346. How I Plan My Entire Summer Around Two Types of Days
Summer is coming, and if you've got kids at home, you already know the tension: you want the lazy pool days AND you need to get things done. This episode is the system that makes both possible.
I'm revisiting one of my all-time favorite summer planning tools: A days, B days, and C days, and this year I'm going deeper than I have before. I'm also sharing the extra layer that business owners especially need to hear: how to figure out your true "have-tos" before summer hits so you're not scrambling all season long.
This is one of those episodes that sounds simple and then changes how you plan every single week of summer. I hear from women inside the TOP program all the time who use this not just in summer, but year-round, and once you get the framework, you'll see why.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- What A days, B days, and C days actually are and how they're different from just "blocking time"
- How I structure an A day (family-forward) so I still get my work done without sacrificing the fun
- What a B day looks like in my house, including how I talk through it with my teenage daughter ahead of time
- Why the family communication center is the thing that actually makes this work
- The business owner layer: how to audit your recurring tasks before summer and decide what's a true have-to vs. what you can let go of
- Why I only apply A days and B days Monday through Friday and why protecting weekends matters more in summer than any other time of year
- How to use this framework even if you're not running a business (yes, it works for you too)
- How to look ahead at June, July, and August right now and start mapping it out
