33 Benefits You'll Experience When You Hire A Holistic Time Coach
It's easy to lose sight of the value of our time amidst the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day.
We often find ourselves caught up in worries about the past or consumed by anxieties about the future, all while being pulled into tasks that don't truly align with our true priorities and goals.
But here's the thing: every single moment, day, week, and year we experience weave together to form the tapestry of our one and only life.
That's why it's crucial to do the inner and outer work to be in right relationship with time and spend it consciously.
That's where Holistic Time Coaching and Holistic Time Management come in.
As a Holistic Time Coach, my mission is to partner up with individuals who yearn for more from their time and their existence. Those who crave more presence, abundance, freedom, and aliveness.
In this blog, I'll share the incredible benefits that holistic time coaching can bring to your life—truly life-changing results that will elevate your business, relationships, health, finances, and more.
What is holistic life & time coaching?
Holistic life and time coaching is all about shaping your future and maximizing your present. Think of it as a dynamic partnership with a coach who guides you to unlock your full potential. The process is incredibly hands-on and tailored to your unique needs. It begins with identifying your values, dreams, and aspirations, helping you craft a roadmap for your life.
Together with your holistic life and time coach, you'll work on enhancing time management skills, reducing stress, and creating a balanced, fulfilling life. This approach is ideal for busy adults seeking to regain control over their schedules and achieve a harmonious lifestyle aligned with their loved ones. However, it might not be the best fit for individuals who are currently dealing with severe mental health issues that require immediate therapy or counseling. If you’re struggling with significant mental health issues, please seek out professional help immediately.
33 benefits of having a holistic time coach in your life
How we spend our time impacts everything; our work, relationships, environment, finances, and physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It makes sense that holistic time coaching benefits… everything too.
Here are the biggest benefits that are accessible to you with a holistic time management coach:
Accomplish more, better
Time management and productivity get a bad rep in my world nowadays. But productivity itself isn’t the enemy. The real enemy? Capitalism, scarcity, greed, selfishness, and income inequality. They turn productivity toxic.
But at the end of the day, we all have things we need to get done at work, at home, and for ourselves. That’s why we look to time management to support us in doing so.
However, traditional time management burns people out because it emphasizes a one-size-fits-all approach to productivity. This can lead to an overly rigid schedule and unrealistic expectations.
Holistic Time Management takes into account your unique differences and needs which helps you accomplish what you want, in less time and without all the stress, anxiety, hurry, and urgency. This allows you to get more quality work done.
Enriched creativity
Time that is well-managed allows for space to noodle, think creatively, and make art. You’ll have more capacity for hobbies, whether that’s playing an instrument, drawing, writing, or something else that you love doing.
Advanced time estimation
You’ll be able to accurately estimate how long tasks will take, leading to more realistic planning and scheduling.
Alleviate stress & anxiety
Holistic time management reduces day-to-day and chronic stress, anxiety, confusion, hopelessness, and helplessness. It also alleviates symptoms associated with those things such as headaches, exhaustion, burnout, and more.
More motivation
A coach will provide guidance and support to help you stay connected to your motivation throughout the day, week, and month.
Expands your capacity for joy
Holistic time coaching increases your joy and spontaneity. It helps you feel more alive, even as you’re checking things off your to-do list or when you’re at work throughout the week. You don’t have to wait until the weekend to be excited or have fun.
Effective visioning & goal setting
Ever set a goal and later realized it’s going to take a lot more time, energy, and focus to achieve? Yep! We’re so used to setting big lofty goals. But there’s a big difference between a vision and a goal.
A time coach will help you create a safe container for you to vision and dream without needing to know all the answers. Then they’ll support you in taking that vision and turning it into realistic and achievable goals.
This will help you stay motivated and on track, it’ll help you acknowledge and celebrate your progress, and achieve them much easier and quicker.
Healing self-sabotaging behavior
A holistic coach can help you deepen your understanding of and heal issues that impact how long you spend on tasks. Think common time issues such as procrastination, perfectionism, and overthinking
Self-accountability
Following through with the plans one makes is one of the most common struggles I hear from clients and students.
A holistic time coach is here to gently hold you accountable for the things you say you want to do and help you find ways to strengthen your own self-accountability muscle.
Boundary setting
You’ll be able to set clearer boundaries and say "no" to things you really don’t want to do.
Conscious prioritization & decision-making
You’ll learn how to prioritize tasks in a way that works for your brain and life, not just based on urgency. #EverythingIsUrgent
Also, you’ll gain clarity and find techniques to help you make easier and more effective decisions in all areas of your life, reducing overwhelm, analysis paralysis, and indecisiveness.
Guilt-free self-care & time off
Taking time off is not a piece of cake. Our minds are trained to constantly think about all the things we have to do. Many people feel guilty, lazy, and behind when they rest. And the reality is: we have responsibilities, bills, and people to take care of.
However, Holistic Time Management believes that when we are well, everything else is easier. That’s why I help my clients find a way to prioritize self-care and rest, no matter their responsibilities and circumstances.
As a Holistic Time Coach, I work with my clients to identify and let go of any of the inner guilt or narratives that prevent them from taking really good care of themselves. I also help folks find pockets of time off, make the best use of that time, and proactively plan ahead for more rest.
Better organization
Our direct environment impacts our energy and productivity so much. A holistic time coach will help you figure out if you need to declutter your physical and digital spaces. And if so, support you in creating a sustainable plan resulting in better organization.
Improved clarity & focus
A Holistic Time Coach can help you get clear on what you want and need to get done and how to find and use pockets of focus time better. They’ll also support you in finding self-criticism-free, sustainable ways to avoid distractions like social media.
