices. Use a system that you understand. Avoid anything owned by Big Tech Try not to spend more than $10 on your tools Only automate something once you have done it manually at least once

I continue to love teaching so much! In Sunday class, we've been doing a deep dive into the structures and patterns of basic jig steps. They seem simple on the surface, but are a beautiful kind of complex the deeper we go!

Corporate-controlled time management tools serve corporate capitalist agendas - not just making money off of your need for the tool, but taking over YOUR control of YOUR time.

#Capitalism
#TimeManagement
#TimeManagementTools

#LifeCoachThoughts
Most of these schmancy time management systems come from corporations trying to make shit tons of money out of people trying to control their time. Capitalism relies on these people in power being able to control other people's time - when to show up, when to work, what to do when, when to take breaks, deadlines... These days, most time management tools are coming from people who have a vested interest in keeping people from being able to control their own time. The automation or the app might make things easier in the short run, but it means we aren't in control.

Happy 2026! In the rush towards New Years Resolution, Time Management is a thing that comes up a lot. So, let's talk about it!

#TimeManagement
#LifeCoach
#Efficiency
#AntiCapitalistLifeCoach
#AntiCapitalism
I swear that every other app these days is a "time management tool". When it's not an app, it's a schmancy journal, or some new software for office work, or some other new system build for efficiency. There's also a huge push to automate everything. I'm not a fan. Time management is about being in control of your own time. If an app, automation, or over-hyped journal is in control of your time, that's not time management, it's loss of your independence.
