About the episode

I consider myself a bit of a Time Ninja – it's one of my favourite topics and special interest areas. In this episode I’ll outline my key time principles as well as my top tips and tools for maximising and conserving your time.

You’ll hear about micro-deadlines, peak periods, auditing and chunking diaries, as well as why you shouldn’t try to eat a whole

cake in one sitting. I am confident that if you implement just one piece of advice from this episode, you will carve out more time for you and your priorities.

In the episode I reference the following resources:

Ep 3 of The Rewriters podcast – How to rewrite your career story in 2021

How to beat the blank page in 4 easy steps

How to make the same impact at work in half the time

Welcome to this week’s Weekly Rewrite edition of The Rewriters podcast.

These are companion pieces to my newsletter 'The Weekly Rewrite' (out Wednesdays) - during the episodes I riff on the topic from that week's newsletter and share stories, additional resources and journal prompts.

This week is Are you making decisions for other people in your career?

During the episode I discuss:

• Why it is the biggest thing holding you back
• The importance of asking for what you want
• Why you shouldn’t be afraid of No

I share real life examples from my clients, friends and my own personal experience. I also share a journal prompt on the topic.
