Subscribe to our Google calendar for reminders tinyURL.com/BYWDcalendar) ABOUT THIS EPISODE: If you dread Mondays, then you'll LOVE our latest podcast episode. Studies show that PLANNING reduces stress and anxiety which is why both of us have a habit of taking 5-10 minutes on Sunday to plan our week before it starts. Planning is the process of thinking about the steps needed to achieve a goal. This can be a goal as small as repainting a piece of furniture or as large as buying a home. No matter the goal, if you start by planning it out you will create a cascade of benefits in your life including: reduced stress and a higher likelihood of following through. As we often say, "Planning is always the first step." Which is why we are such big fans of planning your week before it starts.

08/02/2024 Duração: 26min(This is the audio only portion of our weekly Thursday 9:30am PT/ 12:30pm ET weekly live stream. Subscribe to our Google calendar for reminders tinyURL.com/BYWDcalendar) ABOUT THIS EPISODE: When you become a parent or caregiver, there are so many things you have to do to keep your charge alive, that it becomes a habit to put their needs first. However, at some point, your kiddo becomes more self-sufficient and you might find yourself doing things out of habit that you no longer need to do. It can be hard to shift out of that "baby first" mindset and put yourself first. You "should" on yourself, "but I should do bake cupcakes from scratch for the whole class even though I hate baking" or "I should spend all my time on their needs" or "I should attend this birthday party when my schedule is already full". STOP SHOULDING ON YOURSELF. We talk more about this on this episode. We have officially changed our podcast name to Harness the Power of Planning. It was previ

Episode #40 02/01/2024 Self-knowledge with Ikigai (a reason for being) concept
02/02/2024 Duração: 32min(This is the audio only portion of our weekly Thursday 9:30am PT/ 12:30pm ET weekly live stream. Subscribe to our Google calendar for reminders tinyURL.com/BYWDcalendar) ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Self-knowledge is a critical component of life design. You can't build the life of your dreams if you don't know what you want. Ikigai is a Japanese word that translates as "a reason for being" and Alegre found it to be a helpful tool in understanding the professional path she's traveled and why she kept searching for her Ikigai. Ikigai as we describe it grew out of the work of many Westerners and the Venn diagram we discuss is designed for the Western mind. Check out our blog post about Ikigai for the diagram mentioned in the podcast. We have officially changed our podcast name to Harness the Power of Planning.

Episode #39 01/25/2024 Holiday Post-Mortem

Subscribe to our Google calendar for reminders tinyURL.com/BYWDcalendar) ABOUT THIS EPISODE: We believe that doing event post-mortems is a great way to capture any learning you received in a timely manner. If you don't think about what worked, what didn't work, what you'd do more of, what you'd do less of, then the holidays will roll around again and you might end up making the same mistakes. But with a post-mortem you can write down the changes you want to make, tuck it away in your planner or in our book Rock Your Holidays, and have it easy to access next holiday season.
