Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women — Education
Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women

You wake up with a plan. By 10 AM, it’s completely off the rails. By bedtime, you’re mentally running through everything you didn’t get to and wondering how tomorrow will be any different.

Work + Life Harmony is the weekly podcast that teaches women a completely different approach to time management, weekly planning, and productivity.

Hosted by Megan Sumrell, a time management expert with 20+ years in systems and planning, this show will change the way you think about your calendar, your to-do list, and how you spend your time.

Megan covers everything from weekly planning strategies and daily routines to goal setting, organization, and how to handle the curveballs that throw your whole week off. Her approach was built specifically for women managing work, family, and the million things in between, not recycled advice from productivity systems designed for someone else’s life.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of overwhelm, guilt, and never-ending to-do lists, start here. New episodes every week.

Anxiety and Planning Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

While weekly planning and time management are not meant to bring stress to your life, many people struggle with feelings of anxiety when it comes to making plans. In this episode, we’re getting to the heart of planning anxiety and the strategies you need to plan in a way that supports you.

If this is you, this week I am sharing some simple strategies for weekly planning that can help you approach making plans or thinking about your plans without that overwhelming anxiety creeping in.

**Please note that I am not a trained counselor or healthcare professional, so any advice I share related to coping with anxiety is simply coming from my own experiences and observations.

The real reasons you may be experiencing planning anxiety
The true purpose of planning and time management tools
How to approach weekly planning in way that supports you and helps you see what’s possible
