[PLANNING] Saving Time, Energy, & Stress with Repetitive Eating 😋(aka: how I finally got a handle on my perimenopausal high cholesterol)

I used to be really unhealthy. At one point, a doctor asked me when was the last time I'd eaten a piece of raw fruit and I couldn't answer. It had been over a decade.

When I started on my health journey, I knew nothing about nutrition. Since then, I've found that one of the best ways to ensure I eat healthy is to eat repetitively. The side benefit of this is that it also saves me lots of time and energy. It also reduces decision fatigue which makes me feel less stressed. 😋

[PLANNING] Chronotypes: What are They and How They Impact Your Productivity🦁🐻🐺🐬

Your chronotype is the label that helps describe your ideal schedule in terms of sleep and work. I'm sure that this system is partially influenced by geography and culture, so I don't like to overly generalize, but when I speak about chronotypes to American audiences, I get a lot of affirmative head-nodding.

In this episode I explain how understanding your chronotype can help you lead a more productive (and dare I say it, happier?) day. 🦁🐻🐺🐬

[PLANNING] Make Invisible Work, Visible 👻

When I start working with someone on using a paper planner, I often notice that they neglect to make time for the many steps that don't have fixed date and time associated with them. I call all these steps the invisible work.

As a working mom, I don't have as much time as I used to for leisurely, 90-minute classes or three hours of squash, followed by weights, followed by leisurely swims in a pool (I can't believe that was my life!) Now I'm all about "sneaking" movement in because USE IT OR LOSE IT!