Greater sense of connection
As opposed to traditional time management, a holistic approach to time management actually works because it emphasizes connection. The connection between yourself and the world around you, your work, your relationships, your health.
You’ll feel more present and mindful throughout each day. You’ll be able to tap into a deeper, more profound level of fulfillment, richness, and meaning.
Increased effectiveness
Do you know how things seem to take longer than we think they ‘should’? Ever feel frustrated about how long things take to happen?
A time coach is here to help you find out why and create strategies and tools to streamline things. This frees up resources for other areas of your life that are important and valuable to you.
Of course, efficiency is important, but it’s not the end all be all either. We tend to lose some of our humanity in pursuit of efficiency. A holistic time coach is here to help you accomplish things without sacrificing your presence and joy.
Unique time-saving techniques
There are millions of different solutions that can save you hours and hours of your life. We just have to find what solutions work for you and your life.
A time coach can offer you various time-saving techniques and tools that have worked for others and help you come up with your own.
Improved communication skills
A time management coach helps you create more space for meaningful interactions and active listening. You’ll also be able to establish clearer expectations with yourself and the people in your life.
Increased self-awareness
One of the things that I realized when I was overworking myself was I wasn’t in tune with myself. I was so focused on getting sh*t done.
I didn’t know what I needed, how I felt, or what I really wanted from my life.
Holistic Time Management works so well because it emphasizes self-knowledge, mindfulness, compassion, trust, and intuition. It helps you gain a better understanding of your needs, rhythms, and strengths and helps you incorporate them into your schedule, routines, and life.
Effective delegation
A holistic time coach will help you delegate tasks and responsibilities in a way that works for your budget, energy, and circumstances. This will free up your focus for more important work and things that bring you joy.
Healing old stories & negative core beliefs
When I ask folks how they feel about time management, many people will say something along of lines of “I suck at it.” This is one example of an old story or negative core belief.
We aren’t actually taught how to manage our time in any sort of unique, healthy, and functional way. How would we know how to? It’s a skill that grows as you practice it. (Ps: You don’t suck).
More realistic planning
If planning has ever felt overwhelming, frustrating, or confusing… you’re not alone. With a time coach, you can clarify and simplify your unique planning process and learn how to plan for the future in a way that works for you.
Creating plans that are realistic, adaptable, and in alignment with your values will help lessen the stress of feeling behind and accomplish your goals without getting exhausted.
Healthier consistency
Consistency is a bit tricky to talk about here, but I had to include it. People often think consistency means doing the same thing every day. To me, it doesn’t.
We’re human beings, with ranging energy, motivation, drive, and capacity. So when I say healthier consistency, I really mean that you’re committed and consistent with one thing: You doing you. When you acknowledge what you need and give yourself that, that’s the most important habit out there.
Sustainable scheduling
Creating a schedule that’s easy to follow yet doesn’t feel like a prison for your freedom-loving soul?! How is that even possible?
A holistic time coach will help you make it happen. You’ll be able to create and maintain a schedule that promotes balance, well-being, and long-term effectiveness.
Stronger relationships
Managing your time holistically will enable you to nurture and support your personal relationships more. You’ll be able to call your friends, go on dates, or play with your kids (or fur baby) without worrying about your to-do list.
Time for personal growth
Things like therapy, non-monetized hobbies, and learning non-work related things aren’t often seen as high-value or productive activities. But holistic time management believes they are just as important.
A holistic time coach will help you create time for any of your interests just because you want to!
Enjoy your work more
By aligning work with your core values, improving focus and productivity, reducing overwhelm and burnout, and establishing boundaries, you’ll be able to enjoy your work more fully and experience a greater sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
Heal urgency & hustle
Because holistic time management promotes mindful awareness, setting realistic expectations, creating space for reflection and evaluation, and emphasizing quality over quantity, you can gradually shift away from the harmful effects of urgency and hustle, fostering healing, well-being, and presence.
Stronger trust
Accomplishing the things you need and want to will strengthen your self-trust with yourself. It’ll also strengthen trust between you and the people you work with and love. And it’ll strengthen your trust in the universe (if you’re spiritual like I am).
Working with a holistic time coach will help you feel more reliable, capable, and confident.
More Money*
*If you want that.
As you’ve read in this list, managing your time holistically contributes to accomplishing things better, having more clarity and energy, and enjoying your work more. This often leads to higher earning potential and financial success. You’ll also be able to more easily prioritize and focus on tasks that directly contribute to your financial goals.
Work-life flow
Work-life flow acknowledges that work and personal life are interconnected and fluid. Holistic Time Management aims to create a more flexible and seamless experience between the two, often competing, areas of your life.
You’ll be able to find a rhythm and synergy between your professional responsibilities and personal well-being.
Overall well-being
When you’re well, everything else is honestly just easier.
That’s why a holistic time coach's main goal is to help you create time to care for your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This will allow you to experience a greater sense of health, happiness, and satisfaction across your entire life.
I’ve had many clients say to me, “I’ve never felt healthier or more content in my entire life.”
Create an impact
When I talk about the ripple effect that happens when one person spends their time more effectively, I mean it.
Once you are clear on what you want to do and aren’t expending precious time and energy doing things you don’t want to do, you can make a bigger, more meaningful impact in the world. Whatever that means to you.
You can volunteer, be more present with your children, heal your own generational trauma, donate to organizations you care about, and so much more. And because you’re spending your time with integrity, you show others it’s possible for them too.
The opportunities are truly limitless.
