098 "How I Found an Extra Hour a Day" Sonia Jewers [Time Management Success Story]

In this episode of The Time Management Podcast, Organisational Psychologist Sonia Jewers shares how attending my keynote Master Your Time, Boost Your Success and investing in the Find Your Missing Hour 7-Day Challenge transformed her time management.

Sonia went from unstructured “busyness” to living with clarity, intention, and focus, reclaiming an extra hour a day with one simple change. Discover the neuroscience-backed strategies, micro-habits, and mindset shifts that helped her:

- Uncover the illusion of busyness and focus on priorities

- Apply the 888 Formula for balance between sleep, work, and personal time

- Use environmental cues and time blocking to sustain productivity

- Remove distractions, quit Instagram, and schedule strategic recovery

- Align actions with core values for greater fulfilment and efficiency

If you’re feeling constantly busy but not making real progress, then this episode will inspire you to take action starting with a simple one-day time audit.

 

“Your talk was transformational. When you spoke about the illusion of busyness… I had a little lightbulb moment. I thought: I know someone who that might relate to… me!” Sonia Jewers

 

⏰ It’s your Time!

 

About Sonia Jewers

I coach leaders in high-demand industries who are managing career ambition and personal responsibility. They often come to me at a tipping point: stretched thin, navigating complex challenges, and unsure how to keep performing without losing themselves in the process.

Most don’t have time for vague advice. They don't want short term 'hacks'. They want practical, evidence-based support that respects their intelligence and works in the real world. Quickly and sustainably.

With 20+ years experience in organisational psychology and executive coaching, Sonia brings a grounded, science-informed approach to help leaders regain clarity, energy and focus. Her client’s work in sectors like biotech, finance, tech, and insurance industries, where performance is high-stakes and emotional bandwidth is often low.

It’s not about pausing your ambition. It's about learning how to lead in a way that feels more focused, sustainable and human.
