2) Time: Block it! Mini-series

from Let's Go Mental! · host Barbara Cortella

How do you fit school, sport, friends, family, sleep, and everything else into your day without going crazy? In this episode, Barbara introduces the Big Rocks system — a simple but powerful way to set priorities and protect your time. You’ll learn how to: • Shift your mindset: time isn’t a clock, it’s a choice. • Choose your priorities so you don’t drown in distractions. • Protect your time with tools like Pomodoro and Timeboxing. • Find your MIT (Most Important Task). • Build a weekly system that frees energy, reduces guilt, and gives you more control.This episode is for athletes — but also for parents and anyone who wants to stop feeling “busy all the time” without moving forward.Key Takeaways • Big Rocks first. Put your non-negotiables (school, sport, sleep, eating) in place before everything else. • Not everything is important. If everything is important, nothing is important. • Time is a choice. Protect it with focus blocks and boundaries. • System > chaos. When you create structure, you gain more freedom.This Week’s Challenge 1. Do the Big Rock Exercise → list your rocks, pebbles, and sand. 2. Pick your daily MIT (Most Important Task): one school, one sport, one life. 3. Protect it with a time-box. 4. Share this system with your parents — plan your week together and see how priorities align.Contact me: [email protected] part of my Community
