Planners saved my life.

As a new mom back in 2015, I found myself putting everyone and everything else before my own needs.

Self-care was at the very bottom of the to-do list (if it made it there at all).

My Simplified Planner* empowered me to physically create time in my schedule to take care of myself, and in return every other aspect of my life has improved.

It took nearly a year, an ER trip, thousands of dollars in medical bills, and a lot of tears before I realized that taking time for myself HAD to be a top priority in my life.  

 
 
 

The Plan to Plan Process

Put on your comfy pants, pour yourself a glass of wine, and get your favorite guilty pleasure TV show queued up on Netflix as you map out your week in your planner.

Plan to Plan is built on a 3 part framework of putting:

  1. Your self-care first

  2. Your obligations to others second

  3. Your to-do list third

I talk about personality types A LOT. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It fascinates me how different ones can tell us different things, but moreso how those different personality typing frameworks can work together to give you strategic insight into who you are, what motivates you, and how you interact with the world around you. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I firmly believe that planning isn't a one size fits all type of thing and that it all starts with self-awareness. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To learn more about what I'm talking about, head to the link in my bio or wherever you listen to podcasts and listen to episode 001 of The Plan to Plan Podcast. * * * * #podcast #podcaster #newpodcast #episode001 #debbieford #selfawareness #fourtendencies #enneagram #myersbriggs #16personalities #itiswhatitis #grandrapidssmallbusiness #knowthyself #personalitytypes #personalitytest #personalitytype #femalefounder #psychologyofplanning #planner #planning #plantoplan #plantoplanpodcast #plantoplancommunity
DO YOU HAVE A MORNING ROUTINE YOU LOVE? * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When people come to me to learn about planning, the morning routine is the first thing we cover, because the #PlantoPlan process starts with Your Self-Care First ☝️ * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s how to do it: * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First, you need to write out every step of your weekday morning routine. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then write out what you ideally want your routine to look like (if it isn’t feasible to do yet that’s okay, this is what you’ll take steps toward doing). * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once you take a look at the way you want your mornings to go, what is ONE thing you can do to get a little closer to that ideal routine? * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe it’s waking up a little earlier, which means going to bed a little earlier. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe it’s using downtime to journal or meditate instead of hopping straight on your phone. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whatever it looks like is okay! If your mind jumps to working out in the morning, but working out in the morning isn’t your bag, then don’t put that on your ideal schedule just because you feel like you should. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lastly, because what gets written gets done in planning world, you’ll write the steps of your routine into your planner every day/week. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This gives your routines physical space in your schedule which drastically increases the likelihood that you’ll do it. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So what will your routines look like this week? * * * * #routine #morningroutine #morning #mornings #morningpages #coffee #gratitudejournal #planner #planning #plantoplancommunity #grandrapidssmallbusiness #planningfairygodmother #plannerfairygodmother #plantoplanprocess #selfcare #selfcompassion #youcomefirst #sundaymorning #bekindtoyourself #loveyourself #selflove
Hiiii! New faces, old faces, whichever you are, allow me to introduce myself! * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm Megan, your Planning Fairy Godmother and Goal Strategist! * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I help women and business owners leverage their personality types to find the right planner, and create planning and goal setting strategies based on those types. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ AKA: You get shit done and everybody wins. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wanted to talk about how I got into this business today! * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The short story is that motherhood rocked my world AND my body (unfortunately not like JT would do it). It triggered an auto-immune disorder and I spent the first 6 months of my daughter's life in a manic state, writing out to-do lists on legal pads and having ZERO compassion for myself. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What I was doing wasn't working - I ended up in the ER. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I learned how to plan. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I bought myself a @Simplified Planner from Emily Ley, and channeled my manic energy into learning how to use it. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started having conversations with others about planning, learning about planners, and becoming a student of goals. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since then, The Goal Designer has grown into a community of amazing humans learning the different ways there are to plan, which way is best for them, and building each other up along the way. * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So HI! I'm glad you're here, friend :) * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some ways to connect (all links are in my bio): * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. The Plan to Plan Community over on Facebook * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. The Plan to Plan Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Instagram Stories! I love popping up in there :) * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Say hi down below, I'd love to connect! * * * * Photo credit: @snapjoystudio #planner #planning #planningfairygodmother #plannerfairygodmother #plannerexpert #planningexpert #goals #goalsetting #youvegotgoals #goalcrusher #grwomenwho #grbossbabes #grandrapids #autoimmune #gravesdisease #mania #simplifiedplanner #emilyley #saturday #saturdayintroductions #smallbusinessowner #personalitytype #planningpersonality #planningpersonalitytype #publicspeaker #selfcompassion
