Introducing the Full Focus Wellness Planner
The Full Focus Wellness Planner is presented as an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their self-care and overall well-being.

The planner includes additional resources such as a heart check and a vision sketch, making it a comprehensive guide for personal well-being. Users have started to provide positive feedback after receiving their planners, highlighting the excitement around this innovative product.
Setting Your Daily Big Three: Timing and Techniques
Establishing the 'Daily Big Three' is emphasized as a flexible practice, with the hosts sharing their differing preferences on when to set these priorities. They discuss three main options: in the morning, at the workday's start, or as part of the shutdown ritual, evaluating the benefits and challenges of each approach. The morning option is seen as consistent but may lead to overestimation of tasks, while the workday shutdown encourages realistic planning based on completed tasks. Ultimately, the most critical aspect is not when the Daily Big Three is set, but the habit of consistently identifying daily priorities.
Adapting Rituals to Personal Needs
The podcast delves into the importance of tailoring daily rituals to suit personal lifestyles and needs, particularly in the context of family dynamics and responsibilities. One host shares insights from their experience with young children, emphasizing the necessity of waking early to ensure preparation before morning chaos begins. Discussing the balance between work tasks and family time, they advocate for strategizing one's rituals to maximize moments spent with loved ones while also being organized. This segment reinforces the idea that finding what works personally is crucial for maintaining both focus and connection in daily life.
The question, "When you set your Daily Big 3?" is perhaps the most debated and most personal choice that every planner user has to grapple with. Should you set your Daily Big 3 during your morning ritual, the workday startup, your workday shutdown, or even the (apparently) controversial evening ritual?
Courtney and Blake identify the four potential opportunities to set your Daily Big 3 and share the pros and cons for each one. Also, Nick asks Courtney to detail her morning ritual.
