Beyond the To-Do List: Creating Intentional Time in the Week


Listen Later

In this episode, Lauren gives a simple yet powerful strategy for making sure the things that matter most don't get lost in the chaos of life. She reveals how a small tweak to your weekly planning can transform your weeks from constantly reactive to intentionally connected. Learn how separating "have to do" tasks from "want to do" activities creates space for meaningful moments even in the busiest weeks.

Key Points Discussed:

  • The intentional planning you are probably already doing in your weeks, and why a weekly planning system just makes good sense.
  • The game-changing practice: planning not just what you have to do, but what you want to do each week. And the impact this tweak can have on your life.
  • The origin story of this practice during COVID lockdown with three young children, and how it evolved into a sustainable system.
  • Practical tips for implementing this approach without adding more pressure.
  • Why this isn't about Pinterest-perfect activities or filling every minute, but about creating connection and intention.
  • How to adapt this practice to your unique family schedule, whether you work full-time or have irregular hours.
