    Nov 4 2024
    If you want to add something new to your podcasting routine, you need to subtract something else from your schedule. Time management is crucial for podcasters; today, I'm pointing out the importance of making intentional choices about allocating our time. Let's examine the balance between new opportunities and existing commitments. I emphasize that every addition comes with a necessary subtraction (unless you want to lose your mind). This episode is filled with practical tips and personal insights on how to manage your time while avoiding burnout. Whether you want to expand your podcasting efforts or keep your sanity intact, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate your busy schedule.Got Feedback On This Episode?I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode. If you have a minute or two, it's less than five questions and works great on your phone or computer. Share Your ThoughtsTakeaways: To succeed in podcasting, remember that adding a new task means subtracting an existing one (if you're truly "busy"). Effective time management in podcasting requires precise scheduling for learning new tools or platforms. Evaluate your current commitments and prioritize what truly adds value to your podcasting journey (and value to your audience). Being overwhelmed by podcasting tasks can be alleviated by understanding your available time. Use tools to track your productivity and identify what activities yield the best results. Avoid the hustle culture; prioritize your health and family while managing your podcasting goals.
