Do you ever feel like your planner collects dust and your phone dings just stress you out? I’ve been there too. I’ve always said, “If it’s not in the calendar, it’s not happening!” — but it wasn’t until I learned to pair my digital tools with my paper planner that my time finally started to make sense.

In this episode, we’re breaking down simple time management using your planner and Google Calendar — the perfect tools to help you live out the Time Zoning method. I’ll show you how to set up your week, what belongs in your calendar (and what doesn’t!), and how to give your brain space to rest while still getting things done.

By the end, you’ll be ready to grab a planner from your cupboard, dust it off, and start using it again — but this time, with purpose.

Let’s do this together, one simple zone at a time. Tune in and get ready to feel excited about organizing your time again!

If you’ve ever felt like keeping up with meals, cleaning, and kids is an endless game of catch-up, you’re not alone. I’ve been there—standing in my kitchen at 5 p.m., wondering how it all slipped away again.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I finally found peace through routine stacks—simple sequences that take the chaos out of daily life. I’ll walk you through how to build your own stack inside one zone of your day, so you can stop spinning and start moving with purpose.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to use Time Zoning and Routine Stacks to create order without burnout—and feel ready to take on tomorrow with calm confidence.

Do you ever reach the end of the day wondering what you actually did — yet feeling completely spent? It’s not that you aren’t working hard… it’s that your time is scattered.

In this episode, we’re walking through how to build a weekly rhythm that actually fits your life. You’ll learn how to look at your week as a whole, take inventory of your time, and group your activities into simple time zones — what I like to call “baskets” for your day.

When you keep similar tasks together, you save time, energy, and mental space. Instead of running from one thing to the next, you’ll move through your day with purpose and flow.

By the end, you’ll have the first version of your normal week — a simple baseline to guide your routines and help you build the calm, steady rhythm your family needs.

So grab a notebook, and let’s start building a week that actually makes sense.
