Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women
You wake up with a plan. By 10 AM, it's completely off the rails. By bedtime, you're mentally running through everything you didn't get to and wondering how tomorrow will be any different.
Work + Life Harmony is the weekly podcast that teaches women a completely different approach to time management, weekly planning, and productivity.
Hosted by Megan Sumrell, a time management expert with 20+ years in systems and planning, this show will change the way you think about your calendar, your to-do list, and how you spend your time.
Megan covers everything from weekly planning strategies and daily routines to goal setting, organization, and how to handle the curveballs that throw your whole week off. Her approach was built specifically for women managing work, family, and the million things in between, not recycled advice from productivity systems designed for someone else's life.
If you've been stuck in the cycle of overwhelm, guilt, and never-ending to-do lists, start here. New episodes every week.

Steal My "Household COO" Time-Saving System
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you constantly interrupted by household stuff all week long? The emails from school, the forms that need signing, the bills that aren't on autopay, the portals that need checking. For years, I was handling these things every single day, either stopping what I was doing or carving out time each afternoon to stay on top of it all. But here's what I finally figured out: most of that stuff didn't actually need to be done that day. It just felt urgent because I didn't have a system for it.
Today I'm breaking down what I call my Household COO time. It's a dedicated block of time (usually about two hours) that I schedule once a week to handle all the household coordination stuff that piled up during the week. This one shift has changed my stress levels, my focus during the week, and honestly got rid of a ton of resentment I didn't even realize I was carrying.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- What Household COO time is and what goes into it
- How to decide what needs handling now versus later
- The three places to collect everything that piles up
- Why making this work visible changed everything for my family
- How batching saves time and reduces daily interruptions
