What if time management didn’t feel like a punishment? What if your planner sparked joy and actually worked for your creative, rebellious brain?
In this episode, I’m chatting with my real-life friend and creative powerhouse, Sarah Longfield - a facilitator, producer and creative business coach based in Glasgow. She's an unapologetic creative rebel who’s ditched traditional productivity tools for a more human, playful approach to time.
We dive into what it really looks like to honour your energy, your ideas and your rebellious little brain while still getting the important stuff done. Spoiler: her “FML” method might change your to-do list forever.
We’re talking creativity, time flexibility, working with your natural rhythm and putting all those toxic "shoulds" in the bin where they belong. If you’ve ever felt like traditional time management advice doesn’t work for you - this episode is a must.
Sarah also shares how her planning tools (including her weekly origami zine planner) bring more intention, beauty and actual fun into organising your week. It's nerdy and rebellious in the best way possible.
