Episode 83: 5 Strategies to Save 10 Hours a Week
Ever feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day? Jenna Piche, once a marketing executive and now a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, has dialed in the art of mastering her time and mindset. This week, Dr. Lara Salyer learns Jenna’s game-changing strategies for a balanced and productive life and medical practice.
One of the key insights Jenna shares is the concept of the “positive no”. She explains that it’s okay to say no and set boundaries, as long as it is done in a respectful and positive manner. By communicating your limitations and commitments, you can avoid overextending yourself and prioritize your own needs.
To use their time to its maximum potential, Jenna encourages practitioners to delegate tasks that are not in their zone of genius, allowing them to focus on the work they are truly passionate about and only they can do.
Another valuable tip Jenna offers is the importance of routines and rituals. By creating a workday startup and shutdown routine, practitioners can set themselves up for success and ensure they are working efficiently and effectively. These routines also allow for intentional planning and reflection, helping practitioners to optimize their time and energy.
This episode underscores a valuable message: success, both in a professional landscape and in personal realms, hinges on effective task prioritization, time and mindset management.
About Jenna Piche, Time Management Coach, FDN-P:
Jenna Piche, a former marketing executive, struggled to balance a career she loved with raising a young family. Overwhelmed, she stayed up late and woke up early to catch up on tasks. This took a toll on her health and left her feeling guilty for not being the mom and passionate servant she aspired to be. Determined to make a change, she became obsessed with how to create a life of greater focus, intention, and balance.
That’s when she discovered the Full Focus System. Harnessing its power, she focused on completing the right tasks more efficiently, allowing her to pursue her career while prioritizing her family and well-being. This was so life-changing that Jenna became a Full Focus Certified Pro.
Combining her expertise as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, she helps other professionals save 10 hours a week so they can repurpose the time they save to finding fulfillment outside of work.
In This Episode We're Talking About:
- Practical steps you can apply to get your work done, prioritize what is important, and deal with an over-inflated to-do list
- Identify the factors that hinder your ability to control your time and take charge of your work and your life
- Find out how to break free from the ‘Hustle Fallacy’ and design career and life fulfillment without sacrificing your family or your health
Quotes:
- “Just stop working from a to-do list, right? Work with a daily big three or a daily big one, whatever it is. And once you get the important things done, you’ll feel like you’re making progress and then you can move on to the busy work.” (12:01 | Jenna Piche)
- “The idea of having routines and habits and rituals in place is that you focus on something once, you create a system to do that thing, and then you put that on autopilot.” (18:02 | Jenna Piche)
- “But the idea that when you have routines in place and you do it every day, then it just becomes who you are and you move farther faster. So I apply that to the operations mindset. How can we touch something once, create a system, and then work the system so we can free up our mental brainpower?” (19:17 | Jenna Piche)
- “Leveraging these things and these systems and even the right frame of brain helps you accomplish more and less time so you can really enjoy the business that you’ve created.” ( 36:10 | Jenna Piche)
- “Because nothing beautiful or wonderful can happen unless you honor yourself and your own inner-creativity and inner-vibrancy and invest in yourself enough to envision a better future. Having this blank canvas and designing a work-life masterpiece that is uniquely yours, that feels like home and it’s personalized, and the biggest bottleneck, or I should say the tiniest bottleneck that we need to move through is time management.

About The Catalyst Host, Dr. Lara Salyer:
I worked as a family physician for 15 years until burnout changed the trajectory of my career. I realized I wanted to start a holistic functional medicine practice in my rural hometown and made it happen. In addition to practicing functional medicine, I now mentor practitioners who are looking to change their paths in healthcare by using what I refer to as the “Catalyst Roadmap”. I share each step of this framework with listeners so that they may apply it to their careers, relationships, personal goals, and projects.
