Three Priorities, Five Steps, Zero Meltdowns

I share my detailed weekly planning ritual that keeps my business running smoothly and prevents my brain from melting into a puddle of chaos when juggling content, client work, admin tasks, and life commitments.

• Weekly planning helps prioritize what matters in both business and life
• The ritual starts with reviewing the previous week without judgment, looking at what worked and what didn't
• Reconnect with quarterly goals by identifying one thing that will move you closer to achieving them
• Plug in non-negotiables first (appointments, client calls, personal commitments) to see realistic time capacity
• Set only three priorities for the week based on revenue, visibility, and what will benefit your future self
• Break down priorities into daily focuses using task batching (CEO day, content day, client day, buffer day)
• Time block only the tasks you struggle with or might avoid (like Instagram engagement)
• Brain dump all small tasks and fit them around your priorities
• When things fall apart, identify what's essential and adjust based on current capacity
• Create a ritual around planning to make it feel grounding instead of overwhelming
