Ever wondered how to stay on top of the digital declutter? In this week's episode, I'm going to guide you through five effective strategies that have transformed my digital life, from managing emails and digital photos to social media and data backups. Digital decluttering refers to the process of organizing and streamlining the digital aspects of our lives, including emails, files, photos, and tasks. It's a vital practice in our increasingly tech-driven world where the digital clutter can accumulate quickly, leading to stress and overwhelm. The digital realm's stress factor arises from the fact that, unlike physical clutter, we often don't see it until it's too late. Hidden behind screens, the accumulation of unorganized emails, countless unsorted photos, and incomplete tasks can become a daunting, invisible source of anxiety. Join me, as I share my personal weekly tasks that ensure a clutter-free digital environment. Support the showOverwhelmed?

How can you as a mom retain your individuality while taking care of your family? Meet Dr. Morgan Cutlip, a psychologist who's dedicated her career to relationship education and is a mother herself. We'll get a glimpse into her journey from the academic world of psychological theories to the practical world of day-to-day motherhood. Just like machines, we too need regular refueling to function efficiently. The crux of our conversation with Dr. Cutlip revolves around the concept of self-care in motherhood, a topic often pushed to the back burner. We deliberate on how the starvation principle affects both our needs and those of our children, and the shifts we need to make to prevent reaching that point of desperation. We also explore the art of rediscovering joy and using self-care as a decompression tool rather than merely a path to self-improvement. Motherhood can leave you feeling misplaced. Dr. Cutlip and I delve into the importance of acknowledging this sense of displacement and debunk the myth of balance. We talk about the significance of having systems to check in with ourselves constantly and how to put a pin in issues when we don't have time to deal with them. Not only do we discuss the importance of maintaining self-focus as mothers, but Dr. Cutlip also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming book filled with invaluable insights for moms.Purchase her book: Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourselfhttps://a.co/d/4PHJrbRConnect with Dr. Morgan Cutlip:http://www.drmorgancutlip.comhttps://www.instagram.com/drmorgancutliphttps://www.facebook.com/mylovethinksJoin the Annual Plan-a-PaloozaA planning workshop that incorporates all roles in your life! --LIVE Oct 24, 25, + 26--www.megansumrell.com/plan^Early bird tickets on sale now!  Overwhelmed?

When puzzle pieces are scattered across various places, solving the puzzle becomes more time-consuming, frustrating, and overwhelming. Analogously, keeping essential information dispersed across different platforms or devices can hinder one's ability to manage their time and make well-informed, quick decisions efficiently.

Listen in as I emphasize that just as gathering all puzzle pieces in one place makes the process much easier and more enjoyable, organizing one's personal and professional data in a single location simplifies decision-making and allows for more effective scheduling.If you have been struggling to try and get planning together, it's probably because you're missing that centralized hub.In this episode, you will be able to:1. Understand the key link between information centralization and achieving time management goals.2. Evaluate the most suitable system for gathering your vital information in one accessible location.3. Ascertain the positive impact of using email processing systems in your professional arena.4. Appreciate the consequences of avoiding a well-organized information hub on your bottom line.5.

This episode is about repeatable systems vs. one-time processes and how that relates to time management. Hang with me here as this may sound a little complicated. Let's start with an example:A one-time process to clean out your closet helps you organize your closet once. Setting up a repeatable system for how you take clothes out and put them back helps you consistently stay organized. How does this apply to productivity and planning? You may have a repeatable system for setting up your calendar for the week but what happens when one of these things happens: something takes longer than planned, an emergency pops up, and new things come at you that you need to squeeze into your week?  Do you have systems for doing this?Having systems in place to plan and manage our time can help us live a life of harmony where we don't feel constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed out. We need to account for the realities of life and create systems to adjust when emergencies happen. It will take time and patience to build the systems, but over time they will become habits.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. Discover the power of systems to manage your time and calendar.2. What is the difference between a one-time process vs a repeatable system.3. Find out why your goals won't be achieved without the right systems in place.Ready to ditch overwhelm for good?

Don't waste your time writing New Year's resolutions - they're a setup for failure. Once upon a time, I was a firm believer in making traditional New Year's resolutions each year, but I have since come to realize that this is a waste of time.Instead of making bold statements at the beginning of the year (most times unrealistic to your current circumstances), I now focus on something completely different. A way that allows for changes that may come up over the course of the year and account for changes.My realistic approach is how to set yourself up for success. In this episode, you will learn the following:1. Why I don't believe in New Year's resolutions and how they can actually set you up for failure.2. What an alternative approach to New Year's resolutions is 3. A better way to approach goal setting for the coming year.

I'm always surprised when people look at my weekly planner and see how much white space is in there. To the outside world, I appear to be a highly productive person. But the fact is, I have a lot of free time on my calendar. That's because I prioritize the things that are most important to me. And I've realized that a full calendar or full schedule does not necessarily mean that you have a full life. In fact, sometimes it can mean the opposite. If you're constantly overbooked, over-scheduled, and over-exhausted, it's time to take a step back and assess what's really important to you. That way, you can fill your life with the things that bring you joy and make you feel accomplished, content and satisfied.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. How my schedule looks more blank than you think2. The importance of removing things from your calendar that don't fill you up.3. The benefits of having large chunks of time in your life that are not full.Like what you heard here?I’d be honored and grateful if you would head over to iTunes to leave a review and let other female entrepreneurs know what you learned!

But before launching her lucrative food blog and business, Christine was doing something entirely different -- Ten years ago, Christine was on maternity leave from a Ph.D. program when her family relocated from Canada to Orlando. In a new country, armed with a master’s degree in Linguistics and a new baby, Christine struggled to find a job opportunity that matched her skill set. While she figured out what to do with her life, she started a food blog. It was an exciting hobby and kept her connected with friends and family back home. Since then, what originally started as a hobby has turned into one of the top-ranked food blogs in the world, with more than 2 MILLION monthly readers. The journey from hobbyist to full-fledged lucrative business had many twists and turns, and a lot of learning curves.
