DIGITAL GROUP GUIDE How are you at making time? Do you feel like you have enough time in the day? Do you know if you have enough time in the day? Is there a difference between how you feel about time and what you think about your time? This is the first of a 6 part series on Making Time. Everyone has the same number of hours in the day so why do some people seem to get so much more done? Why do some other people seem so rushed and others seem so casual? While this series can be listened to on your end, you’ll get more out of it if you listen to it together with someone else, your spouse, family, small group, book/podcast club or whatever. If you want to make it more fun and interactive with your group, download the GROUP Method discussion guide here: https://lumivoz.com/making-time/ And we are giving away 50 free GROUP Method Notebooks. Each notebook has premium BLACK paper and comes with a white pen. To get a free notebook, you can do 1 of the following: 1. Leave a review for Making Time on your podcast app of choice. 2.

Take a screenshot of either one and email it to makingtime@lumivoz.com This podcast is just launching and still very small so if you enter, you are probably going to win! But here’s the catch, only 1 notebook and pen per email entry. If you want one for each member of your group, they each have to enter. Sorry, we can only afford to ship to the US and Canada at this time but will hopefully have some more international options soon, especially if y’all share this podcast and it gets popular enough ;) Music in this episode comes from Artlist.com and Musicbed.com - Good Time by Ben Fox - The Sin by Francesco D’Andrea - Theater Magnus by Marco Martini - String Arpeggios - The Great Wild by Out of Flux - The Sky Within by Romeo - I Owe It To You - Premiere by Adrian Berenguer - Lily’s Bounce Edited using Descript And for more great podcasts check out https://lumivoz.com…
