Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women

Planning During Grief and Major Life Changes


Listen Later

When you're navigating grief, job loss, divorce, or any major life disruption, the last thing you need is pressure to maintain your normal productivity levels. Yet so many women beat themselves up because they "just can't get it all done anymore" during these difficult seasons. The truth is, you're not supposed to be getting it all done right now, and it's time to completely rewrite the rules of how you manage your time during grief and major life changes.

Society subtly tries to time-box our grief with limited bereavement policies and expectations to "bounce back" after a week or two. But grief doesn't work on anyone else's timeline, and your planning system needs to flex with your reality, not fight against it. In this episode, I share the simple three-step approach I used during my own season of profound grief, plus practical strategies for honoring your energy levels while letting go of perfectionist expectations.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

  • Why you're not supposed to "get it all done" during grief
  • The three-step weekly planning process for difficult seasons
  • How to assess commitments honestly without guilt
  • Why you can't go back to your "old normal" (and why that's okay)
  • Practical ways to lower the bar and ask for help
