Let’s talk about transitions. Not the big, sweeping life changes (although we’ve all had our share of those), but the tiny ones that happen all day, every day—the five minutes between a work meeting and school pickup, the 20 minutes between getting the kids to bed and trying to unwind, the awkward in-between moments when you shift from one part of your day to another.
Most of us move through these transition points without thinking… or worse, by defaulting to our phones or cramming in “just one more thing.” But the truth is, how we handle transitions has a huge impact on how we feel throughout the day. And if we don’t manage them well, it can leave us feeling like we’re always rushing, never resting, and constantly scattered.
This week, I’m sharing why transitions matter more than you think and a few simple ideas for how to be more intentional with them.
Stop defaulting to distractions.
When you have five free minutes, what do you do? If your answer is “check my phone” or “scroll Instagram,” you’re not alone, but you’re also not using that moment as a true transition. These micro-moments can be opportunities to reset, breathe, or simply do nothing (yes, that’s allowed). Start noticing your patterns and ask yourself: “Is this helping me reset, or is it adding more noise?”
Add a “bridge” between activities.
If you’ve ever felt like you were jolted into the next part of your day without any warning, you probably needed a better bridge. Transitions don’t have to be long, but they do need to be intentional. Try a 60-second pause, a quick walk around the house, or even just standing up and stretching. These little rituals help your brain shift gears so you’re not carrying the stress of one activity into the next.
Protect white space in your weekly plan.
If your schedule is packed from morning to night with no breathing room, transitions will always feel like a luxury you don’t have time for. That’s why I’m so passionate about weekly planning. When you create a realistic plan that includes margin, you actually get to enjoy those moments between the moments—and show up more present for what’s next.
Anchor your day with intentional routines.
Bookend your day with routines that serve as transitions in and out of your daily responsibilities. Maybe it’s a few minutes of journaling before you start work, or a walk after dinner to mentally close out the day. These small habits build structure—and give your mind a moment to catch up with your body.
Transitions are where overwhelm creeps in… or peace finds its way through. The more intentional we are with these micro-moments, the more in control and grounded we feel—even on the busiest days.
So this week, don’t just plan your tasks—plan your transitions too. Even 30 seconds can make a difference.

This Week’s Buzz: Can you use AI to help estimate how long tasks will take?
When you’re tackling something new—like launching a podcast, painting a room, or planning an event—it can feel impossible to know how much time to set aside. That’s where AI tools like ChatGPT can come in handy… if you know how to ask the right way.
