Routine Reality Check: What You 'Have' to Do vs. What You 'Want' to Do [Episode 290]

Routine Reality Check: What You 'Have' to Do vs. What You 'Want' to Do [Episode 290]

Author: Eric and April Perry June 25, 2025 Duration: 16:19

Alia used to resist routines because it felt like there were too many things to do each day. Once she split her Routines List into two sections--the "must-do" and the "flexible" routines--she actually felt excited to complete the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly tasks on her list. This podcast is for you if you're ready to simplify your Routines List and feel this same sense of clarity and peace.
