July Q&A: Airtight Task Capture, Planning Time Away from Work, and More! EP 258


Listen Later

In today's episode, Sarah answers accumulated questions for July!

Topics include:

  • Laurel Denise + Full Focus is too much -- what do use instead?
  • Task management (2 questions on various angles of this common challenge!) and how not to lose all of those great ideas that come to you that you want to see at the right time
  • Discussion of the Alistair Method for the listener struggling to fit tasks into an unpredictable schedule (details on this method here: https://bulletjournal.com/blogs/bulletjournalist/projects-the-alastair-method
  • Ways to structure/plan out a period of lighter work (sabbatical of sorts)
  • As mentioned early in the episode, Sarah's Mid-Year Check In is available for viewing -- great for those looking for a mid-year boost! This 1-hour guided mid-year planning session is available for instant viewing for anyone who purchases access to Planning 2026 (Sarah's 4 hour annual planning course, held in December/January).
