Ep. 394: Do I Need a Better Planning System?

Okay, so I have a question for you. How do you figure out what to do with your time during any given day? Now, I think this question matters more now than it ever has before, because if you don't have a good answer to it, if you just sort of wing it as your day unfolds, guess what forces are going to take control of your intention? Email, Slack, social media, online chatter, YouTube, streaming services. This is a show about finding depth in a distracted world.

And to succeed in this goal, you need a good planning system. But how do you create a system that's not only going to work, but is something you're going to stick with over time? This is what I want to talk to you about today. And I have an expert that's going to join me to help us in this conversation. Her name is Sarah Hartunger.

She's a a doctor and a mother and also a planning aficionado. She's the host of the Best Laid Plans podcast, on which I've been a guest. And in December, she published a book with that same name that had the subtitle A Simple Planning System for Living a Life That You Love. Amazon selected it as one of the best nonfiction books. of the month.
