I have a certain steps that I take when I plan. It involves colored highlighters, time blocking, checking my digital calendar and plugging those in, then filling out the details of what goes in the time blocks.
Once I reviewed the calendar I realized something:
Some days I have a lot of task switching on the docket. When I work, I do marketing materials for a contract I have then I do the coaching business. I’m also in the middle of redoing my funnel-which I’m excited about!
But there’s a lot of mental movement that has to happen. As I continued to think about the week I began to write.
The Passion Planner has an area called the “Space of Infinite Possibility” (this is registered to the company). I jotted this down:
“This week is a little chopped up in my business days because of wanting to do an hour four times a week for PPC. I may need to be more strategic with my breaks since my brain will need to switch tasks more often from Coaching, CAG, and PPC. This will be a kindness to my brain.”
Planning is not just a way to see what you have to do, It’s a way to understand how to do it and treat your brain well.

Planning is a kindness to your mind, dumping all the things making room for it to focus more on your priorities. Planning gives you a chance to plan for breaks, intentional grounding, and processing. Planning doesn’t have to make you anxious, it can be the key to relieving those anxious feelings.
I hope this helps love. Do you think you can plan to support yourself as you look at your schedule and to-do list? Let me know in the comments.
Love this! I’m a big believer that planning reduces stress… so long as you don’t hyper fixate on it, or else it becomes its own form of stress! Great post, and yay for highlighters! Linda xx
