The Distracted Dreamer
Get ready to confidently and unapologetically go after dreams! Welcome to The Distracted Dreamer Podcast.
Today is the day you’re going to pull your dreams off the shelf and bring them to the forefront of your life. You are never too tired, too busy, too old, too young, too anything to pursue your dreams.
Imagine… the joy and excitement of doing what lights you up. Your dreams are yours. No one gets to take them from you and no one gets to chase them - except you. Your dreams are there to guide you, to inspire you and to show you that yes, there is something more in store for you.
You see, the size of your dreams don’t matter - it could be running a marathon, reading a book series, perfecting that family recipe, traveling the world, or learning to dance.
I’m Carlene Bauwens, entrepreneur, Life Coach and now host of The Distracted Dreamer podcast. I’m here to show you how to kick distraction to the curb and grab hold of your dreams. Your happiness matters. You have a big, beautiful, amazing life to live. And you've only got one of them. Welcome to the Distracted Dreamer Podcast.

#26: Own Your Day, Part 3: How to Build a To-Do List That Actually Works
Ever stared at a to-do list that somehow made you feel more overwhelmed instead of focused?
You’re not alone.
For a long time, I thought productivity was about cramming everything into one massive list and just powering through it. But the truth is, your to-do list shouldn't be another source of pressure. It should support you, your goals and your dreams.
In this final episode of the Own Your Day series, we’re digging into the real reason most to-do lists don’t work—and how to create one that actually helps you build momentum and take action - minus the burn out.
When you build your to-do list using the four foundational pillars in this episode, you will finally feel organized, focused, and in control of your day.
Grab a pen and paper and your favorite beverage and let's build a to-do list together that moves you forward.
