Summary
When we use our planner as our datebook, we may have an idea of the times of our appointments and commitments, but we don’t align our weekly focus with the goals we actually want to accomplish in our lives. In this episode, Lisa explains her purposeful decision to not do laundry, and the deeper reason why she chooses intentionality over obligation.
Lisa shares the problem with the readily available planners in today’s market, and why the Home CEO Planner is different.
If you are looking for permission to let go of the guilt and start intentionally focusing your time toward the things that matter to you, this episode will speak to you.
Listen to Podcast 134 to get the full details on how Lisa divides the year into three planning seasons.
