Salam sis,
I know what it’s like to feel completely drained... like you’re showing up every day with nothing left to give. In this episode of Muslimahs in Motion, I’m sharing how I keep building even in those low-energy seasons.

I’ll walk you through how I personally use time blocking and task batching to stay organized and protect my energy. I also open up about dealing with faux productivity: you know, when you’re busy all day but nothing actually moves forward?

We’ll talk about:

What to do when you’re too tired to be "productive"
How focusing on one major goal at a time has helped me simplify my workflow
Why trusting Allah’s plan is the ultimate time management strategy
The shift from hustle to barakah-paced productivity

If you’ve ever felt behind, burnt out, or just... stuck, this one's for you.

Tune in for a faith-based, practical take on staying in motion—even when you feel like you’re running on empty.
