How Busy Is Too Busy? (with Rachel Balducci)

Rachel Balducci’s new book, Overcommitted: Cut Chaos and Find Balance. is all about busy schedules and how we can find balance — and this time of quarantine is a wonderful opportunity to think about all those things and make a plan for personal and family schedules after quarantine. Rachel and I discuss ways to do that, how we can make prayer a priority, and how to discern those things that are truly important to us as a family.

Rachel is a mom of six and is also my co-host on The Gist on CatholicTV, and my dear friend of many years.

Shownotes

It all starts with prayer. If you’re missing that element, forget it. You could have a Martha Stewart perfect home, a perfect work life, etc., and none of it will matter without a life centered in prayer.

This week, I also answer a question from Jessica who is wondering how to organize her household chores, and if it might make sense to schedule them like Grandma always did. 🙂
