Podcasts about Making Time

How do you keep creating great rock 'n' roll when music isn't your only responsibility?On this episode of The Travel Wins Podcast, I sit down with Tommy London and Britt Lightning of The Jetsetters to talk about making new music, creating music videos and finding the time to keep The Jetsetters moving forward while juggling their other careers, travel and responsibilities. Tommy London brings years of experience as a singer, songwriter, musician and radio personality, while Britt Lightning brings her incredible guitar talent and experience as a professional touring musician.Together, they're The Jetsetters—and they're proving there's still plenty of room for energetic, guitar-driven rock 'n' roll. We get into the part of making music that fans don't always see: coordinating schedules, balancing different commitments, finding time to create and then doing everything required to turn a song into a finished release and music video.In this episode:• Tommy London and Britt Lightning discuss The Jetsetters• Balancing music with other careers and responsibilities• Writing and recording new rock 'n' roll• Creating music videos• Finding time for creative projects• Life as working professional musicians• Collaboration when schedules are already packed• Why making music is still worth the effort• Keeping rock 'n' roll alive with new songsThe Jetsetters' story isn't only for musicians.

In this episode of Defend, Publish, and Lead, Christine Tulley argues that writing project management isn't separate from the scholarly writing process but an essential part of it, since standard "writing process" models (drafting, revising, publishing) only look at a single project in isolation and ignore how projects interact. She lays out four reasons why writing project management is a built in part of the scholarly writing process.

We all say we need to “find more time,” but the truth is… you'll rarely find something you're not intentionally creating.In this week's Motivational Monday, I dive into the mindset shift between finding time and making time. When you're waiting for the perfect moment, life usually gets in the way. But when you decide something matters and intentionally create space for it, that's when progress happens.Whether it's your health, your family, your faith, your business, or your biggest goals, success doesn't come from finding extra time—it comes from making it.If you've been waiting for the right moment to get started, this episode is your reminder that the right moment is the one you create.All things Coop https://beacons.ai/cooperwahlojr

Making Time for Jesus In Marriage by Ebenezer Endiryas

In this episode, I chat with a kindred spirit, another Rebecca artist. Rebecca Pliner shares about her art business illustrating treasured recipes for friends and family. Then we talk about how to stay motivated when you are discouraged. We talk about the ups and the downs of creating and selling your art. I also share more about the behind-the-scenes of writing my graphic novel. We end off with a discussion about the importance of treating yourself like an artist, creating a spot where you create your art, and making it cute! I really appreciated Rebecca's candidness and honesty in this episode, and it was definitely the pep talk I needed. I hope you enjoy this slightly chaotic, chatty, and hopeful episode.Rebecca Pliner is an artist based in Rehovot, Israel. With a background in fashion design and professional pastry, she now creates watercolor, acrylic, and ink artwork inspired by design, color, calligraphy, and her Jewish heritage.

Rest to Return is a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: What makes time sacred? The concept that each of us is created b'tzelem Elohim, in the Divine Image, comes from Genesis 1:27. The first person who I heard crystalise the idea that we need to reach REM sleep in order to dream was Rev Dr Tony Lim, during a gathering of Spiritual Innovators at the Fetzer Institute. The idea that dreaming is one-sixtieth of prophecy comes from Berakhot 57b. The concept of the Jubilee can be found in Leviticus 25:8-16. I first learned about Soli-lunar time from Seasons of our Joy: A Modern Guide to the Jewish Holidays by Reb Arthur Waskow z”l. Geoffrey Chaucer was a writer and poet who lived in the 1300s; he was best known for having written The Canterbury Tales. I learned “Who Make the Future?” at Let My People Sing; the song is by Abigail Bengson of the Bengsons. Enjoy the live version of Lay it Down, Let it Go here. Check out the Rest to Return webpage for photos, info about the Rest to Return retreat, and more! This episode is brought to you by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. Rest to Return exists because we believe slowing down is a spiritual act. IJS believes that too. For over two decades, IJS has been helping people go deeper, through Jewish mindfulness meditation, contemplative prayer, sacred text study, and embodied practice. Their offerings range from online courses and silent retreats to immersive cohort programs for seekers of all experience levels, clergy, and spiritual leaders who are ready to live and lead from a more grounded place. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is part of IJS's core faculty, and the wisdom you'll hear in this series is very much in that spirit. If this podcast is stirring something in you, IJS is a place to go further.

