Why Divorced Dads Stay Overwhelmed — The Time Audit That Puts You Back on Offense

from Divorced Dads of America: The Rebuild · host Anthony Thompson, Founder of Divorced Dads of America

Show me your calendar and I'll tell you what you actually value. Not what you say you value. What your time is actually going toward. For most divorced dads the calendar has work and maybe the gym — and everything else is whatever is left over after the day takes what it wants. That is called playing defense. And it is why so many capable, disciplined divorced dads stay stuck.
