## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with time management coach Anna Dearman Kornick for a fascinating conversation about why traditional productivity advice doesn't work for everyone. We explore how your personality influences the way you plan, make decisions, and manage your time, and why feeling overwhelmed has far less to do with your calendar than you might think. If you've ever felt like you're failing at time management, this episode will completely reframe the way you think about productivity, overwhelm, and creating a life that actually works for you. In this episode, we unpack: Why overwhelm is often the real problem. How your personality shapes the way you manage time. Practical tools to create mental capacity before tackling your to-do list. Why one-size-fits-all productivity systems often fail. Simple ways to build a schedule that works with your brain instead of against it.
