Listen Later

Sarah welcomes Laura back onto Best Laid Plans for this fun episode about her planning techniques. Laura recently released a book called Tranquility By Tuesday, which includes a set of 9 rules to help readers enjoy their 'regular' days even more. 3 of the rules are very planning adjacent, so they are discussed in detail on this episode!

The rules are:

  • Plan on Fridays
  • Batch the Little Things
  • Create a Backup Slot

  • To learn about the other 6, go to lauravanderkam.com! You can also find her on Best of Both Worlds (with Sarah) and solo every single day on Before Breakfast.
