Rolling out a free life-improvement course for my listeners is by far the most important thing I've done this year, and I don't want you to miss it!
So, in this podcast episode, I'm talking about white space: what it is and how to use it. It's a big topic, and honestly, I'm worried I might lose a few of you along the way, but please let me know if something is murky or unclear for you. Opening up a dialogue about living your best life is super important to me & I love answering whatever questions I can for you guys.
White Space: Time in your day where you can turn your brain off & experience mental rest. on a calendar, it would look like a white, un-filled in space. Get it?
Here are some easy ways to implement white space in your life:
- Try not to overpack your schedule
- An empty schedule might SEEM less productive, but you'll actually be able to finish everything & give everything the attention it deserves if you're more selective
- Try to batch similar tasks together to save energy in switching from task to task
- When you bounce from task to task, you don't let your brain get into a groove
- Multitasking doesn't work
- Anything requires mental focus should be done on its own before switching tasks.
- If you use a planner, try to leave an extra 10-15 minutes before a task to stop you from rushing
- Think to yourself "less busy, more productive"
- Busy doesn't equal productive
- Try to say no to random projects + obligations that don't serve you
- The more you simplify your life, the easier this becomes
- Busy doesn't equal productive
- Live intentionally
- Be intentional about your day
- Take your energy levels into account: how much energy do you really have?
- If you're feeling energetic, you may require less white space that day
- If you're feeling drained, a more restful, white space kind of day might be more sustainable
- This doesn't mean you're writing off the day, but make an effort to conserve your energy + stay present as you go about your day
- Take your energy levels into account: how much energy do you really have?
- Be intentional about your day
This is just a quick overview to give you the gist, but in my opinion, the episode is really where the content shines. Give it a listen if you haven't, and I'll see you next time!
Lotsa love,
Andrea
