  • 104 Work/life balance doesn’t work (what I do instead) with Abigail Barnes
    Oct 15 2026

    This Episode of The Time Management Podcast is for you if:

    • You know what you should be doing, but you’re struggling to turn it into action
    • You’re ambitious, but you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed and doing it all on your own
    • You’re ready to stop chasing work/life balance and step into your Productive Wellbeing era

    Work/life balance was never designed for the way we live now. Work on one side, life on the other, and you stuck in the middle trying to keep the see-saw level. That’s why I’ve created a modern version: Productive Wellbeing.

    It’s about looking after your energy, using your time well, and getting results in the margins of life.

    Whether you’re an entrepreneur or an ambitious professional who’s also a busy mum, a solopreneur, a responsibility juggler, a taxi parent, a side hustler, a midlife resetter, this episode is for you.

    I’m also introducing something I’ve been building for a long time: the Productive Wellbeing Members Club.

    In this episode, I share:

    • What “results in the margins of life” really means
    • Why Productive Wellbeing is the modern work/life balance
    • Why knowing what to do is only half the story, and what makes the difference
    • Why I created the club, and how it ties in with the 888 Formula and Procrastination Breakthrough
    • What happens inside each week, including silent co-working, which is perfect if you work from home
    • How to live a happy, healthy, enjoyable life where you thrive and laugh for no reason

    The Productive Wellbeing Members Club opens on Monday 19 October.

    There are only 26 founder spots, at £26 a month. You keep that rate for as long as you stay a member. After that, the price goes up to £33 a month.

    Question to think about today: If you had more time and more energy, what life would you start building?
