Transcript:

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 today we are talking about my concept INTENTIONAL MARGINS®.  

INTENTIONAL MARGINS® is finding the buffer of space and time to create harmony between our todos and our priorities.  

The INTENTIONAL MARGINS® method is called I-M-P-A-C-T.  

I-M is the words INTENTIONAL MARGINS

P - Priorities (what and why)

A - Action Items (how)  

C - Calendar (what gets calendared gets done)

T - Timely Evaluation of the PAC (are your action items completed and reaching your intended priority goal)

Example: 

I want to spend time with my husband. 

Why:  because I want a healthy marriage that is seperate from raising kids  

How:  coffee chat in the morning. 

-- quarterly getaway, date night.  There are a million ways to do anything, you get to decide what works for you. 

Calendar:  time blocked on my calendar so calls don’t get scheduled. 

Timely:  review monthly and see if this is still both working for us. 

Look, this stuff takes practice, we’re always tweaking for ourselves.  If you want to dig in more with like minded women, we open it a couple times a year, get on the waitlist over at www.katiejefcoat.com/community
