Still Have Questions? I’ve Got Answers!
What differentiates this planning approach from focus, blocking or habit planning?
It is all about taking tried-and-true tactics and layering in a mindset that puts your career and happiness at the forefront. Most planning approaches give your the framework to organize your time, but do not guide you through what to focus your time on and how to create room to breath while sparking joy.
How is this planning method realistic with the constant onslaught of unrealistic deadlines?
I have been there! Slow and steady wins the race. By first understanding how your mindset can reframe how your look at your list of deadlines, then to taking small steps over a period of time to create tools, resources, and frameworks to help you move projects out of your way so you can focus on the good stuff. There is a method to the madness and it will lead you to be able to keep pace and grow!