In this episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD explains why optimal health starts in your own kitchen. While many people search for health shortcuts through supplements, special testing, weight-loss medications, and wellness trends, the evidence points to a much simpler solution: cooking more of your own meals using real, minimally processed foods. Dr. Hassell discusses how home-cooked meals can reduce the risk of chronic disease, improve weight management, save money, and help create lifelong healthy habits. He also shares practical strategies for learning to cook, planning ahead, and making healthy eating realistic even with a busy schedule. Key Takeaways • Cooking at home is strongly associated with lower rates of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, and other chronic illnesses. • Highly processed foods make up the majority of many modern diets and are linked to numerous health problems. • Restaurant meals and packaged "health foods" often contain hidden processed ingredients, refined carbohydrates, and additives. • Whole, minimally processed foods naturally promote fullness and can reduce daily calorie intake without strict dieting. • Sustainable lifestyle habits often provide better long-term results than relying on supplements, testing, or weight-loss medications. • Learning to cook does not require expensive equipment or advanced skills—simple recipes and repetition build confidence. • Meal planning and preparation are essential for making healthy eating convenient and sustainable. • Cooking at home can save significant money while improving health and quality of life. 00:00 Introduction – Why You Have to Cook 00:00:41 The New Food Pyramid and the Importance of Home Cooking 00:02:25 How Cooking at Home Reduces Disease Risk and Saves Money 00:03:01 The Hidden Dangers of Highly Processed Foods 00:05:23 Whole Foods vs. Processed Foods for Weight Management 00:06:53 Misleading "Health Foods" and Marketing Claims 00:08:14 Building a Foundation of Good Food, Activity, and Purpose 00:09:00 Learning to Cook: Simple Steps for Beginners 00:10:07 Making Time for Cooking and Reordering Priorities 00:11:17 Meal Planning Strategies for a Healthier Life References: Dicken, S.J., et al.

Psychedelia is at the core of Zillas on Acid's musical manoeuvres. The Philadelphian duo, made up of Thomas Roland and James Weissinger, have been DJing together for almost two decades, and you can tell.  There's an intuitiveness to their sets; one that comes from an extended period spent building and evolving together. Their strung out, trippy sound takes cues from post-punk and acid house approached through that psychedelic lens they've become known for. It's no surprise then that they've been closely affiliated with Making Time, the Philadelphia institution helmed by Dave P, that treads similar transcendental terrain. Over the years they've notched up releases for some of our favourite labels, including Optimo Music, Live at Robert Johnson, Les Disques de la Mort and Running Back, and now they're bringing this music to life with their live band, adding vocalist Ari Ratner and bassist Matt O'Hare into the mix. Their latest offering, Rolling The Marble Wheel, comes via our sister label Human Endeavour and is Zillas at their best (not even biased...). Following the release, we asked them to contribute to our Ransom Note mix series. Dive into the Zillas world, it's a trip...

I believe that our relationships, with ourselves and with our loved ones, are the only thing that really matters. And so much of daily life pulls us away from that, which is why it's imperative that you make it a priority through planning.

In Episode 285 of the Defend, Publish, and Lead podcast, host Christine Tulley tackles the anxiety of being scooped, when another scholar is about to publish something strikingly similar to your work-in-progress. She offers four practical strategies: carefully examine the competing project to assess how it truly differs from yours; consider whether the overlap signals a hot topic with room for multiple voices; identify different venues or presses to find your own lane; and, most counterintuitively, reach out to the potential scooper as a possible collaborator.  Resources Mentioned Faculty Writing Support- it's open access and free!

