I appreciate how you said we do not have to give our time to others who try to steal it, Courtney. AND that we get to travel every day, in our heads. What a refreshing perspective! I think this topic has a lot to do with setting boundaries, which has a lot to do with self-awareness as our foundation. If we don't know what we need, we can't communicate that to others who request something of us, including our time.

Love the point you make here about self-awareness. It's impossible to be proactive without some introspection.

I appreciated this interview, Courtney. I especially enjoyed the emphasis on cultivating consistency and shaping an approach to time management based on how you work best at various times of day, etc. I will be very curious to read your follow up next week!
