Feeling Pulled in Too Many Directions? It’s Not a Time Problem, It’s a Boundaries Problem

“I feel pulled in different directions. There's so much going on that I'm not productive at work or at home.”

I hear this all the time in my Boundaries and Balance audits. And honestly? I’m not surprised. Are you?

Why Multi-Tasking Is Stealing Your Productivity and Sanity

Women have been multi-tasking phenoms forever. (Remember when Oprah made it sound like a superpower?) It feels productive to juggle everything at once, but in reality? It just leads to more mistakes, overwhelm, and exhaustion.

And truthfully, you really do have a lot on your plate.

? Work

? Family time

? Checking in on your parents

? Taxi driver, chef, house cleaner, finance manager, negotiator...

? Volunteering, yard work,

But trying to do everything at once keeps you from completing tasks correctly and efficiently. It leaves lose ends and broken concentration, so you feel more behind instead of more productive.

And where’s the time for you?

What if you could do one thing at a time and schedule in time for yourself first? (Seriously. It’s okay for you to do that.)

The reason you feel pulled in too many directions isn’t a time problem.

It’s a boundaries problem. It’s a clarity problem.

How a Simple Audit Can Help You Take Back Control of Your Time

I recently walked a woman through a Boundaries and Balance audit and realized she wasn’t actually out of time, she had been multi-tasking and she didn’t have a schedule, routine, or boundaries that gave her the time and support she needed to feel productive and still have time for herself.

After her audit, she finally knew exactly where to focus and what was stealing her energy.

Wouldn’t it feel amazing to have that kind of clarity? To feel calm and confident about the quality of your work and to be able to relax knowing you've done enough instead of feeling stressed and overwhelmed?

If you’re not sure where to start, let’s do an audit.

It’s free. It takes 30-45 minutes. And it’s not a sales call.
