Add More to Your Podcast? Remember to Subtract!
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.
