Quotes

• “It’s really important to know how you work and then go from there. And honestly, it’s a lot of trial and error. I’m still trying new things and figuring out what works for me. And I feel like right now I’ve finally found something. I think it’s a lot of practice. I think it's practice and trial and error trying to find the right system for you. But it all starts with knowing yourself better and knowing the kind of person that you are.” (26:33 | Ronna Belinky)
• “I know that so many of us can learn so much on how to get shit done and to really be much more proactive to look at the things in our life—both work and personal—how to make those repeatable processes. I think that really is key... When you have a repeatable process, it makes things more efficient. It frees up time for you to do other things because work is very important and all of us love it, but we also need to make sure that we have the time to fill our cup.” (41:05 | Andrea Hecht) 
• “Don’t be too hard on yourself and know that the journey to becoming more productive and managing your time better takes time. There will be a lot of trial and error and a lot of practice.” (44:54 | Ronna Belinky) 
• “I talk a lot about that with people and my clients that you need to know your non-negotiables and be able to then prioritize that into your schedule. And if you are more efficient and can be more proactive, then you have time to slot those things into your schedule because if you’re not happy, none of the shit’s gonna get done.” (43:55 | Andrea Hecht)
