[Bonus] Weekly Planning Gives You More Time for Your Dream

Send us Fan Mail THIS EPISODE WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN JANUARY 2023.  Find show notes for the entire Habits series here.  Could you benefit from planning out your week on Sunday nights? Preparing for the week ahead on a Sunday night will not only help you stay on top of those one-off commitments you might otherwise forget, but it also illuminates where you have pockets of time that could be used more effectively for pursuing your God-shaped dream. I started weekly planning (off-and-on) about two years ago. I usually get really excited about it at the beginning of the year and lose track when summer rolls around. But I’ve noticed that when I consistently do my weekly planning, I am less likely to be in a panic about needing to be somewhere all of a sudden (even though I made the appointment just last week), or feel unprepared for a call that’s about to happen, or wish I’d washed my hair that morning so I’d be “camera ready” for an afternoon Zoom meeting. Simply making an appointment with myself to plan once a week often means the days that follow go more smoothly. This month on the podcast I’m talking about habits to consider that will strengthen you and support your God-shaped dream. Each mini episode will focus on a particular habit and a tip/hack to help you implement it. These are short and sweet episodes (~10 minutes each) and will help you begin thinking about what you can do right now to nurture your dream by building positive habits into your life. Weekly planning has so many benefits, and in this episode, you’ll learn: A few tell-tale signs that you could benefit from weekly planning, Why to start weekly planning now, even if you’re not currently engaged in pursuing a dream, and The surprising rhythms you might discover just by starting a habit of planning out your week in advance.
