When we are stressed and overwhelmed, planning is usually the first thing to go by the wayside. But intentional planning doesn’t have to take up a ton of time, and can have incredible benefits!
In today’s conversation, I’m talking again with Sarah Horgan from Simple + Intentional about her best tips for intentional planning to combat anxiety and overwhelm.
Sarah is a full-time teacher, mom and wife who is passionate about helping women change their lives through decluttering.
After a cancer diagnosis in 2014, she discovered her perfectionism and people pleasing were holding her back and creating a lot of overwhelm. This was also the year she first discovered minimalism and slowly started getting rid of things.
Fast forward to 2018 and becoming a mom. The overwhelm forced Sarah to start examining her relationship with stuff and the big purge began. And she hasn't looked back!
Now Sarah helps other moms deal with their clutter, get organized and create systems + routines to make life easier.
You can find her on Instagram, her website or in the simple + intentional Facebook community
