335. The Missing Piece in My Time Management Journey & It Wasn't Another Productivity Hack

Hi Mamas, 

For years, I've taught the famous rocks, pebbles, and sand time management analogy. 

Put the big rocks in first. 

Then everything else fits around them. 

But during a recent Sunday homily, I heard one sentence that completely changed the way I've thought about that lesson for years: 

"The first big rock should be God." 

That simple statement connected a puzzle piece I didn't even realize was missing. 

In this episode, I'm sharing: 

• Why this episode almost became a Monday Mindset  

• The story that started with my college dorm assignment and reminded me to trust God's plan  

• My personal Sunday mantra:  "If I make time for God, God will make time for me."  

• How that mindset has changed my relationship with time  

• Why boundaries have become easier  

• Why I no longer believe everything depends on me  

• What faith looks like in our family  

• Why I believe faith is lived every day—not just inside a church building  

• The difference between being responsible... and believing you're responsible for everything  

This is one of the most personal episodes I've ever shared, and my hope is simply that it encourages you to slow down, breathe, and remember that peace isn't found in doing more—it's found in letting go of what you were never meant to carry.
