Ep 7: Aim for Work + Life Harmony, NOT Balance

Everyone is searching for ways to increase their productivity and to be honest there are many ridiculous ideas floating around. So many “gurus” encourage you to go faster, work harder, and just do more. *eye roll* I really like to flip the idea of productivity on its head by asking, “how can we be our best at everything by doing less?”Productivity to me is simply getting the most important things done in a way that does not stress you out.  And the best part is that you get to decide what is most important to you. You’re in control of your productivity and you can do it in a way that feels good to you and doesn’t leave you feeling overwhelmed and rattled.________________________________Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony?JOIN THE TOP PROGRAM:www.thetopprogram.com________________________________Thanks for tuning in!Megan 💕🐝www.megansumrell.comwww.instagram.com/megansumrellhttps://www.youtube.com/@the_pink_beewww.linkedin.com/in/msumrell

I’m happy to share my mom with you in this episode! She’s truly the best and I couldn’t think of anyone better to share about my transformation and how I was as a child. If you’re thinking, “I’m way too disorganized and lost to learn this.” I can promise you that it’s just not true. When I asked my mom if I was naturally organized, she said I did have an organized child but it wasn’t you. Ha! Maybe my sister did have an edge on me as a kid. I am pleased to announce that because of the systems that I teach and personally use, I am no longer the epic procrastinator that I was before.But I'm human and are there days where I'm like, “I don't want to scrub my bathroom?” Of course, there are. But here's what a game-changer in this program is. I know what strategies I need to put in place to help me avoid a tendency to lean into procrastination________________________________Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony?JOIN THE TOP PROGRAM:www.thetopprogram.com________________________________Thanks for tuning in!Megan 💕🐝www.megansumrell.comwww.instagram.com/megansumrellhttps://www.youtube.com/@the_pink_beewww.linkedin.com/in/msumrell

When people hear the word “systems” it can be a turn-off. Systems sound complicated, complex, and confusing. But I promise it can be 100% the opposite! The systems inside The TOP Program are specifically designed to make life easier for you. In this episode:I’m going to reframe systems so that they’re easy to understandI will explain how I’ve created formulas to help you create the right schedule for you and your familyYou will learn how you can use these systems in other areas of your life (I even have a system for paper clutter!)The ideal organization methods change for each person and spoiler alert, it doesn't just mean you have a clean desk. It starts with organizing your thoughts! And this is where these formulas come in and impact every area of your life. ________________________________Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony?JOIN THE TOP PROGRAM:www.thetopprogram.com________________________________Thanks for tuning in!Megan 💕🐝www.megansumrell.comwww.instagram.com/megansumrellhttps://www.youtube.com/@the_pink_beewww.linkedin.com/in/msumrell

In this episode, we’re digging deeper into the concept of work+life harmony and how it can be achieved.  You’ll notice I don’t use the term balance. Usually, as women, it’s a lot more complicated than balancing two things and giving them equal attention at the same time.  I want you to think, are you trying to balance everything at the same time? Are you trying to fit everything in and give it all your equal attention? If you’re constantly feeling exhausted and stretched too thin you need to aim for harmony and kick that balance word out of your vocabulary!________________________________Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony?JOIN THE TOP PROGRAM:www.thetopprogram.com________________________________Thanks for tuning in!Megan 💕🐝www.megansumrell.comwww.instagram.com/megansumrellhttps://www.youtube.com/@the_pink_beewww.linkedin.com/in/msumrell

In this episode, I’m going to introduce you to one of my clients, Jodie.

In this episode, you’re going to get to know one of my clients, Leah. She was a reluctant stay-at-home mom when she joined The TOP Program and has since started her own business helping other moms. When she first started the program she described life as feeling like she was on a constant hamster wheel. She didn’t have any structure in her day and didn’t even know what structure should look like with two young children. She was struggling emotionally and fighting to get anything done. Life was controlling her, definitely not the other way around. After ditching old methods to try to get organized, she’s adopted the systems and tools in The TOP Program and has seen (and FELT) a major shift in her day-to-day living. I’m excited to have you listen in on Leah’s transformation and what she’s achieved!________________________________Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony?JOIN THE TOP PROGRAM:www.thetopprogram.com________________________________Thanks for tuning in!Megan 💕🐝www.megansumrell.comwww.instagram.com/megansumrellhttps://www.youtube.com/@the_pink_beewww.linkedin.com/in/msumrell

Let’s start with what time management is NOT. It doesn’t mean that every minute of every day is scheduled. It also doesn’t mean that you do the same thing every day or week. It’s not so rigid that you can’t change plans or be flexiblePeople resist the idea of time management because of these preconceived notions. It’s not about getting the most done. It’s about using your time well and in a way that serves you. You are the ultimate decision-maker over your calendar. You will be setting up the right structure and boundaries so that you can have flexibility so that you can have freedom. I want to be able to call you two months from now and I ask you, “Hey, what did you do for fun this week?” and you're going to be able to give me an answer and you will have done it guilt-free. ________________________________Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony?JOIN THE TOP PROGRAM:www.thetopprogram.com________________________________Thanks for tuning in!Megan 💕🐝www.megansumrell.comwww.instagram.com/megansumrellhttps://www.youtube.com/@the_pink_beewww.linkedin.com/in/msumrell

Have you thought that maybe if you just woke up earlier, stayed up later, or hustled a little more you would be more productive? I promise you that none of those techniques are sustainable or even work. Being busy doesn’t equal productivity. You could easily fill up your days running around as fast as you can doing all the tasks…And after weeks still not be productive in what matters most to you. Productivity is really about doing the right tasks, in the right order, and in the most efficient way possible. If you…Constantly feel the need to multi-taskFeel like your schedule runs youHave a planner graveyard in your houseThis episode is for you! ________________________________Are you ready to start your journey to Work+Life Harmony?JOIN THE TOP PROGRAM:www.thetopprogram.com________________________________Thanks for tuning in!Megan 💕🐝www.megansumrell.comwww.instagram.com/megansumrellhttps://www.youtube.com/@the_pink_beewww.linkedin.com/in/msumrell
