29| Behind the Scenes of My Weekly Planning Routine

Where are my planner girls at?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ If you light up at the thought of fresh pages, colorful pens, and a new month to organize, this episode is for YOU. And if planning feels a little overwhelming, don’t worry—I’m breaking it down to make it simple and fun. 🌈 In this episode, I’m sharing: Why planning isn’t just about productivity—it’s about living intentionally and stewarding your time well. A powerful scripture (Ephesians 5:15–16) to guide your time management with faith. How I plan my year, month, and week—from my giant dry-erase wall calendar to my digital and paper planners. How color-coding and 15-minute increments help me stay focused and reduce decision fatigue. Why leaving margin is one of the best gifts you can give yourself (yes, white space is holy too!). Fun brain science facts on how planning boosts dopamine and motivation 🎉 And why I’ll take planner dopamine over doom-scrolling any day! 🙌 ✨ Whether you're a seasoned planner or just getting started, you’ll walk away from this episode feeling empowered to take back your time and use it to build a life that’s anchored in purpose. Mentioned in This Episode: Ephesians 5:15–16 — “Be careful then how you live, not as unwise but as wise…” My favorite planning tools: big dry-erase annual calendar, Google calendar, and a 15-minute increment paper planner Want help building a planning system that works for your life?
