I hear variations of "I'm a people pleaser" as people join a Bright Method program or, once they're in the program, variations of "I'm realizing I can't say yes to everything, and if I'm not that person, who am I?" Let's talk about it – and three points for those who related to that.

If you want to join my free Jan. 29, 2026 workshop (or get the replay, which is available for 48 hours after it), jump in here.

When I was struggling with time management, I had a lightbulb moment that traditional time management advice wasn't built for me. And the Bright Method, I believe, fills that gap.

A few years ago, I listened to this podcast episode from the Atlantic, How to Spend Time on What You Value, after a client sent it to me. You can listen here on Apple and here on Spotify.

Let's talk about how our egos can lead us to pursue things that don't always align with what we say is most important to us and/or leads us away from what would actually make us happy.

This is NOT to say we shouldn't have ambition or go after full careers. Not at all - I personally am very ambitious and support women going after high-powered careers. Just make sure it's what you truly want and fits with the life you want for yourself. Let's discuss!

I recently got three questions that share common thread: isn't calendaring like we do in the Bright Method overwhelming? Summarized in my words:

• Is time-blocking your personal life overwhelming?
• Doesn't this lead to a daily long list of too many alerts?
• Doesn't having to move too many boxes when time blocks hit get old?

Let's dig into each.
