Summary

In today's episode, Sarah explores the concept of intentionality. She discussed examples and ways we can unknowingly live without much intention and then suggests strategies (large and small) to promote more intentional living. Things to think about: - Career autopilot/drift - Responding to others' expectations - Saying yes to everything - Failing to set boundaries - Consuming media that is served to you via algorithms - Setting intentions for the day - Regularly re-evaluating routines and habits - Thinking through how you wish to spend precious resources - Giving yourself time and space to think through your big goals!

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to best laid plans.
0:11.3	This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent.
0:17.5	I have for you a bit of a topical planning adjacent episode today all about the topic of
0:23.7	intentionality. Intentionality is something I've thought a lot about for a while and I know that
0:30.3	on at least a couple of occasions I've made it my word of the year thinking that I wanted to
0:36.0	focus my efforts on just adding more intention to my days.
0:40.2	But I've never done a full episode around this concept. So I think this will be really fun and
0:45.4	interesting. I also think there's a lot of overlap and just interesting intersection
0:50.8	between the world of planning and the world of intentionality. And upon reflection,
0:55.2	I think that planning is necessary, but not sufficient for living an intentional life. And I think
1:02.1	you'll probably be convinced of that as well by the end of this episode. The way I'm going to
1:07.6	organize things is I'm going to go through ideas for what makes an
1:11.3	unintentional life first, and then we'll talk about adding more intentionality and what that could
1:17.8	look like. And we're going to talk about little things as well as big things. So unintentional
1:24.1	to intentional and large scale and small scale for both sides. And I think putting all of
1:29.5	those things together will provide a really interesting description and kind of just deep dive on
1:35.7	this concept. So here we go. We're going to start with what would an entirely unintentional life
1:42.0	look like. Beginning with the long term, I think the first thing I think
1:46.9	about is the idea of inertia. If you are entirely unintentional, then you're going to drift forward
1:54.7	doing whatever it is you're currently doing because you're not making the effort to make choices
2:00.3	away from that. and that in physics
2:02.7	is known as inertia and I guess in life can be extrapolated in that direction as well.
