The Heartward Project

Admittedly, I thought procrastination was only associated with things that have deadlines. I may not have limited it entirely to things with deadlines, but I definitely did not think procrastination was a part of my life. All of the things on my to-do list that I delayed and put off for a long time, I didn't consider that procrastination since it didn't have a deadline. But it is. My realization lit a fire under me to break those habits and start building a foundation that helps me get things done sooner rather than saving everything to do later, which is what contributes greatly to my overwhelm! If this feels like anything you'd relate to, please listen in to start changing your habits! 016: Show Notes

If you are somebody who sets their personal standard really high, you need to listen in to this episode! I can completely relate to that and this is a big challenge I'm working through as well. I chat about a silly skill that is a perfect example for how much more value there is when you simply just enjoy the experience, and completely disregard comparing the talent across the board. Putting yourself out there gives you a tremendous opportunity to grow, no matter how well you consider it to be successful (or not!)! 015: Show Notes

March was an incredibly successful month for me! If you are someone with big goals and big dreams but find yourself struggling to move forward, you need to tune into this one. Mixed in with my monthly update of my yearly goals for my closest followers, I will also talk through different ways on how to get the ball rolling for YOUR dreams! Tune in and let me know what you're working towards! I'd love to hear about it and cheer you on! 014: Show Notes

How many times have you dreamed up the most exciting thing for yourself but dropped the ball in making it a reality? There are so many stories in my life where I've dreamt about something BIG in my life, and if I didn't initiate the forward progress, nobody else would do it for me. Step One is recognizing that you are still sitting static in your safe place. Step Two is understanding that all the responsibility falls on you to make something a reality! The beauty in a community is that many people will surround you and encourage you with what you're working towards. They will be able to help you in the ways they are capable of, but that is not 100% of the timeline. You are the primary subject for 100% of the timeline. Figure out how you can be active with your ownership of these dreams, and make them come true! 013: Show Notes

When you push yourself towards your life goals, you inevitably will walk through a phase that feels uncomfortable and you may experience some tears and meltdowns due to the overwhelm. That is natural and good for you! If you continuously refrain from growing yourself because of these anticipated emotions, they will eventually leak into your current comfort zone. They will cause a worse experience of tears and meltdowns that hit you hard and make you feel not so great for hanging out in your safe place for too long. So listen in to understand why it's most important to embrace the expected tears and meltdowns, and let them expand you as a person. 012: Show Notes

If you are striving for productivity, it is really important to understand how keeping these three different timelines in mind will make a difference in how you manage your time and progress in your projects. In this episode, I will walk you through understanding the nightly timeline, which will help you start something you've been avoiding and end the night in a place that doesn't overwhelm you; the lifelong timeline of understanding how delaying decisions can make future you weighed down even more with unmade decisions to handle; and how the project timeline can navigate you through actually finishing your project in a timely manner that can help you enjoy the end result for longer times, and free up future time to dedicate towards other projects. 011: Show Notes

Believe it or not, we are already 1/6 of the way through the year! At the end of this next month (March), we will be through Q1! The Heartward Project really helps me keep track of how quickly time is passing, and gives me a plan for grabbing time by the horns and making it productive! If you are someone who doesn't stick to a routine very well, listen in! I am always creating a new plan to help me move forward and keep at it until it feels stale. This episode talks a bit about that and lays out an alternative way to use my Single Heartward Project worksheet if you are trying to push forward multiple projects at once! 010: Show Notes

Do you feel like there isn't enough time in the world to pursue everything on your dream list? Well, are you also somebody who is embarrassed to share the number of hours you spent indulged in your phone throughout the day? If so, you are not alone! It is so common to find ways to find rest within our phones amidst this chaotic world, but what happens when we solely become a consumer, and are no longer a contributor to the world (or our lives!)? Listen in to find a few ways to step away from living the consumer-only life, and start recognizing ways you can begin taking action again to contribute to your life and the goals you've been dreaming about for so long now! 009: Show Notes

Are you letting those tiny, minor tasks on your to-do list help you avoid stepping into something greater in your life? Tune into this episode to gain a perspective that helps you understand if those small to-do's are actually needed, or unknowingly placed to slow you down in life. 008: Show Notes

Allowing yourself to pick which task you want to tackle next on your ever-growing to-do list can actually add weight to the overwhelm. It gives you the ability to avoid the ones that you're really dreading, whether you hate going to the DMV (just me?), or you just don't want to scrub the yogurt off of the walls near the baby's high chair (also just me?). Adapting the Morning Task Jar method can totally knock so many things off of your list in a single week, and it won't even feel overwhelming! It is the best way to create momentum to pump you right out of the overwhelm and burn out phase! Next week's podcast continues this conversation but puts a bit of a different spin on how you look at your tasks and when to push yourself forward to the next batch of items. 007: Show Notes

The Heartward Project helps you handle the passing of time and enter into a level of productivity. It is totally flexible for you as an individual! Let's talk about how The Heartward Project helped me progress throughout the month. How I use it can be totally different for how you need to use it, but I think it's really fun to share this process simply as an example for what it can do for you. I can't believe we are 1/12 of the way through the year already, but The Heartward Project will help me keep spending my time well with purpose and intention! 006: Shownotes

Mental clutter and physical clutter are often directly related. I don't know about you, but in my ideal world, I would love tackling one project at a time and seeing it through before starting on the next. But that's just not how I function! If you are anything like me, it can be such a rollercoaster trying to handle all of the details and track multiple projects at one time. In this episode, I talk through the perfect worksheet I've created for myself that I want to share with you! It helps me track every last detail for each project, no matter when I plan to start or finish it. 005: Show Notes

Mental clutter and physical clutter are often directly related. In this episode, I call out how the process of working through the items on your mental to-do list can lead to the need for managing more physical items, which, for me, is overwhelming. Listen in to hear how I use Evernote to track the physical items that haven't been used yet so that I don't forget about them, ultimately adding more to my physical clutter! Part 2 will cover this same concept for people who prefer pen and paper. Stay tuned for next week when it releases on 1/25! 004: Show Notes

The previous episode was reviewing the goals I set for 2021, but now it's time to move on to the new year: 2022! I have chosen to set 12 goals for 2022, fully aware that I will not finish the year with 12 goals completed. But that is okay! The Heartward Project is all about recognizing how much time has passed at the start of each month to keep me accountable for forward progress, whether big or small! Tune in to hear what I hope my year will look like and the word of the year I've decided for myself! 003: Episode Show Notes

Setting goals for the year can be a great form of personal accountability. Reviewing your progress at the end of the year helps you celebrate the victories and see if your unfinished goals are no longer aligned with your Master List of dreams to bring to life. In part 1 of this two-part series, Taryn will review and reflect back on the 21 goals she set for 2021 and assess how well she did. 002 Episode Show Notes
