Not Dead Yet: Time Management for Busy Lives with Georgie Bryant
Manage episode 489812065 series 3487399
In today’s episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy is joined by special guest Georgie Bryant, a mom, coach, and creator of the “Not Dead Yet” Time Management Program. Georgie opens up about how becoming a mom tested every time management skill she had—and how she was forced to update her tools and mindset to keep up with the chaos.
This conversation is for moms—and anyone with a demanding or unpredictable schedule—who feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities. Georgie shares how to rewire your mind and reset your nervous system so you can regain control over your time and create the space you need to feel fully alive.
🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why we often exaggerate how “busy” we are using words like never, every, or all the time
- How your nervous system reacts to pressure—and how calming it changes everything
- The surprising value of tracking your time for a day or week
- How to plan for interruptions (instead of being derailed by them)
- Why batching tasks can save your sanity
- How to define your top 5 life priorities and align your calendar with what matters most
- What to do when tasks feel too big or when your to-do list is overflowing
- The power of daily and weekly reflections to continuously improve your time strategy
🛠️ Time Management Tools Georgie Recommends:
- Time Tracking: Take inventory of how you actually spend your time.
- Pattern Recognition: Identify what’s consistent and what tends to disrupt your flow.
- Plan for Interruptions: Anticipate distractions and create a calm response plan.
- Nervous System Check-Ins: Notice physical and emotional signals when under pressure.
- Weekly Planning Ritual: Choose a day to map out your week and priorities.
- Calendar Integration: Schedule your to-dos into real time slots.
- Batch Similar Tasks: Group related activities to avoid constant context-switching.
- Priority Alignment: Compare your top values with your actual daily actions.
- Retrospective Reflection: Review what worked, what didn’t, and what you’ll change.
❤️ Key Takeaway from Georgie:
“You’re not dead yet. So stop living like you are.”
Whether you’re a parent juggling the mental load or someone with a constantly shifting schedule, this episode will empower you to create a more peaceful, purposeful rhythm to your days.
