Summary
Are you ready to plan your next 120 days with me on Planning Day? It's time to dream about what is possible, not for the whole year! That is overwhelming and you never know how life is going to change.
Don't miss the seminar on the 24th where I am going to share my thoughts on things like the food chain and oil prices because these things can affect your next 120 days. My hope is that it helps you to better prepare for Planning Day and all the projects you are considering. And what Golden windows are coming up for you? Are you going to have a window of time where you could conquer a meaty goal? I want you to already be thinking about this. Do you have a milestone birthday or maybe a big anniversary for you or your parents? By planning, these important events get the time and attention they deserve. You get to celebrate them as you want instead of throwing something together when you are surprised by it.
I want you to start thinking and dreaming now. You prep for the cleaning lady and you need to prep for Planning Day. Prep will be April 30th. If this is your first time hearing about Planning Day, then I want to encourage you to get a system in place for planning. You have the Sunday Basket for weekly planning and Planning Day is the system for trimester planning. So to prep, you can start filling in holidays and things that happen routinely during summer in your workbook. You will bring all of this to Prep Day for Planning Day. Prep day is two hours for you to move paper to your binders, think ahead to what awaits in the next 120 days, work on your calendar box, and your tear sheets.
Then we dive in on May 1st for four glorious hours to evaluate your time, establish routines you'd like to try, and get a plan in place for the next 120 days. I find when I set my sights on one goal I accomplish it and it allows me to focus on a bigger goal, a more impactful goal. In this episode, I went through page by page of how I guide you through the workbook. This episode is all about what to expect during Planning Day and food for thought now about what you will write in your workbook on May 1st. Your weekday time is very different than your Saturday time and Sunday time. You may think you have no time for project, personal development, or organizing but Planning Day will reveal pockets of time where you get to choose what you will do with that time. We look at your available time in about 4 different ways. And I get you thinking about summer food, cleaning, and laundry. You may have never thought about it before but summer energy and activities change up our food, cleaning and laundry. I will talk a little but then you have time to think and then take action. Fill in your workbook with what you think you want to try this next 120 days and plan for upcoming events. Welcome to the productive people club because this is how productive people think and accomplish their goals. See you on April 30th!!

| 0:50.3 | All right, you guys, grab a coffee. This one is going to be a long one. I am so over ready to plan my summer. It is not even funny. I think that there are a couple of reasons why. |
| 0:56.4 | Number one, I have submitted in my final dissertation. So we are graduating on June 29th. |
| 1:03.2 | I have booked the hotel. I am registered for graduation. The PhD is going to be officially over. |
| 1:09.9 | Also, I am moving back into being full-time CEO, wife, mother, and out of the semi-significantly |
| 1:19.9 | part-time grandma role I've been playing for the last four months. |
| 1:24.1 | And the world is my oyster. |
| 1:26.4 | Here's what I found. |
| 1:30.2 | When I was a stay-at-home mom, |
| 1:35.8 | obviously my life revolved around my children, their needs, and the changing of the seasons would a lot be, you know, what was the next thing the kids were doing? What life skills were I going to |
| 1:40.2 | teach them this summer? You know, what were the economics of our family? How are we going to take our annual trip to the beach? As my kids launched into adulthood, |
| 1:49.0 | and I've grown in my role as the CEO and organized 365, I have a lot of time. |
| 1:54.5 | Like, so much time that I spent 25 hours per week getting a PhD for the last three years |
| 1:59.9 | and three months. And now all that time is coming back to |
| 2:03.8 | me. Now, I've parlayed some of that into a gym membership and working out. But even with driving time, |
| 2:10.4 | that's like 12 hours a week. It's not 25 hours a week. I have a lot of time and I have a lot of |
