Intentional Living This Fall: Resetting Your Routine
Episode 467
It’s September—the “January of Fall”! In this energizing and relatable episode, Heather Creekmore welcomes productivity and balance expert Leah Remillet to talk all about busyness, productivity traps, and how to refocus on what truly matters as routines pick up and our schedules start to fill.
Episode Highlights:
-
September as a Fresh Start:
Heather and Leah discuss why September often feels like a more realistic time for fresh starts than January, especially for women who manage families and homes. -
Busyness vs. Productivity:
Leah shares what it really means to be productive, and why being “busy” doesn’t always correspond to truly living or achieving your goals. -
The "Why" Behind Your Hustle:
Discover Leah’s favorite foundational exercise: asking yourself “why” five times to get to the heart of what you want most out of your time and activities. The deeper you go, the more clarity you’ll have for setting up a life you genuinely love. -
Distraction Cycles & Phone Habits:
From endless scrolling to notifications, hear practical tips to reclaim your focus—starting with Leah’s real-life suggestions, like removing distracting apps or setting boundaries on tech use (even her 80-year-old dad is joining in!). -
The Power of Incremental Change:
Both Heather and Leah reflect on how going “all-in” doesn’t last. Real, lasting change is about taking small, sustainable steps—embracing the wisdom of the tortoise, not the hare. -
Making White Space & Rest Guilt-Free:
If sitting still makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone! Hear about Leah’s journey towards valuing unstructured time, how she learned to let go of productivity guilt, and why we all need more “white space” on our calendars to really be present. -
The Default Settings of Our Lives:
Leah encourages listeners to treat their routines like they would a new device—customize the default settings with intention! She and Heather provide practical ideas for planning, creating rest, and finding your own version of a “mini vacation” every day.