If you've ever felt like ballet is the first thing to get dropped when life gets busy, this episode is for you.I'm joined by Rebecca Holden, a fellow adult dancer who is also a wife, a mom to a son with autism, and a full-time manager  and someone who has figured out how to make ballet a consistent, guilt-free part of her life. We get into the real,  stuff: how she protects her training days when everything else is competing for that time, how she deals with burnout, and how she navigates taking breaks.Rebecca is also someone who dances at the same studio as her son who participates in an inclusive movement program there, and that part of the conversation is so special.

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the lovely Rachael Johnstone - mum of three, hairdresser, backyard ultra runner, sister-in-law and best friend of Nagiska, and someone who somehow manages to fit 80-100km of running into a very full life. Rach grew up in Koo Wee Rup as one of four kids, in a busy household full of sport, family, chaos, and noise. As a kid, she loved being active - netball, swimming, cross country, athletics, hockey, t-ball - basically all the things. But like so many teenage girls, sport slowly faded into the background when friends, social life, and fitting in became more important. After leaving school at the end of Year 11, Rach became a hairdresser and spent around 20 years at the same salon - including some very long commutes, early starts, and years on her feet. But this conversation is about much more than running. Rach speaks openly about becoming a young mum, meeting her husband Pete, going through IVF, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, grief, family life, giving up alcohol, and eventually finding running in a way that completely changed her life. Her running started small - 1.5km to 3km in the morning before work, just around the well-lit streets near home. She didn't necessarily love the running part at first, but she loved how she felt afterwards. Then, when her daughter Jada was six weeks old, Rach found a $20 running pram on Marketplace - and that little bargain pram helped launch a whole new chapter. From there, running grew. A few kilometres became a half marathon with the pram on a random Wednesday. Then came bigger adventures, backyard ultras, trail races, 50Ks, Two Bays, Wild Dog Backyard Ultra, Tarawera, Melbourne Frontyard Ultra, and now a focus on GV Backyard Ultra. What I loved most about this chat is how normal and real Rach makes it all sound. She doesn't pretend she has endless free time. She doesn't wait for the perfect moment. She runs early, late, around kids, around work, around dinner, around life. Sometimes she gets 10km. Sometimes she gets 1km. But she keeps showing up. And for Rach, running is not just fitness. It's thinking time. It's processing time. It's self-care. It's discipline. It's a way to be a better mum, wife, friend, and human. We talk about: growing up sporty, then drifting away from sport as a teenager becoming a hairdresser and working long days on her feet becoming a young mum IVF, miscarriage, grief, and healing giving up alcohol and choosing a different life for her family starting running with tiny morning runs the legendary $20 running pram running her first half marathon with the pram why she often runs alone fitting running around three kids, work, and family life communicating with her husband Pete so they both get time to run why she runs every day when she can - even if it's only 1km backyard ultras and why she loves the format learning from podcasts while running strength training, injury prevention, and respecting recovery showing her kids what is possible why mums need to stop seeing self-care as selfish her love of the ultra-running community why she doesn't need to compete with anyone else - she just wants to see what she can do Tips from Rach Rach shared some beautifully simple advice for runners, especially busy parents: 1. Start small You don't need to start with big distances. Rach started with 1.5km to 3km before work. Small runs still count. 2. Make it easy to get out the door One of the reasons running worked for Rach was because she didn't have to drive anywhere. She could roll out of bed, put her shoes on, and go. 3. Use what you have A $20 running pram helped Rach build consistency when Jada was tiny. You don't need everything to be perfect - you just need something that helps you start. 4. Communicate with your partner Rach and Pete talk the night before about what each of them needs for their run the next day. It's simple, but it means they can support each other instead of clashing. 5. Be flexible If you planned 10km but only have time for 5km, do the 5km. Don't throw the whole run away just because it can't be perfect. 6. Make running a non-negotiable Rach's point was simple - time doesn't magically appear. You need to decide that your run matters and make space for it. 7. Get creative with kids Kids can ride bikes while you run, play at the oval while you run laps, or join in where they can. It won't always look perfect, but it can work. 8. One kilometre can be enough Rach has a 1km block she can run when life is busy. It's not about fitness every time - sometimes it's about taking five minutes for yourself. 9. Strength matters Rach admits she would always choose running over strength, but trail running and backyard ultras have shown her how important strength work is. 10. Self-care is not selfish This was one of the biggest themes of the episode. Rach believes running has made her more “selfish” in the best possible way - because taking care of herself helps her show up better everywhere else. Favourite idea from the episode You don't need more hours in the day to become a runner. You need to decide that your wellbeing matters enough to take a small slice of the day back for yourself. Sometimes that's a long run. Sometimes that's a backyard ultra. And sometimes it's one kilometre around the block. It all counts.

