Many women feel overwhelmed and exhausted — yet when they look at their to-do list, it doesn’t seem that long. So what’s really draining our energy?
In this episode of Got Clutter? Get Organized!, Janet M. Taylor sits down with time management expert and podcast host Megan Sumrell to discuss why traditional planning systems often fail women and how to create a system that actually works with real life.
Megan shares how years of working in IT and consulting led her to develop a new framework for managing time while balancing careers, caregiving, family life, and personal priorities.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why women experience constant “context switching” and how it drains mental energy
• The hidden ways overcommitment creeps into our lives
• How people-pleasing contributes to burnout
• Why traditional planning systems often don’t work for women
• What a time audit is and how it helps reclaim control of your schedule
• How to create an uncertainty budget for unexpected life events
• Why recurring tasks should be part of your planning system
• Practical strategies to manage time through different seasons of life
If you’re juggling multiple roles — professional, caregiver, partner, parent, or entrepreneur — this episode will help you rethink how you manage your time and create a planning system that supports the life you actually live.
