Everything in Time with Kate Sauser

from Growing the Future · host Kate Sauser, Dan Aberhart

The person everyone asks how they do it all is usually the last person to have a tidy answer. Kate Sauser is a policy manager at Grain Growers of Canada, a fifth-generation farmer from Churchbridge, SK, a high-level hockey referee, a competitive softball player, and a master's student finishing her thesis, all at 25. In this conversation, she shares the three-part framework behind her course on time: the problem most operators carry but rarely name out loud, the single decision that changes how the whole calendar feels, and the practical moves that make it work week to week.   Topics and Timestamps 0:00 -- Pre-registration responses: what does "I don't have time" actually mean? 1:00 -- Live intro: "How Does She Do It All?" and platform housekeeping 3:00 -- Kate's background: family farm near Churchbridge, Grain Growers, U of S, hockey, softball, 25 6:00 -- The over-committer's honest answer: time is relative to what you decide to do with it 9:00 -- Live poll: which of these sounds like your week? 11:00 -- Why technology makes the time problem worse before it makes it better 12:00 -- Kate's daily to-do list system: schedule blocks, high-priority vs. rolling low-priority tasks 14:00 -- Pen to paper: why writing it down works better than any app 15:00 -- "Everyone gets angry at time but doesn't work with it" -- the shift that started everything 16:00 -- The $86,400 analogy: if you had that many dollars to spend today, would you waste it? 18:00 -- The "Everything in Time" tattoo and the philosophy behind it 19:00 -- Modern myths about time and the scarcity loop they reinforce 21:00 -- Harry Siemens on day-timers, five priorities, and why four and five often disappear by noon 22:00 -- Hard stops and focused blocks: how Kate finished her master's thesis 25:00 -- ADHD, late diagnosis at 23, and the paralysis that comes before the system 31:00 -- Is ADHD a disability or a superpower?

Kate Sauser, 25, shows up on paper as someone who shouldn't have time for anything: policy manager at Grain Growers of Canada, teaching at the University of Saskatchewan, refereeing high-level hockey, playing competitive softball, helping on the family farm near Churchbridge. The room invited her because they keep asking how she does it all. Her answer is practical and honest: she doesn't have a secret, she has a system, and she has ADHD, which she discusses openly as both a challenge and a driver. The conversation walks through the problem (the over-committer's loop), the decision (working with time or against it), and the practice (to-do lists, hard stops, calendar discipline, habit stacking), and closes with a live exercise asking the audience whether they spent yesterday or let it happen to them.
