So many of us feel like we're always behind, convinced that the right planner or app will finally fix our schedules. But as Anna Dearmon Kornick - time management coach, author of Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy, and Productivity , and host of the It's About Time podcast - explains, true time management doesn't start with hacks.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or like your priorities are slipping through the cracks, this episode is packed with encouragement and strategies to help you manage your time with purpose. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why purpose — rooted in your vision and values — is the foundation of time management How time blocking helps combat Parkinson's Law, the planning fallacy, and context switching Why creating an “ideal week” matters more than aiming for a “perfect day” Five essential routines that support a well-managed life A step-by-step approach to weekly planning — even when you're overwhelmed More about Anna: A true Louisiana firecracker who has become known for making time management fun, Anna helps busy professionals and business owners struggling with overwhelm manage their time using her personality-driven HEART Method.

How would your life change if anxiety wasn't an enemy to fight, but a whole-body signal you could learn to move through? In this Essential Series episode, you will learn that anxiety is a whole-body experience and how you can train your mind to move through anxiety instead of fighting it. This is a snippet from Episode 181, where Kelly speaks with licensed clinical psychologist, bestselling author, speaker, and TikTok therapist, Dr. Lauren Cook, to share insights from her international bestselling book, Generation Anxiety. In Generation Anxiety, Lauren describes the “three main sharks” that trigger anxiety (our own minds, society at large, and other people) and explains why naming our triggers can help us move through discomfort. They also talk about how anxiety shows up not only in our thoughts but also in our sleep, energy, and gut, and how certain food choices can cause or worsen anxiety, while others may ease it. Plus, you will learn how anxiety can run as a habit loop, how avoiding these feelings can keep the cycle going, and how becoming curious about our anxiety and changing our habits can make life feel lighter. Be inspired to ease overwhelm and feel calmer every day. Listen to the full discussion from episode 181 here!

Ep 555 - Decluttering Regulations in Canada Guest: Krystal Wittevrongel By Stuart McNish Vowing to get Canada moving again is one of prime minister Mark Carney's promises – a promise he reiterated while introducing his new cabinet. As the economy has taken a jolt from the shifting relationship with the United States, politicians across the country have turned their attention to improving the regulatory environment. Krystal Wittevrongel of the Montreal Economic Institute points out that “reducing regulation was stated as a priority in 2018. Unfortunately, that government failed to make it a priority and businesses have suffered as a result.” Recognition of the negative impact is only the first step, says Wittevrongel. “It's much less clear how and when the government will actually address the complex issues that are clogging trade in Canada.” We invited Krystal Wittevrongel to join us for a Conversation That Matters about unclogging the gears of regulation that have bogged down trade in Canada.

In this episode, I share how putting everything on your calendar—even the smallest tasks—can transform your productivity and peace of mind. I talk about my own journey with calendar blocking, why it's so effective, and how it helps reduce decision fatigue and overwhelm. You'll hear practical tips for scheduling everything from work projects and family time to errands and rest, plus why building in buffer time is essential. I also discuss how this habit gives you the freedom to say yes to what matters and no to what doesn't, and how it helps you spot patterns where you need more support or boundaries. If you're new to calendar blocking, I encourage you to try it for just one day and see the difference. Let me know how it goes on Instagram @simplifywithamandab!

Want less stress in love and more connection? Start by knowing your attachment style! In this snippet from Episode 201, Kelly sits down with relationship expert and best-selling author, Thais Gibson, to unpack attachment theory and how understanding your own style and the style of the people you care about can make relationships calmer and closer. Thais explains the four main attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant) and shows how early formed patterns can linger as unconscious “relational clutter” that shapes how we ask for needs and respond to closeness. You will be encouraged to think about your own attachment style and you will learn how knowing your style can help you bring calm during moments of conflict. Plus, Thais and Kelly discuss a real conflict situation between two opposing styles to show how, by recognizing each person's needs, the situation can be alleviated and turned into connection. Be inspired to understand your attachment style and strengthen your connections with the people who matter most. Listen to the full discussion from Episode 201 here!

Like we tie so much into the physical object. That's why we end up keeping so much, 'cause we're like, “oh, I feel like I'm throwing out my kids' childhood if I don't keep every piece of art that they've ever made.” And then when you give it to 'em, my girls are 25 and 23, they don't want it. You know, you can document, you can, journal. That's the stuff that really matters. So don't let things give you the guilt because you don't have to keep everything, because if you keep everything, nothing special.” - Stacy Landholm GUEST RESOURCES: Stacy Landholm @homeorganizetribe Two-Minute Tidy Tips Podcast The 10 Day / 10 Room Reset Challenge RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

Happy September! This month we celebrate Our Lady of Sorrows and the Seven Sorrows Rosary. If you would like to purchase a 7 Sorrows Rosary, here is an example of one from Amazon: 7 Sorrows Rosary Do you struggle with Perfectionism? The only perfect woman to ever walk planet Earth was Our Blessed Mother. And while it is good and holy to strive to be more like her everyday, we will never achieve perfect like Her. For she was conceived without sin. So, how can we try to overcome 5 of the common signs of perfectionism? Let's use the second mystery of the 7 Sorrows Rosary as our guide. The Flight into Egypt.

