There are hundreds of ways of managing our time; pomodoro techniques, time blocking etc and in many cases when we get our heads around them and in a routine they can work well. However, more often than not we start well but struggle to maintain them over time. This is ironically because life has a habit of getting in the way.
We each face myriad pulls on our focus, attention and time, but for some, what underlies our struggle to maintain time management routines, is our relationship with other people. If we have people pleasing tendencies, then with the best will in the world we may struggle to boundary our time, because as with most of our other boundaries, we have difficulty in holding them in a way that sustains us.
In this episode I explore this issue and provide some suggestions on how to help create time boundaries that work.
