Episode 11: Managing Time and Energy in Midlife (Hacks Not Included)
In this episode, Morgan and Chris dive into the messy reality of time management in midlife — where the days fly by, the to-do list never ends, and energy is the real currency. They talk about procrastination, energy drains vs. energy boosts, and why routines help (but flexibility saves us). As kids get older and the "empty nest" looms, time feels even trickier — and loaded with big questions about purpose and identity.
They don’t promise solutions, but they do offer real talk, a few laughs, and some takeaways:
✔️ Be intentional with your time
✔️ Prioritize what fills you up
✔️ Practice saying no (without guilt)
✔️ Remember: time is not guaranteed
Ask yourself: What am I saying yes and no to this week?