Submit your writing win to the Courage Files for Season 4!What keeps a writer going through fifteen years of rewrites, rejection, and uncertainty?Middle-grade author Sara F. Shacter joins me to talk about the long journey behind her debut novel, Georgia Watson and the 99% Campaign, and how revision became less about “fixing” the story and more about uncovering its emotional heart.We discuss resilience, imposter syndrome, comparison, and the challenge of staying connected to joy while navigating the publishing process. Sara also shares practical revision strategies, the importance of community, and why progress—not perfection—is what really moves a writing life forward.If you're stuck in the messy middle of revision or questioning whether your story is worth continuing, this episode is a reminder that persistence matters more than getting it right the first time.Timestamps00:00 – Why Revision Matters10:09 – The Premise of Georgia Watson and the 99% Campaign13:48 – The 15-Year Road to Publication22:23 – Revision Tools and Strategies26:49 – Doubt, Comparison, and Staying the Course31:52 – Making Time to Write35:44 – Identity Beyond Publishing40:44 – Progress Over Perfection44:07 – Current Projects and Where to Find Sarah To connect with Sara and read her debut novel, go to her websiteLinks Mentioned: SCBWI: Society of Book Writers and IllustratorsHave a comment or idea about the show?

In Episode 284 of the Defend, Publish, and Lead podcast, host Christine Tulley interviews productivity author Laura Vanderkam about her newly released book Big Time. In this book, Vanderkam centers on the idea of viewing time as abundant rather than scarce. She introduces the concept of "golden hours", the four to five hours between work and bedtime on weeknights,  arguing that these underutilized stretches can be reclaimed for rejuvenation, socializing, and personal enjoyment rather than defaulting to doomscrolling. She also encourages academics to think in weeks (168 hours) rather than days, since the full week reveals far more available time than any single 24-hour period suggests. For academics juggling increasingly fragmented schedules — more classes, more committees, more email — Vanderkam offers three core strategies: track your time for a full week to see where it actually goes, set aside a dedicated weekly planning session to assign priorities to specific time slots, and always identify a backup research block in advance so that when life inevitably intervenes, progress doesn't grind to a halt. Tulley connects these ideas to the challenges of carving out scholarly writing time, and the conversation closes with Vanderkam emphasizing that time tracking isn't about self-judgment, but about ensuring the stories we tell ourselves about our time actually match reality.

