This episode of the podcast is another solo one from Nic, where she shares from a post she wrote earlier this year, highlighting some signs you might recognise if you're addicted to being busy.

Nic says:

"I could easily list these signs as I am a reformed addict! It was only when I started to try and slow down the pace of my life did I realise that I was actually addicted to being busy and I found it incredibly hard to slow down. Like all things that are hard though, it was worth the effort as I persisted in changing my behaviours.

"While far from perfect, the pace of my life has slowed down significantly over the last two years and it has made me happier and therefore my family happier."

In this episode she shares:
11 signs that you could be a busy addict
What busy addict behaviours were having the biggest impact on her life
Why these behaviours were a problem
What behaviours she chose to stop
How goal setting helped her get over FOMOLinks mentioned:

Hosted by Nicole Avery of PlanningWithKids.com, this family life gives everyday parents a chance to share their hard-fought wisdom. These aren’t bloggers or authors or even people with a big Instagram following. Instead, they’re everyday parents with practical, insightful, honest advice to share. Nic interviews parents who work full-time, mums on maternity leave, those whose children have special needs and parents with kids of all ages, and uncovers how they organise the chaos of their daily family life.

this family life

Hosted by Nicole Avery of PlanningWithKids.com, this family life puts the spotlight on everyday parents and allows them the opportunity to share the wisdom they have gathered throughout their years of parenting. They aren’t bloggers or authors or even people with a big Instagram following. They are everyday parents with practical, insightful, honest advice to share. They share what has worked and what hasn't, what they love about their family and the challenges they face. Nic interviews parents from a broad spectrum of family set ups - full-time working parents, single parents, parents home full time, parents of kids with special needs and everything else in between! Through her conversations, Nic uncovers how they organise the chaos of their daily family life.

Nic returns this week with a great solo show on how to break the busy-ness addiction, and what strategies have helped her slow down and create a more harmonious family life.
