320. Hold Your Plans Loosely - A Time Management Mindset Shift for Working Moms

Hi Mamas, 

If you’ve ever: 

• Started your day with a plan… and felt like it fell apart instantly  

• Gotten frustrated when things didn’t go “as expected”  

• Felt behind just because your day didn’t go perfectly  

This episode is for you. 

 

💛 Today, we’re talking about why your plans aren’t the problem… And how holding onto them too tightly might actually be creating more stress. 

Because as working moms, we: 

• Plan our days  

• Plan our weeks  

• Try to map out everything in advance  

And while planning is helpful… Expecting everything to go exactly according to plan? That’s where the pressure comes from. That’s why today’s quote is so important…. “Hold your plans loosely.” 

💛 Today we’re talking about… 

• Why rigid expectations lead to stress and overwhelm  

• How to plan your week without feeling pressure  

• The difference between intention and control  

• How to stay calm and flexible when your day shifts  

• A simple mindset shift that creates more peace in your daily life  

💛 Your Weekly Challenge 

Make your plan… 

But leave space. 

When something shifts this week, instead of spiraling or starting over… 

Pause and say: 

👉 “This is just part of the day.” 

Then adjust… and keep going.
