8. Your New Weekly Planning Session


Listen Later

Planning isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the foundation of realistic time management. In this episode, I walk you through why weekly planning matters, when to do it, and how to make it easier and more effective (even if you don’t love it).

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your calendar, unsure how everything will get done, or stuck in a cycle of Sunday Scaries, this episode is for you.

We’re diving into weekly planning—the habit that maintains your time management system, reduces stress, and gives you the clarity to move through your week with confidence. You’ll learn:

  • Why Friday planning sessions can change your weekend and workweek

  • How long weekly planning really takes (and why it’s worth it)

  • How a planning agenda helps you stay focused, avoid forgotten to-dos, and plan smarter

Whether you're a lawyer, physician, manager, or any busy professional or working mom, solid weekly planning is your secret weapon to stay organized, proactive, and less stressed—even when life throws you curveballs.
