Sound familiar? You finish a crazy busy month thinking "next month will be easier," then you flip your calendar page and your heart sinks. Next month looks just as packed, or worse.

If you're stuck in this cycle, the problem isn't your weekly planning skills. You're missing the roadmap that actually prevents you from getting overbooked in the first place. Most women think the solution is better daily routines or time-blocking, but that's like trying to fix a leaky roof with a bigger bucket.

The real issue? You've never been taught how to do strategic annual planning that integrates your real life with your goals and dreams.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

  • Why "just in time living" keeps you constantly overbooked
  • The 4 ways annual planning prevents monthly overwhelm
  • How to stop everything from feeling urgent and important
  • Why breathing room and catch-up time aren't the same thing
  • How to integrate your real life with your goals (so you stop choosing between them)
