πŸ’‘ Your calendar tells you the truth (Podcast 117)

πŸ•‘ 1 min Read

We all proudly name our values - family, health, learning, growth. But there’s a quieter autobiography we write every day: our calendar and our credit card bill. They don’t judge, they just reflect our choices. That reflection can be a powerful starting point for real change.

In my latest podcast episode, I explore:

️ βœ… Why your calendar is a mirror that reveals what you actually value

️ βœ… The gap between aspirational values and lived values

️ βœ… A simple, one-week time audit to see where your hours truly go

️ βœ… How to plan intentionally so your aspired values become real priorities

Two practical steps I cover (I use them with clients frequently!):

➑️ Review last month’s spending and classify it. What does it say you value?

➑️ Run a 7-day time audit. Track waking hours without changing anything. Then reflect honestly how you invest your discretionary time.

If you discover that work, screens, or β€œemergencies of the week” are crowding out, you’re not failing - you’ve just found your starting point. From there, timebox your real priorities first and build around them.

I’d love to hear what you think!