Writing a book is one of the most overlooked thought leadership moves a female founder can make, and most people go into it completely unprepared.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Ruthie Ackerman, author of The Mother Code and founder of Ignite Writers Collective, about what it actually takes to write and publish a book. Ruthie spent years as a journalist and deputy editor at Forbes Women before losing her job, starting a business, and landing a Random House book deal. Now she helps women in business find their voice on the page, and she's honest about how hard the process is.The publishing world has a glamour problem. Most people picture the finished book, not the 90-page proposal, the years of revision, or the media outreach that a publisher will not do for you. Ruthie lays out what female founders need to know before they commit, including how to choose the right publishing path, what a real publicity strategy looks like, and why treating your book like a business launch is the only approach that works.For anyone building a personal brand and wondering whether a book belongs in that plan, Ruthie also speaks directly to the PR for small business reality. Getting press, landing speaking opportunities, and reaching the right audiences all require the same intentionality you bring to every other part of your business. A book done right is a long-term thought leadership asset, not a project you finish and walk away from.If your story has been sitting in the back of your mind waiting for the right moment, this episode is worth your time.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Thought Leadership Starts With Your Story03:51 Ruthie Ackerman's Path From Forbes to Random House05:59 Getting Laid Off and Launching Ignite Writers Collective08:21 How Ignite Writers Collective Grew During the Pandemic10:35 Starting a Book Three Months After Having a Baby12:08 Five Questions to Ask Before You Write a Book13:57 Traditional Publishing vs. Self-Publishing vs. Hybrid15:50 What a 90-Page Book Proposal Actually Looks Like18:35 Why Authors Have to Be Their Own Marketers20:07 Three Tips for Making Time to Write22:08 What Not to Do When Writing a Book24:10 How to Find a Literary Agent26:41 All the Hats You Have to Wear as an Author28:55 How Ignite Studios Supports Authors End-to-End32:11 Ruthie's Three Actionable Steps for Aspiring AuthorsConnect with Ruthie Ackerman:Follow Ruthie on Instagram Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

In this episode host Christine Tulley builds on Episode 281 to walk listeners through the transition from finishing one writing project to launching the next. She introduces the idea of thinking in two buckets: short-term, temporary projects (like an upcoming conference presentation) and the next substantive writing project, and shows how she maps both onto a Summer 2026 Project Progress Tracker used in her accountability group. Using her own situation as a live example — a TAA Summer Institute presentation due June 13th followed by a long-neglected, half-finished article she's committed to completing by early August — she emphasizes that the transition period between projects is critical and often underestimated. Key advice includes using a tool like PenZu to jot orientation notes before diving in, locating all project files and scattered materials in advance so that valuable writing time isn't lost to hunting, and allowing ideas for the next project to quietly percolate before the official start date. She closes with a reminder about the TAA Summer Institute on June 12–13, highlighting her own mid-career writing lab, a session for new and aspiring authors led by Dr. Pat Goodson, and a keynote by Brian Alexander on how the AI revolution is reshaping academic and textbook publishing.  Resources Mentioned Join our Summer 2026 Writing Accountability Group.

Seminary Update and Book Reviews: Women in Leadership, Political Exile, and Healing or Harm from Misused Scripture Diana shares an update on her seminary studies toward a Master of Divinity to become a hospital chaplain. She explains why she has not republished older episodes and then recommends three books: Preston Sprinkle's From Genesis to Junia, which she is midway through and says is readable yet scholarly on what the Bible says about women in leadership, highlighting many biblical women and themes of servant leadership; Sprinkle's Exiles, on Christians' identity as foreigners whose allegiance is to King Jesus rather than partisan politics; and Dr. Steven Tracy's To Heal Or Harm, focused on how misused scripture can wound abuse survivors and how to apply the Bible redemptively.  00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:33 Life Update and School 06:09 Colorado Conference Plug 07:12 Making Time to Read 08:26 Book Review Genesis to Junia 12:18 Women Leaders in Scripture 22:49 Book Review Exiles 28:04 Book Review To Heal Or Harm 34:22 Mending the Soul Mission 36:43 Wrap Up and Resources 38:57 Closing and Subscribe

Patience Series Ep 2: Making Time for your Children while making time for yourself  Angel Santana walks listeners through the honest, messy reality of parenting—work, bills, sports, and the constant tug-of-war between being present and simply surviving. Through intimate anecdotes, gentle humor, and a powerful reminder that even Christ paused to rest, Angel exposes the invisible pressure parents carry and offers small, practical ways to reclaim peace—those quiet sips of coffee, ten minutes of music, a walk with the dog—that refill the spirit and protect the family from burnout. By the end, you'll feel permission to breathe, a renewed sense of grace, and a prayerful send-off that turns exhaustion into a beginning: show up, be healthy, and let faith lead the way.

