Life is hectic, there’s a lot of static and radio interference, so many loud and confusing things vying for our attention. It is a testament to the incredible capacity of the human mind to filter through the chaos and actually find a way to focus on things, and accomplish specific goals and tasks.  As a person who probably would have been diagnosed with ADHD when I was a little kid many moons ago, I can’t even imagine what kind of distractions I would have found in a cellphone, TikTok and YouTube.

Sometimes we need a little help, a little inspiration. That’s where today’s guest Elisabeth Sharp McKetta comes in. She’s written an extraordinary book called EDIT YOUR LIFE - An inspiring guide to focusing on what matters most in life—and hitting delete on what doesn’t. 

Elisabeth Sharp McKetta, author and storyteller, teaches writing for Harvard Extension School and Oxford Department for Continuing Education. She is the author of a dozen books including her recent release: ‘Edit Your Life’....

Her book shares simple ways to cut through the clutter, drama, and abundance of distractions of modern life to live with more intention and joy. 

She should know: Elisabeth and her husband James Stead once sold everything they owned and moved into a tiny house in Idaho (with their two children).  

In our recent conversation I wanted to talk to Elisabeth about not only her book but the practice and habit of journaling and how it can help us zero in on our priorities and the things that matter in our lives. 

Listen my conversation with ELISABETH SHARP McKETTA from her lovely home where her husband and two amazing children live.
