Three Small Changes and One Tool That will Help you See Progress and Get Rid of the Overwhelm [Episode 82]

Today we are talking about the Thriving in Motherhood Planner and three actionable steps for you to take (in our planner or another one) to help you change how you feel about your motherhood and your days and how you're using your time!

Key Points from this Episode:

• This planner grew out of really wanting to have a place for myself to be able to bring to fruition what I wanted my motherhood to look like.
• The planner solves two MAJOR problems: It's a place to empty out your brain so you can engage in real life. It's also a way to be intentional with your time without adding unnecessary pressure.

1. Change how you look at your time. Look at your time at a weekly level rather than a daily level.
2. In the next 24 hours, write down all the things you accomplished, the things you discovered, the places you went to, the books you read, what you have done with your family. You can celebrate your accomplishments and evaluate where you want your priorities to be better.
3. Ask yourself what you are curious about trying and use that to inform your vision for next year.

• Separating out inflexible appointments from flexible to-do items gives you more wiggle room as life happens and feels less overwhelming.
• Plan your weekly to-dos and do your very best not to add any more as the week goes on unless it HAS to get done. You'll see greater progress and accomplishment.
