Mastering Time Management in Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Intentional choices about free time can enrich life experiences.
  • Balancing rest and relaxation with discipline is crucial.
  • Technology can be a major distraction from meaningful activities.
  • Growth often involves discomfort and stepping out of comfort zones.
  • Focus on self-improvement rather than controlling others.
If you are after comfort, you will not grow.
Time management can be a tricky beast to tame, especially when you're juggling recovery, family, and personal growth. In this episode of the Relational Recovery Podcast, hosts Wes Thomson and Austin Hill dive into the nuances of managing free time effectively. They discuss how intentional choices about how we spend our free time can significantly impact our lives and relationships.
Wes shares his perspective on prioritising family activities over mindless screen time, emphasising that while it's tempting to zone out with technology, more meaningful engagements lead to richer life experiences. Austin chimes in with his own struggles and insights, making it clear that rest and relaxation are essential but should be balanced with discipline and self-control.
The duo also touches on the difference between being lazy and genuinely resting, noting that real rest involves activities that rejuvenate the mind and spirit. They even bring up Johann Hari's book, Stolen Focus, to highlight how technology can distract us from living fully present lives. If you've ever found yourself wondering where all your time goes or how to make better use of it, this episode is packed with practical advice and candid reflections.
It's a great listen for anyone looking to reclaim their time and live more intentionally.
