Key Takeaways: Reevaluate "Busyness": Both Sarah and Katie highlight the pitfalls of constantly identifying as "busy." Katie shares that reframing "busy" to a "full day" can change our relationship with time and help us feel more in control. The Perception of Time Under Stress: Acute stress may slow our perception of time due to heightened awareness, while chronic stress can create a feeling of time speeding up, leading to constant overwhelm. Mindfulness in Routine Tasks: Sarah recommends grounding oneself in routine tasks like making tea, emphasising that even small moments of intentionality can create a sense of spaciousness Importance of Responsibility over Blame: Katie stresses that taking responsibility for one’s time management is different from self-blame. Recognising choice can empower us to manage time in alignment with our priorities. Implementing Small Pauses: Katie advises incorporating small, intentional pauses, such as 30-second breathwork exercises, to recalibrate and reduce stress throughout the day. Masterclass on Shifting from Stress to Stillness: Katie’s Stress to Still training encourages individuals to step out of the cycle of busyness, meet their needs, and foster a sense of calm in their lives.
