Chuck out your to-do list! Organisational coach Emma Stonham’s advice for a happier life is to stop trying to add more to your busy day and start delegating the tasks you can.
Emma joins Elizabeth for this fun live chat to share her professional insights on getting more out of our day without getting frazzled and burnt out. Like many of us, Emma experienced intense feelings of being overwhelmed during the COVID-19 pandemic and decided to change her life. She went full-time with her company, The Organised Co., where she teaches people the systems and strategies to be sustainably productive, organised and happy.
Emma shares some top tips with Elizabeth, including how to determine which tasks to delegate and how to use time blocking to become more efficient. She also explains how you can use your schedule to align your life more closely with your values and goals, so you can live the kind of life you want.
This live video is full of great advice. It includes information about Emma’s free downloadable resources to kick-start your organisational journey, as well as her Facebook group, which provides advice and support for families.
