Ep 565: [Planning Series] How To Plan Amidst Uncertainty

[Part 3 of 5] Most perfectionists find it challenging to plan out their week when they don't know what will come up or how much energy they'll have. Whether you're working an exhausting day job, doing shift work or raising young children alongside building your business - there are certain things that can feel hard to plan around. Especially when no one has taught you how to plan properly…

Some perfectionists plan their week as if everything will go smoothly, hoping for the best and then abandoning their plans when the inevitable happens. Others feel like they can't make plans at all and wing it day-by-day, praying they'll be able to find the motivation to do what matters most. But neither of these approaches work.

That's why I interviewed Michelle Weeks on how to plan properly amidst uncertainty. Michelle is a PGSD Coach as well as being a life coach. Michelle and I are mothers of 6-month-old babies (Freddie and Lydia). And we're both using Power Planning to get out of our own way and get shit done in our businesses.

Tune into this episode to discover all of the practical things we do to make Power Planning work for us when life is throwing constant curveballs.
