Katie Dalebout: 我希望根据过去或未来来决定什么值得我花时间。我很高兴能和Abby重新建立联系，她教会了我“时间悲观主义”这个概念，这对我很有帮助。我也意识到处理问题和拥有处理问题的途径非常重要，拥有支持系统可以防止我沉溺于负面情绪中。我需要处理问题，让问题释放出来。我也想知道如何快速调整心态，避免沉溺于负面情绪。我喜欢以最真实的好奇心来开始对话，这是Abby第三次上我的播客。Abby帮助我敞开心扉，展示了她如何作为一名商业策略师来支持他人。我非常喜欢Abby，也很享受这次谈话。我正在努力转型到一种不同的风格，并会更加稳定地分享。 Abbi Miller: 母亲的身份本身就是一个巨大的转变。一旦我们表达出来，被他人看到和见证，它就会转变。能够谈论正在发生的事情并被他人看到是非常重要的。没有人可以免于需要支持。与他人建立联系，特别是那些能立即给你带来视角转变的人，是最快的解决方法。在治疗过程中，我不断地重复那些经历，这实际上是有害的。有时，我需要的是放松和转移注意力，而不是深入分析问题。有时，我需要改变策略，而不是一直谈论问题。

Shownotes Transcript

This week, I talk to business strategist Abbi Miller about navigating pivots in both personal and professional life. Abbi was on the podcast five years ago, and her perspective on time management, which she calls Time Pessimism, is a concept I’ve found helpful ever since. Since then, much has changed for her both personally and collectively (including becoming a mom). In this episode, we catch up on everything she’s learned since then, including how to work with the muse when it strikes and how she sets up systems to support that flow. We also discuss how to deal with cynicism and find ambition again, and her strategies for effective quarterly goal-setting. Plus, Abbi gets me to open up about some of my own career changes and how I’ve been navigating them within my life. And you can hear me talk about it more on her show, where she had me on as a guest too.
