8. How to shift your perspective and mindset to create more time and less stress

You want more time. More time to go to the gym. To sleep. To have a cup of tea and sit in the quiet at the end of the day. 

 

Here’s the truth: it’s not a “strategy” problem.


You don’t need one more tip, or hack, or technique. 

 

Yup, I see you and I know YOU KNOW that all it takes it to pour some hot water in a cup and sit your butt on the couch. 

 

And yet, you don't do it. 

 

This is why it’s time to look at and change your mindset and your habits.  

 

Does everything in your life feel urgent and out of balance? 


Would you like to be able to write new stories that allow you take charge of your time, your energy, your life… your success… and your dreams?

Lisa’s Favourite Time Management Books:  




Here are some fantastic books to get you started on your personal quest for time management. 

While few of these resources address the whole picture (who you are, what season of life you’re in, what capacity you have, the size of the goals you’re working on, your mindset, any people pleasing/perfectionism/overachieving tendencies) —  but they are still great reads.
