60 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #7: Focusing on Sleep With Time Budgeting

Recently our two little dogs Mochi and Beansprout have been burning the candle at both ends. No matter how late at night I take them out for their last bathroom visit, they still wake me up between 5:45 and 6:15 in the morning for another trip. It’s left me feeling oddly disconnected when I start my work for the day, almost as though my brain is struggling to get into gear.I’ve had many times in my career where pressure of work has caused me to compromise on sleep. Then one of my coachees introduced me to the idea of time budgeting. She allocates her time through the week to all the activities she needs to do, including sleeping and self-care, and she leaves some in reserve for those unexpected things that always crop up. It’s helped her to regain control of her schedule.--Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD: https://garycrotaz.com The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — master interviewer, executive coach and author.
