Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Joyfully Managed Life podcast, Jessica Eastman Stewart discusses a simple, yet effective strategy of setting an alarm 5-10 minutes prior to when a conversation needs to end. This approach assists with staying present during meetings or social gatherings, without the concern of losing track of time. She describes how being constantly aware of the time can be a hindrance to quality conversations or interactions, and suggests using technology as a tool to help manage this, allowing for a more engaged, undistracted and meaningful experience. Jessica highlights that this strategy relieves the stress of time-watching and promotes a more joyfully managed life. She encourages her audience to share their thoughts and experiences on this method or any other unique ways they handle time management.
