Do you wish you could lead with more intention and less stress this year? In this episode of The Principal’s Handbook, we’re diving into how to create leadership routines that actually stick—so you can be more proactive, visible, and grounded throughout the school year.

I’ll walk you through:

• Why routines are the secret to consistent leadership
• How to build routines that align with your priorities
• Common reasons principals struggle with routines (and how to fix them)
• Practical examples of daily and weekly routines that create structure, build trust, and reduce decision fatigue

If you want to lead with more confidence and clarity—while protecting your time and energy—this episode is for you. Plus, learn how to turn routines into habits with my custom habit system for principals, Leadership by Design.
