"Good things don't just happen by osmosis. You've got to work for them over a long period of time."
Ever feel like you're always chasing time? Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle this common struggle in the latest episode of Relational Recovery. They dive into the pitfalls of poor time management, especially for those battling addiction. The duo discusses how failing to plan can leave you in a perpetual state of stress and anxiety, which can trigger unhelpful coping mechanisms like substance use.
Wes candidly shares his journey from chaotic schedules to setting 'ruthless boundaries' to manage his time better. Austin brings a fresh perspective on how time management isn't just about filling up your calendar but prioritising what truly matters. He stresses the importance of knowing what direction you want your life to take, even if it means starting small by dedicating just 30 minutes a week to reflect on your goals.
The episode also offers practical advice, like using calendars and notebooks to jot down priorities, making it easier to navigate the chaos of daily life. The conversation takes a bold turn as they discuss the difference between rest and laziness, urging listeners to fill their time with meaningful activities rather than mindless scrolling or gaming. The message is clear: good things don't happen by accident; they require intentionality and effort.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their schedule or seeking to regain control over their life. By the end, you'll be inspired to take those first steps towards a more organised and fulfilling existence. So, what will you choose to do with your time today?
