Better Time Management Isn't The Answer—Because It's Not The Problem

43. Fitting more in won't help you get more done.

Our problem isn’t time management—it’s prioritization. But to actually solve problems of priority, we do need to make the time to sift through what’s on our plate.

The Unobstructed Podcast: Episode 03

In this conversation, Rachael and I talk about the importance of creating space to do the work (ya know, instead of just talking about doing the work in back-to-back meetings).

Naturally, we do also touch on effective—and ineffective—time management strategies. But for the purposes of making time to prioritize and eliminate shit from your to-do list.

As someone with ADHD, I can tell you I’ve tried a million of those time management “hacks”…and while there’s a lot of fluff, there are actually some ways that do work (no, not just doing a calendar rain dance, hoping to fit everything in).

Rachael and I also talk openly about navigating workplace conflicts, building psychological safety, and the real impact of culture on productivity.

Ultimately, this episode emphasizes the need for self-governance and making your work visible…while managing expectations and communicating effectively in team dynamics.

And balancing work with personal time.

Oh, and conflict resolution.

Join the conversation and us know what you think.

onward.
