  • 2.18 - Time-blocking not working for you? Use self-discovery for strategies that stick
    Sep 16 2024

    Here at Breathing Space Creative, we view time-blocking as more than just scheduling tasks - it’s about:

    • Peeling back the layers of why we want to dedicate time to them

    • Tracking our energy levels so we know when we can make the most of it

    • Building on these priorities through intentional actions and becoming who we are trying to be.

    In today’s episode, Chelene reflects on how effective time-blocking has opened doors to a deeper perspective of creative entrepreneurship.

    As you listen to this episode, consider how you can take accountability for your creative projects while fostering a healthy relationship with your priorities and why you feel the need to strengthen it.

    As mentioned in this episode, you can listen to episode 14: Make space for creative joy, releasing expectations of yourself, wherever you listen to your podcasts.
