Summary

In today's episode, Sarah revisits her own summer planning and discusses how she shifted her goals to reflect current priorities and time pressure. She reminds listeners that sometimes planning can mean downshifting in one area to focus on another, and that while we can do a lot - we cannot focus on every area at once. Then, a mini-review of the Mark's Log Diary from JetPens. This book is super cute and has some unique features, but those with large handwriting may want to avoid! JetPens Chat GPT video mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mO35uSMkFA Finally, 3 listeners share tips on organizing photos + digital memories, from daily pruning to Chatbooks to Miss Freddy.

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
0:14.2	all things planning and planning adjacent.
0:17.0	I have a follow-up episode for you today, but also a mini-review and a follow-up discussion of photo books and memory-keeping,
0:26.6	mostly because several of you sent me some fantastic tips on this topic and I wanted to be able to share.
0:32.6	But first, I will begin with some of the follow-up from last week's episode all about my summer goals and kind of
0:39.1	an unsettled feeling that I was having about too much time pressure and too many things that I
0:45.0	had set out to do with not enough clear days to do them. Just to revisit, the summer's about 10
0:52.1	weeks long, and we are traveling a bit more than usual this
0:56.5	summer. We're taking two short trips, one of them next week, one of them a couple weeks after that,
1:01.3	and then a nearly two-week trip. Really, it is a two-week trip all the way to the West Coast,
1:07.1	and I really don't want to be doing work on those trips. I don't want to be doing clinical work, and I don't want to be doing work on those trips.
1:11.6	I don't want to be doing clinical work and I don't want to be doing podcast-related work.
1:15.3	I want to be able to lean in to relaxation, to spending time with the kids, to family, to making
1:21.8	memories, et cetera.
1:23.2	And when I looked at that, plus the fact that I wanted to do one-on-one days with each of my three kids,
1:29.3	there just weren't that many days left over the course of June, July, and the first half of August,
1:35.3	which for me is quintile number three or summer, where I could work on pursuits related to
1:41.4	the podcast or courses or book proposal stuff or anything like that.
1:46.6	There just aren't that many days.
1:49.4	And at first just found that really frustrating and started to think, well, what kind of
1:54.6	mental gymnastics can I do to really pack my days?
