36. Taking Back Your Free Time with Jenny Blake

from Electric Ideas with Whitney Baker: Motherhood, Self-Connection, Joyful Living & Self-Care · host Whitney Baker

When we're constantly drowning in busy work – or tasks that don't light us up – it's impossible to create at the highest level. All of us want to share our gifts and talents with the world, but it's hard to do when our time gets splintered in ways that don't align. In today's episode, I talk with systems expert and writer Jenny Blake about her award-winning book: Free Time: Lose the Busy Work. Jenny loves helping people move from friction to flow through practices that free your mind and time for your best work. Jenny shares with us why high net freedom is more important than high net worth, and how to identify and release your biggest friction points. Additionally, we discuss how to let go of things that are draining you, nonlinear breakthroughs and the different versions of hard work. We would love to know what strategies you'll try out for shifting from friction to flow. Share today's episode on Instagram and be sure to tag us - @jennyblakenyc and @whitneywoman!
