Episode notes
Begin With An Ideal Day
- Start with an ideal day instead of an ideal week to avoid overwhelm and make planning manageable.
- Use that day to design rituals and identify friction points before expanding to a full week.
Design Your Space For Your Brain
- Disorganization often reflects a mismatch between environments and diverse brains, not personal failure.
- Adjust systems (like keeping socks by the door) to fit how your brain actually operates.
Drop Shame — Use The Planner As Support
- When you stop using your planner, drop the shame and treat it as a supportive guardrail rather than a moral test.
- Reopen the planner as a tool to reduce executive burden and help you be present, not as punishment.
