320 Why Daily Planning Fails Working Moms
You're not failing at daily planning. Daily planning is failing you.
If you're a working mom who wakes up, looks at your calendar, makes your to-do list, and then spends the entire day feeling like you're perpetually behind, this episode is going to explain exactly why. The problem isn't that you're bad at time management or that you need to try harder. The problem is that daily planning keeps you trapped in a constant state of reaction, scrambling to put out fires and crossing off urgent tasks while your longer-term goals collect dust. And when life throws you a curveball (because it will), everything falls apart.
When you're a working mom, disruptions don't just steal an hour. The school calls at 10 AM with a sick kid? That's your entire afternoon gone. There's no space in a daily plan to absorb that kind of pivot without staying up until midnight trying to catch up. The good news? There's a better way to plan that actually works for the realities of your life. And once you understand why daily planning is mathematically designed to fail you, everything is going to click into place.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- Why daily planning traps working moms in constant reaction mode
- The math problem that makes daily planning impossible for caregivers
- What happens when disruptions steal hours, not minutes, from your day
- Why you always feel behind (and why it's not your fault)
- The planning shift that finally gives you space to breathe and pivot
