One of the Keys to My Unhurried Life

As a wife, mother of three, and entrepreneur my schedule is full--before I take care of our home, prepare meals, serve in my community, or have any fun.  It would be easy to to feel stressed and overwhelmed with managing.  Instead, I am busy.  Busy in the all right ways and busy doing the right things.   I can truly say that I live unhurried and it's because of one simple nonnegotiable:  I do not skip my planning time!

Did you know that you are up 80% more likely to execute a written weekly plan than a plan that is in your head? 

In this episode, I explain why it's so important to me and share my "super not-so-secret" planning steps.  Planning takes discipline but gives you freedom at the same time; the more I embrace it, the more flexible I can be.  Now, when I look at my full calendar, instead of feeling overwhelmed, I feel invigorated.  I know when busy weeks are coming and have a plan for how I am going to approach them.  Doubling down on my approach to planning brought more clarity and focus to my life across the board.

Pro-Ninja Tips from the Episode
1. Do not look at your calendars in silos--create a master calendar
2. If you get off track, turn the page and keep going.  Planning is a discipline that develops by committing to it.
3. Communicate your calendar to those that support you and that you support.   
 
Show Notes-Only Bonus Tip:  Planning is an act of selfcare.  Once you have an overview of your schedule, you can also protect blocks of time to recharge and rest.
