REDEEM Her Time | Christian Time Management, Business Productivity, Time Management Daily Planner, Time Management Coaching

Hey CEO- Today we’re gonna talk about trying to manage time and I’m just gonna come out and say it…Managing anything (especially time) is a myth. True story: when my husband was deployed, I was the one left at home trying to juggle all the balls—business, household, homeschooling, serving—as you can imagine, it was exhausting. I can still remember that day when my daughter was young enough to be on my hip and I was standing on the stairs, feeling like no matter how much I tried to manage it all, I was constantly dropping all the balls. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and on the brink of burnout.And I remember crying out, “God, I can’t do this on my own.”  It was in those moments of struggle that I learned some of the most valuable lessons about time management and relying on God’s strength rather than my own.Now, here’s the kicker: in trying to manage my time better, I was actually wasting it! Sounds crazy, right? But what if I told you that many of the strategies we use to try and control our time can actually end up being counterproductive and waste our time instead?If you’ve ever felt like you’re just not doing a good job at managing it all (and should be better managing your time), I wanna invite you to listen in to this last of our 4-part series on How to Get Back Hours in your Day as an Entrepreneur series…cuz we’re gonna bust the myth of your need to try to manage it all and discover the solution God invites His daughters to instead. WARNING: This episode could change EVERYTHING for you!I pray this blesses, challenges and moves you to action!Come join the conversation (+ implementation) afterwards inside the REDEEM Her Time CommunityGrab your spot (+ 2 FREE GIFTS) for the FIND THE TIME CHALLENGE here https://redeemhertime.com/timeYOU.

Hey CEO, Today I want to start with a simple question: Do you think you can do 2 things at once…and do both WELL? Often, we as business owners who also have a home or family or other responsibilities to manage pride ourselves on being able to do all-the-things all at the same time, right? We THINK that multitasking is our superpower…but actually it’s our kryptonite. You might be able to walk and chew gum, but outside of listening to a great podcast while you're getting ready for the day, driving, or cleaning up the kitchen, multitasking is only going to cost you more time and more of everything else because your focus is divided.  And I don’t know about you, but I wanna avoid wasting time in my day.So I invite you to lean in because today, on this third part of the 4-part series to Get Back Hours in your Day as an Entrepreneur, I’m gonna share with you why Multitasking is costing you time + the #1 Focusing Question you need to be asking every day so that you not only DON’T WASTE TIME trying to multitask, but instead HAVE TIME to invest in what matters most that’s in front of you in your Life or Biz. I pray this blesses, challenges and moves you to action!Grab your free Guide + Screensaver to Get Back Hours in your Day when you register for the FIND THE TIME CHALLENGECome join the conversation (+ implementation) afterwards inside the REDEEM Her Time CommunityYOU.

SUMMER HABIT SERIES #8Hey CEO- Are YOU having FUN this summer? Summer is the perfect season to make doing what you love with those you love a habit with all the opportunities it holds to get out of your office…road trips, beach days, picnics, family gatherings...Yet sadly it’s still easy to feel stuck behind a screen slaving away at your work in order to keep business growing while everyone else seems to be at the lake, pool or beach (at least that’s what their instagram feed shows)I gotta admit, for a long time, I DIDN’T have time for FUN…cuz there was just too much to do and too little time to run and scale my business.  But the truth was, I HAD TIME….I just wasn’t MAKING TIME to explore my passions and rediscover what I loved to do.

SUMMER HABIT SERIES #6Hey CEO- What thoughts come to mind when YOU think about money?  I know…Why do I ask when you’ve got plenty of other things on your mind this summer, and perhaps are seeing more going out than coming in with the costs of summer adding up and a potential decrease in business income? Because how you think leads to what you believe, feel and do…and before you know it, your results match your thoughts…yes, even when it comes to your money. Cuz you see, it’s not really about the balance in your bank account, but about what you make it mean…that’s why one person can look at a $100 bill in hand and see the abundance while another only sees the lack.Does that sound familiar?  It’s the same principle we talk about here on the REDEEM Her Time Podcast when we talk about our time and how our beliefs STEER our results. So no matter how much you have coming in or going out this summer, if you want to steward your finances well, you need to pay attention to what you’re believing about it... That’s why I’ve invited today’s guest, Amber Peterson of Amber Peterson Financial Coaching, to have a conversation around how to intentionally create your money mindset to steward your finances well.Amber Peterson is a wife to her sweetheart Zach of 19 years and a mother to 4 awesome kids. She is passionate about helping women and couples understand their money mindset, create growth, and build financial peace of mind. She has two books available to support women and their spouses about gaining clarity of what they believe about money and the role it takes in their financial reality.You’re gonna love her simple habit ideas that don’t just focus on the HOW-TOs, but on the KEYS  to help you intentionally build your money mindset this summer AND beyond… so no matter what number is in front of you, you see it as God’s abundance. And if you want to create the right mindset around your time to go from usually-never-enough to always-more-than-enough, you can now watch the Manage your Time Masterclass on demand. Grab access at redeemhertime.com/masterclass and start to shift everything about what you believe about your time…and what comes of it!Now let’s dive into being good stewards of the resources God’s entrusted to us…including your money. Grab Amber’s ebook Discovering your Money Mindset hereWe pray this blesses, challenges and moves you to action!XO- Lissa + AmberP.S.

SUMMER HABIT SERIES #5Hey CEO- What does your business look like this summer?  Better yet, what do you want this summer to be about so that you don’t get to the fall and regret that life took over business…or business took over life?Let’s be honest, summer is the season where there seem to be more invitations (and distractions) that pull you away from your desk…and while it may feel good in the moment to put it away, you don’t want to get to the end of the summer and not like what you see because you didn’t give your business much time and attention…And you certainly don’t want the opposite to be true, where you find you’ve missed out on those moments to engage with those you love, the Lord and yourself. No matter where your summer is taking you, if you want your business to grow, you need to pay attention to it... That’s why I’ve invited today’s guest, Heather Schaefer of Branding You Big, to have a conversation around how to model running a biz + prioritizing family all while enjoying the season!  Heather is a Branding Coach who serves multi-passionate, mission-minded women entrepreneurs with her gift of a unique left brain-right brain combination, which allows her to think strategically and creatively to build a cohesive brand that stands out in the sea of sameness. She is a Premier Success coach with EWomen Network, an expert trainer for Small Business Owners Collective, a speaker and a published author on betterafter50.com. I love that Heather encourages women to raise kids to love the Lord while modeling entrepreneurship so they can grow up to do BIG things…and that Business and life don’t have to be separate for women, but rather go together to create a brand that aligns with YOU.You’re gonna love her simple habit ideas to help you grow your business this summer…AND prioritize the other parts of your life as you start with the end in mind. Take Heather’s Branding Quiz here We pray this blesses, challenges and moves you to action!XO- Lissa + HeatherP.S.
