Time Management (Full Episode)

Ever feel like you need more hours in the day? Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle this common struggle in the 'Time Management' episode of the Relational Recovery podcast. Drawing from their experiences at The Refuge, they discuss how poor time management can lead to stress and anxiety, particularly for those in recovery. Wes opens up about his past struggles with time management and how a lack of planning left him in a constant state of emergency.

Austin shares his own journey towards establishing 'ruthless boundaries' with his time, highlighting the importance of prioritising and planning. The duo dives into the concept of survival mode, a state many people in recovery find themselves in. They explain how living reactively rather than proactively can create a chaotic life, making it harder to maintain sobriety. They stress the importance of identifying what’s within your control and addressing those areas first.

One of the standout moments is when Austin reflects on the need for intentionality: 'If you don't know where you're going, you might not get there'. This idea underpins their advice on setting clear goals and creating a plan to achieve them. They also discuss practical tips like using a calendar and writing down priorities for the week.

For those in The Refuge programme, time management isn’t just about filling free time but using it productively to build the life they want. Wes and Austin emphasise that good things don’t just happen; they require effort and intentionality over time. If you're looking to gain control over your schedule and reduce stress, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Ready to take control of your time and build the life you want?
