This belief runs deeper than time management.
When you live from the mindset that there’s never enough—time, energy, rest, support—it keeps you in survival mode, reacting instead of choosing. It sounds like:
- “I’m already behind.”
- “I don’t have time to pause.”
- “If I slow down, I’ll lose momentum.”
But what if “not enough” isn’t a scheduling problem—what if it’s a self-trust problem?
Scarcity thinking trains you to brace, rush, and overextend before your day even begins. And if you're always trying to outrun the clock, you're not actually living—you’re defending.
What I Want You to Start Noticing
- Notice the first moment each day that you feel the impulse to hurry, multitask, or prove yourself.
- Pause and ask, “What am I afraid will happen if I don’t rush?”
Tiny To-Do
- Choose one day to intentionally not fill every time block.
- Leave 10–15 minutes of margin between tasks.
- At the end of the day, journal: What surfaced in the space I created?
Reflection Prompt
- When during the day do you feel the most time scarcity?
- What do you believe will happen if you don’t keep pushing?
- What would it mean to trust that rest won’t cost you your value?
