Get Organized at Work | Career, Leadership, Project Management, Productivity, Time Management
Are you easily distracted at work - struggling to keep tasks and projects organized? Do you wish you could accelerate your career growth, but you feel held back due to unclear expectations or your lack of boundaries? Are you tired of the vicious cycle of burnout and long to feel the peace that comes with doing fulfilling, impactful work? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast is your go-to for all things career growth! You’ll learn productivity systems to help you get organized, plan ahead, and accomplish your work efficiently. You’ll increase your ability to anticipate problems at work and inside your team before they occur and increase your confidence to lead through them. Goodbye burnout, hello confident, proactive leadership! Hey, I’m Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt, MPH, MLS(ASCP)SBB…but you can call me KFA! I’ve got 12+ years of professional healthcare leadership experience, and I have 9+ years of management experience. I’m a mama of 3 littles, wife and best friend to my hubby who is also in healthcare, and coffee and planner obsessed. When I first stepped into my first professional leadership role, I was promoted quickly! At the time, I was a new mama and had way less experience than those I was leading. I knew I needed to learn and grow in order to succeed in my role. I lacked work-life balance and had no boundaries. I experienced burnout quickly by trying to people please and do everything myself. I worked long hours and my relationships suffered as a result. I finally realized that I needed simple, effective strategies to help me get organized and manage my competing priorities. I created my own daily management tool which helped me get organized, manage stress, achieve work-life integration. I quickly became the go-to leader for innovative healthcare leadership, and I was promoted again! If you are ready to implement sustainable systems and strategies to help you get organized, ditch the burnout, and finally get the recognition you deserve, grab your coffee or bubbly and press play on my show while you rock your spreadsheets! It’s time to dive in!

Feel like you never have time to work on your own projects? Are you always in meetings? Is someone always at your door with questions? I've felt that way before, but when I started time blocking, everything changed and I had more time for my work.
In this video, I answer the following questions:
-What is time blocking? -Why should I time block?
-How do I time block in my calendar?
-What should I time block?
-How do I make more time for my work?
-How do I work in my time blocks without interruptions?
-How do I add time blocks or focus time using Microsoft Outlook?
I know time blocking will change the way you work each day, and you'll find yourself excited about your own projects and less frustrated when you leave for the day.

What is gratitude?
I found a great white paper prepared by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkley that talks all about gratitude and it’s benefits. Studies have shown that gratitude has roots embedded into our evolution, brains, and DNA, and development.
What are the benefits of gratitude?
Improves health and encourages people to adopt healthier habits.
Grateful people have happier and live more satisfied lives, are less materialistic, and less likely to burnout.
Keeping a “gratitude journal” or writing a letter of gratitude can increase your happiness and put you in a positive mood.
What do I do?
Every morning I write down a few things I’m grateful for—usually 3-5 things.
I’ve made space on your #MayMorningTakeBack PDF for you to start by writing at least 1 thing you’re grateful for each day.
Today's episode will dive deeper into gratitude, my personal practice, and how you can practice it too in a way works for your morning.
