Episode notes
Use A Short Morning Planning Ritual
- Do plan during a fixed short morning ritual to set the day's scaffold and reduce decision fatigue.
- Sarah wakes at 5, brews coffee, fills habit metrics, then spends 15–20 minutes (45 on Mondays) choosing tasks and time blocks for the day.
Schedule Planning On Your Calendar
- Do schedule planning sessions on your calendar to build the habit and treat planning as a task itself.
- Sarah recommends writing specific times (e.g., 6:00–6:15) or adding a weekly review block so you actually show up to plan.
Time Block Specific Projects Not Every Minute
- Try time blocking only for unstructured chunks and define what you'll accomplish in the block.
- Sarah uses morning planning to assign projects to free slots (e.g., 1–3pm closed-email block to finish report sections).