Your revenue team doesn't have a tools problem. It has a process problem. Dan Knowlton, co-founder of UK-based Knowlton Marketing, joins Mike Allton for an honest, boots-on-the-ground conversation about what's actually working in AI implementation - and what isn't. No polished frameworks. No hype. Just real lessons from an agency owner who is figuring this out in real time while growing a business. In this episode, Dan shares how his team recently won a pitch with one of Europe's largest health and wellness brands - not because they were the most creative, but because AI caught every objection the prospect raised in the discovery call. Objections that would have been missed with manual notes. You'll learn how to stop chasing shiny AI tools and start asking the one question that separates useful technology from expensive distraction. Dan also breaks down how to identify which workflows should be handed to AI, where human experience is irreplaceable, and how to run a simple calendar audit that surfaces hours of recoverable time in your team's week. If your AI pilots keep stalling, this episode will show you why - and where to start instead.

One of the defining traits of humans is that we are social creatures, and yet, how often to you prioritize quality time with people who matter to you? Self-care is defined as doing activities that make you feel good physically, emotionally, mentally, and quality time with people who matter to you is part of that. In this episode I give you a handful of ways to make sure you are making time for people you care about and one final tip about how to make space for this.

If you've been telling yourself you'd pursue your creative passions if you just had more time — this episode is going to gently challenge that story.Because for most people, figuring out how to make time for creativity isn't really a scheduling problem. It's a permission problem. One that's been quietly reinforced by years of putting everyone else's needs first, until your own creative life is running on whatever's left over — which is usually nothing.I'm getting personal in this one, sharing how I've finished big creative projects in just thirty minutes a day, why my family treats creative time as non-negotiable, and the specific strategies that keep creative work from getting swallowed by the logistical demands of a full life — including batching household tasks, separating the creator from the editor, and building small daily habits that prioritize consistency over marathon sessions.This episode is for anyone who feels that low-grade grief of a creative life going unmet — and wants something more useful than "wake up earlier."Your creativity is not a luxury. This episode will remind you why.

Making Time for Your Next Chapter — mitchmatthews.com/time (free with code H2LEADERSHIP) In this episode, Alan Briggs sits down with Mitch Matthews — coach, speaker, and host of the Dream Think Do podcast — for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like two coaches getting honest with each other over coffee. Mitch is the CEO of a training organization focused on helping executives, entrepreneurs, and founders define what success actually means to them — and then build a plan to go after it. What unfolds is a wide-ranging, practical, and genuinely fun dialogue about dreams, the questions that unlock them, the questions that shut people down, and what it looks like to lead well in a moment of historic change. If you've ever locked up when someone asked you what your big dream is — or if you've watched someone else lock up when you asked them — this episode is going to reframe how you think about that conversation entirely. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Mitch's origin story — from a 12-year-old loitering at a bike shop in Iowa to discovering his life's calling at a Schwinn Selling School at 14 Why Mitch calls his work "success coaching" instead of life or executive coaching — and why that distinction matters The Dream Think Do framework — why dreaming has to come before thinking, and why most people start strategizing too early Why the question "what's your big dream?" actually shuts people down — and the better questions to ask instead The power of the word "might" — and how one small word change opens up possibilities that pressure closes off What semantic interference is and why it matters for every leader, coach, mentor, and manager in the room The story of the first Big Dream Gathering — how a product nightmare in 2006 became a movement now happening on college campuses and corporate retreats across the country Why dreams have seasons — and how to tell the difference between a dream that isn't right and a dream that just isn't right yet How the best leaders are navigating AI — standing in the tension of what's scary and what's possible at the same time Why AI is actually making people hunger for real human connection — and what that means for coaches and leaders Alan and Mitch coach each other live on the question "what do you want?" — and what makes a great clarifying question great Reflection Questions: What's something you want to experience more often — and what would it take to give yourself permission to pursue it? Are you dreaming before you think, or are you jumping straight to strategy before you've given yourself enough space to imagine? Where in your leadership are you standing in the tension between what's scary and what's possible?
