Ep. 95 | Summer Schedules, Planner Fails, and the Best Decision We Made This Year

If you’ve ever color-coded a brand new planner only to abandon it eleven weeks later, set a boundary around your time and felt like you could finally breathe again, or found yourself trying to figure out how to fit writing time, summer with your kids, and cleaning your own house into the margins of your day — this episode is for you. This week we are pulling back the curtain on our current working rhythms: what’s changed, what’s working, and what we had to learn the hard way. Listen in.

Tune in to Hear:

Why Sandy flips her schedule every summer.
What MK’s “summer margins” look like as she balances editing work with full-on kid season.
How constant notifications pushed us toward burnout—and the conversation that finally forced us to change.
Our very different reactions to the same fancy planner: one of us abandoned it, the other became mildly obsessed with erasable colored pencils.
The difference between a maker’s schedule and a manager’s schedule, and why that distinction changed how we think about work.
