Let's Plan the Week Together! EP 294


Listen Later

In today's episode, Sarah plans her week on-air! Well, it's a bit of a reenactment (mostly because she needed a quiet house to record), but she goes through all the steps and there are visual aids (please see the show notes @ theshubox.com for photos!).
Steps in her weekly planning process:

  • Looking back - reflection & review (including migration/review of any prior undone tasks, plus a look at the monthly list)
  • Looking ahead - upcoming calendar integration
  • Look around - ensure inboxes are up to date enough & check sneaky sources
  • Look within - mood and energy assessment
  • Generate weekly task list and record
  • Add weekly ops that feel necessary (plus: FUN AUDIT)
  • Remember the upcoming weekend - think it through
  • Plan for communication
  • Episode mentioned where Sarah clears her email on air: https://theshubox.com/2025/11/ep-278-empty-your-inbox-with-me-and-hemlock-oak-daily-weekly-monthly-planner-review.html
