The Weekly Planning

At the beginning of each week, spend thirty minutes planning what you want to accomplish. Not a detailed schedule. Not an overwhelming list. Just a clear sense of what matters this week and how you will approach it.

This weekly planning helps you work with intention instead of just reacting. When you know what matters, you can make better choices about how to spend your time. You can say no to things that do not align. You can say yes to things that do.

Your weekly plan might include: the most important projects you want to move forward, the key tasks that need to be done, and any boundaries or practices you want to maintain. Keep it simple. The goal is clarity, not complexity.

When you have a weekly plan, you can start each day with direction. You know what matters. You can make choices that align with your priorities. This is more effective than just reacting to whatever comes up.

Try it this week. Spend thirty minutes planning what you want to accomplish. Keep it simple. Then use this plan to guide your choices throughout the week. Notice how much more intentional your week becomes when you start with a plan. The weekly planning is not about control. It is about intention.
