Hey everyone and welcome to get your hopes up. I'm Chrissy Wright and I'm so glad you're here.

Romans 1513 says may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him

so that you may overflow with hope by power of the

Holy Spirit. Our God is the God of Hope and he wants you to overflow with hope. So let's start our

week by getting our hopes up again. Now today we are talking about how to stop feeling overwhelmed.

Sounds good, right? I don't know about you but I feel overwhelmed all the time. My life is

overwhelming my kids are overwhelming my business is overwhelming and my house

is certainly overwhelming. The to-do list is an

ending and if we're not careful we will feel scattered and confused and always

feeling like we're coming from behind. It's going to steal our enjoyment of the present and guess what?

We're never going to have it all together so we need to figure this out.

Today we're going to talk about how I plan my day. Planning my day

intentionally with a very simple morning routine is what helps me reduce the

sense of overwhelm in my life. This is how I cut through the clutter. This is how I start my day focused and I know what I want to get done most.

So let's go back to 2020, not all of the bad parts of 2020 but in 2020 I wrote my book Take Back Your Time

that book released in the fall of 2021 it became a number one national best-selling

book and all of this happened right before God

called me to leave Ramsey. Well when I wrote this book I also had it in mind the

idea of a sister product, a journal, a planner, something that helped you do

practically and tactically what I teach you to do in the book Take Back Your

Time. I created a workbook that went with Take Back Your Time, which you can download at ChristieWrite.com if you want that workbook to follow along with the actual book. But I also had in mind a planner. I thought I want to teach them how to have a morning routine

that's going to help them feel focused and know what their priorities are.
