Show Summary
Cara Harvey returns to the Mom &… Podcast to talk about her new book, The 15 Minute Formula: How Busy Moms Can Ditch the Guilt, Say Yes to What Matters, and Conquer Their Goals. The title alone had us on board, immediately. We all need less guilt and more goal-conquering.
We talk about what Cara calls priority-based productivity, where we get rid of shame-driven goals and focus on specific moments and seasons in our lives in order to achieve our goals. One of the many things Cara said that had us nodding our heads was that sometimes the answer isn’t “no, it’s not right now.”
The new book covers Cara’s Five Pillars of Productivity and helps readers learn to block schedule, and manage their time so that it works for them, not against them.
