200 // How to be Busy Well (Even When Life is Chaotic) - with Rachelle Crawford from Abundant Life with Less

If you’re in a busy season or anticipate one coming up soon, or just want to know how to approach busy seasons that come out of nowhere without getting overwhelmed, this conversation is for you! Rachelle Crawford from Abundant Life with Less and the author of Messy Minimalism, is on the podcast to chat about her new book How to Be Busy: Unhurried Living Even When Your Calendar is Chaotic. In addition to writing, Rachelle is a registered nurse and works as a school nurse at the school her children attend. She lives in Michigan with her husband and three children.

We discuss: ⏰ the critical difference between being busy and hurried and why it matters

⏰ why seasonality and capacity are integral to how we experience our days, and something most time management books overlook

⏰ how to “bubble wrap” our busy seasons to experience peace

⏰ Rachelle’s 5-step busy protocol that helps you approach any busy season with ease.