In this episode, I share my best strategies for getting things done as a female business owner with a family—without falling into the trap of busy work. I talk about the difference between being busy and being productive, and how a flexible schedule can sometimes blur those lines. I walk you through how I set clear work hours, choose 1-3 weekly goals, and reverse engineer the steps to achieve them. I also explain why I schedule time for each action, build in buffer zones to avoid burnout, and set aside a “parking lot” for non-urgent tasks.Listen to Episode 116: Life Lately (August)Tune in for practical tips to help you create more intention and momentum in your business and family life!

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit, your go-to for home improvement how-tos, hacks, tips, tricks, and advice! We've covered a ton of ground this hour, making good homes better with cleaning, decluttering, and restoration advice. On today's show, you'll hear: - Kitchen Cabinet Intervention: We share smart tips to declutter, deep clean, and reorganize your kitchen storage, turning that "black hole of mismatched Tupperware" into an efficient and enjoyable space. - Roof Restoration with Roof Maxx: That gritty, sand-like debris in your gutters is a distress signal from your roof, indicating aging asphalt shingles shedding granules. A Roof Maxx treatment can restore flexibility, protect against leaks, and add up to 15 years of life to your existing roof! - Entryway Command Center: Combat back-to-school chaos with clever ideas for creating a smart and stylish command center right by your door, perfect for organizing gear, taming paper piles, and setting your family up for a stress-free fall. - Screen Maintenance Checklist: Make sure your window screens are ready for cooler days by vacuuming or hosing them off, patching holes and tears, and fixing warped frames on screen doors. Q & A: - Sean from Texas had a question about his central vacuuming system, with lots of condensation and muddy water buildup in one of his inlet pipes. The solution is to insulate the central vac pipe to prevent temperature changes and subsequent condensation. - Linda from Florida called in about her flaking cement floor. We advise pressure washing the floor to remove all loose material, ensuring it's fully dry, and then applying a durable, industrial-grade two-part epoxy coating. - Thomas from Tennessee was dealing with terrible moisture and mildew in his basement. We recommend addressing exterior drainage first by extending downspouts away from the foundation, ensuring proper gutter capacity, and sloping the soil away from the house. - Steve called about replacing green shag carpet in his 1975 RV by installing a laminate floor. The key is to ensure a very sturdy subfloor with no flex, as the material can snap if the subfloor is uneven or has movement. - Sheena wrote in about dripping water on the ceiling next to her bathroom exhaust fan. This is likely condensation caused by warm, moist air hitting cold ductwork. We advise checking that the exhaust ducting is properly connected and insulated. - David was concerned about cracking walls and nail pops in his home after only two years, despite a clear home inspection. We reassure him that this is normal movement as homes expand and contract. ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!

In this episode, I'm sharing my favorite productivity tip: the 30-minute catch all block. As a mom and business owner, I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle constant inputs and endless micro-tasks. That's why I schedule one or two dedicated 30-minute blocks each day—midday and/or at the end of the day—to batch tasks like replying to emails, returning messages, and handling admin work. This simple shift has helped me reduce task switching, clear mental clutter, and protect my focus time for deep work. I use my digital calendar to make these blocks non-negotiable, so I can stay in control and be less reactive throughout the day. If you're looking for more clarity, calm, and productivity, try adding a catch all block to your routine. Plus, if you haven't already, check out my free training on the habits and routines that help me balance business and motherhood here.

If you're a mom with ADHD (or parenting kids with ADHD), daily life can feel like constant overcommitment, burnout, and chaos. But what if instead of pushing harder, you learned to strategically parent your brain? In this conversation, I'm joined by Amy Marie Hann—author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD which comes out September 10, 2025. Diagnosed at five with ADHD and raising three neurodivergent kids, Amy brings both lived experience and practical strategies for building rhythms that actually work for the ADHD brain. Together we talk about: The differences between the boredom zone, depletion zone, ADHD burnout, and activation zone—and how to recognize which one you're in Why urgency feels motivating but creates unnecessary chaos in everyday life (and what to do instead) What “executive function capacity” is, and how to “budget” it like a bank account How to use the Daily 3 to keep life moving even on burnout or low-energy days A realistic plan for balancing novelty with capacity so you don't overcommit How to ditch “rage decluttering” and instead create sustainable habits for your home If you've ever felt like your ADHD brain is working against you, this episode will help you see that it's not broken - it just needs the right strategies and support to thrive. About Amy: Amy Marie Hann is the author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD. Diagnosed with ADHD at age five, she's now a mom of three, a foster and adoptive parent, and a homeschooling mom who has navigated life with ADHD alongside her husband, kids, dad, and sister. Amy believes the ADHD brain is uniquely designed to bring good to the world—and that the greatest gift moms can give their ADHD kids is modeling what it looks like to thrive.
