335. The Missing Piece in My Time Management Journey & It Wasn't Another Productivity Hack

from Mom Wife Career Life | Time Management & Work-Life Balance for Working Moms, Mindset, Healthy Habits, Positive Parenting · host Kerri Patt - Work-Life Balance & Time Management Coach for Working Moms

Hi Mamas,  For years, I've taught the famous rocks, pebbles, and sand time management analogy.  Put the big rocks in first.  Then everything else fits around them.  But during a recent Sunday homily, I heard one sentence that completely changed the way I've thought about that lesson for years:  "The first big rock should be God."  That simple statement connected a puzzle piece I didn't even realize was missing.  In this episode, I'm sharing:  Why this episode almost became a Monday Mindset   The story that started with my college dorm assignment and reminded me to trust God's plan   My personal Sunday mantra:  "If I make time for God, God will make time for me."   How that mindset has changed my relationship with time   Why boundaries have become easier   Why I no longer believe everything depends on me   What faith looks like in our family   Why I believe faith is lived every day—not just inside a church building   The difference between being responsible... and believing you're responsible for everything   This is one of the most personal episodes I've ever shared, and my hope is simply that it encourages you to slow down, breathe, and remember that peace isn't found in doing more—it's found in letting go of what you were never meant to carry.  In This Episode We Cover  ✨ Why your to-do list isn't always the problem  ✨ The rocks, pebbles, and sand lesson that changed my perspective  ✨ How faith has influenced my time management journey  ✨ Why boundaries become easier when you stop trying to control everything  ✨ The difference between productivity and peace  ✨ Trusting the process when life doesn't go according to plan  ✨ Modeling faith instead of forcing it  ✨ Finding peace in busy seasons    👉 Come share what mindset shift helped you this week in  our free Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and help inspire other moms just like you!  ⭐ If this episode gave you a little boost, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify… your reviews help more amazing moms find the show! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  📌 Grab Your Freebies!  🔥 Boundaries Made Simple… guilt-free scripts, mindset shifts, and a “guilt-detox” checklist  💖 Goal Manifesting Planner … map your dreams with bite-size prompts  🥗 Stress Free Weeknight Dinners Guide… reclaim your evenings (and your sanity)  📱 Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide… ditch the scroll and win back precious minutes  🧹 Spring Cleaning Checklist… because clutter steals time, too  🎅Christmas Planning Guide… yes, early prep counts as self-care  💻ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms.. simply cut and paste  Want to connect with other amazing moms?  Join us in our Facebook group, Work-Life Balance For Working Moms, where we share tips, support, and inspiration every day!  ⏰ Ready for 1:1 support? ⏰  If you’re looking to get control of your schedule and make time for amazing family memories, book a FREE discovery call with me today!   Love & Light,   Kerri  Let's keep the conversation going.
