DeShawn's January Update: Beyond Time Management & Offering A Fresh Perspective for 2025
Published 6 months ago • 3 min read
Hi Reader
In this month's update, I'm inviting each of us to consider a thought-provoking question:
What if your relationship with time could be completely different?
For so long, I was conditioned to think managing time better is the key to success. Maybe you have fallen for that perspective, too? But what if we embraced a radical shift in that thought instead?
I recently asked a group: “What’s your biggest hope for how you’ll use your time differently this year? And remember, it can’t be about magically adding more time. We're not living a sci-fi movie."
The responses were enlightening! From prioritizing meaningful connections to pursuing passions that had been sidelined, it became clear that many of us yearn for a more fulfilling relationship with time—one that goes beyond mere efficiency. So that's left me thinking...
Life isn’t just about managing time better; it’s about redefining our relationship with it.
Imagine viewing time not as a relentless taskmaster but as a partner in your journey. What if you could approach your days intentionally and clearly, focusing on what truly matters to you? We can choose our relationships and experiences with time by shifting our mindset. I've shared my thoughts in the blog post link below if you want to read more about my take on time relationships.
And, as we embark on this new year, I invite you to explore how you can cultivate a relationship with time that empowers you to live more fully and authentically. As of today, over 35 folks have registered to learn more about their relationship with time, and it's not too late for you to join the LIVE ZOOM workshop, too.

Adjusting Our Lens
Our relationship with time shapes everything – how we view our past, experience our present, and anticipate our future.
Yet too often, we find ourselves trapped in a paradoxical dance with time: rushing through moments while feeling stuck, racing toward goals while missing the journey, or dwelling on past experiences while anxiously anticipating what's ahead.
This complex relationship with time often colors our interpretations of life's events. We might see a delay as a devastating setback rather than a chance to refine our approach. A period of slow progress might feel like stagnation rather than necessary integration. A challenge might appear as time wasted rather than experience gained.
But what if we could adjust our lens and reframe what we see?
As someone who’s always felt off-center in a world obsessed with conventional productivity, I’ve discovered that the secret isn’t in managing time better—it’s in understanding and leveraging our unique relationship with it.
Drawing from my education and coaching background, I’ll help you raise awareness of your brain’s natural patterns and work with them instead of against them.
