Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I get this question all the time:  How do you do it?  Give me the secret playbook so I can do it all too.  Friend, first, I don’t.  Let’s break this down into 2 parts.  Today, I am going to talk about help and tomorrow, about boundaries and give you a sneak peak into my day. 

 

First, I get help when I need help.  Right now in my company, that looks like a virtual assistant who I affectionately refer to as “the Chief of Everything”. She keeps the wheels on the bus with the podcast, the social, the launches.  I also have a podcast team that takes my recordings and transcripts (that I format and write) and then does all the tech so that you get it delivered to the podcast platforms you listen to on the daily.  I also have a tech person that I go to when I get stuck.  She mostly works on my website. I just hired a copyright person that helps me with my written words for recurring emails, blogs and things like that when I need an editor and a fresh set of eyes.  

 

At home, I have a cleaning service for my house and a lawn service for my yard.  Those fundamentals allow me to do all the things.   

 

Don’t be fooled when you see someone on social media that looks like they are doing it all - they’re not.  

 

I know that I am fortunate to have help.   

 

If you see someone hustling, it’s coming at the cost of something else, I guarantee it.   

 

And for me, the cost is time to do the things I want.  I want more time, not more money, so I outsource and take less of a salary.  There are a million ways to do anything, and you get to figure out what works best for you.  

 

Ok, tomorrow we’re talking about boundaries when it looks like someone is doing it all.  I can’t wait to dive in.  See you tomorrow.
