29| Behind the Scenes of My Weekly Planning Routine

Where are my planner girls at?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ If you light up at the thought of fresh pages, colorful pens, and a new month to organize, this episode is for YOU. And if planning feels a little overwhelming, don’t worry—I’m breaking it down to make it simple and fun. 🌈

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why planning isn’t just about productivity—it’s about living intentionally and stewarding your time well.
  
  
• A powerful scripture (Ephesians 5:15–16) to guide your time management with faith.
  
  
• How I plan my year, month, and week—from my giant dry-erase wall calendar to my digital and paper planners.
  
  
• How color-coding and 15-minute increments help me stay focused and reduce decision fatigue.
  
  
• Why leaving margin is one of the best gifts you can give yourself (yes, white space is holy too!).
  
  
• Fun brain science facts on how planning boosts dopamine and motivation 🎉
  
  
• And why I’ll take planner dopamine over doom-scrolling any day! 🙌
  
  

✨ Whether you're a seasoned planner or just getting started, you’ll walk away from this episode feeling empowered to take back your time and use it to build a life that’s anchored in purpose.

Mentioned in This Episode:

• Ephesians 5:15–16 — “Be careful then how you live, not as unwise but as wise…”
  
  
• My favorite planning tools: big dry-erase annual calendar, Google calendar, and a 15-minute increment paper planner
