006: MYTH: I don't have enough time

“Just because you can do anything doesn't mean you can do everything. Taking on the attitude of being able to do anything can lead to stacking your plate too full. And soon, you have too much to do, and you don't have enough time.” - Elise Enriquez

Welcome to the Productivity Breakthrough Podcast with Elise Enriquez. Today I tackle another productivity myth, “I have too much to do and not enough time to do it.” This limiting belief is such a tricky one because it's definitely not a helpful thought, but it happens to be true. Let’s dive into why you shouldn’t do everything, even if you can do anything.

Key Quotes:

 “If ‘I don't have enough time,’ Is the myth, then the truth that's more helpful is that anxiety comes from not knowing what's not getting done.” - Elise Enriquez 

“You have to get it all into one place, into a system. I call mine my Bonus Brain, but it can just be a list on a piece of paper or in a spreadsheet. So that way you can see what you truly have on your plate, how much time you have, you can see all the commitments, all the projects. Then you can consciously and intentionally decide how to allocate your time and you can prioritize what matters most to you right now.” - Elise Enriquez

What is The Productivity Shift?

Have you ever noticed how most productivity advice doesn’t work for women?

That’s because you’re not a man who has a spouse at home who takes care of all the things. You’re juggling your business, your career, and your family. It’s a lot, and no wonder why things slip through the cracks despite your best intentions to get it all done.

When you treat everything as an urgent priority, you lose all sense of what truly matters. This podcast is here to help you change all of that. One week at a time.

Unlike other shows about productivity, only The Productivity Shift helps women in charge (in their biz, at work, at home, etc) take back their time and use it to make progress on what matters most to them.

Each week, Elise Enriquez, a productivity dork and certified life coach, guides you to redefine what productivity is to you. You’ll get strategies and insights you can implement right away. Lighten your load and focus on what’s most important so you can create a life and business that is meaningful to you.
