Hey Friend! Merry Christmas! We are in our final week of sharing some of my favorite books. 

This week we are diving into Chapter 7, Time: Finding Your Rhythm in a World of Overwhelm from my book, Breaking Busy: How to Find Peace and Purpose in a World of Crazy.

No one is living their life where they are not busy, right? We all have something to do, whether it is a work project, raising our kids, etc. 

Breaking Busy" gets into all the stuff in our lives, both the obvious and the hidden, that's just adding to our chaos and busyness. As we're gearing up for the new year, it's a great time to think about the year we want and how we want to feel. A big part of that? Looking at how we're spending our time. It's key for setting up a year that really feels good.

Make sure to stick around to the end to hear some practical tips and advice on setting boundaries on our time and live with more intentionality as we head into 2024.

Listen in on these audio chapters to hear: 

• How using a time diary changed my life and can change your life

• What is “ tyranny of the urgent” and how even Jesus set boundaries

• Choosing discomfort over resentment

• Practical tips on setting boundaries 

• What to take out and what to add in when it comes to time management.

Favorite quotes:

• “The truth is when you are successful, spiritually healthy, and emotionally healthy it benefits everybody.”
• we want to feel this next year, examining how we spend our time is really the key.”
• “The truth is that whether you are the manager of a home, CEO of a company, or a busy entrepreneur, your ability to be successful is equal to your physical and mental health and your ability to manage your time and energy.”
• “Instead we should be doing more activities that actually make us happy and help us grow into who we are meant to be. But we’re never going to get to those activities if we don’t first set our goals and our priorities.”
• “Make sure you spend time doing things that get you closer to your goals.”
• “Finding your rhythm and managing your time is about being proactive and leaving room for things in life that are the most important. We have to intentionally manage our calendars so we can give priority to the most important things.”
