Episode notes
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.

- Focus on three starter practices: daily pages, weekly preview, and an evening ritual to set up the next day.
- Use weekly previews to reduce anxiety and evening rituals to make mornings achievable.

- Aim for the intention (the why) when spoons are low and add steps later as capacity returns.
