However, at some point, your kiddo becomes more self-sufficient and you might find yourself doing things out of habit that you no longer need to do. It can be hard to shift out of that "baby first" mindset and put yourself first. You "should" on yourself, "but I should do bake cupcakes from scratch for the whole class even though I hate baking" or "I should spend all my time on their needs" or "I should attend this birthday party when my schedule is already full". STOP SHOULDING ON YOURSELF. We talk more about this on this episode. We have officially changed our podcast name to Harness the Power of Planning. It was previ

You can't build the life of your dreams if you don't know what you want. Ikigai is a Japanese word that translates as "a reason for being" and Alegre found it to be a helpful tool in understanding the professional path she's traveled and why she kept searching for her Ikigai. Ikigai as we describe it grew out of the work of many Westerners and the Venn diagram we discuss is designed for the Western mind. Check out our blog post about Ikigai for the diagram mentioned in the podcast. We have officially changed our podcast name to Harness the Power of Planning.

If you don't think about what worked, what didn't work, what you'd do more of, what you'd do less of, then the holidays will roll around again and you might end up making the same mistakes. But with a post-mortem you can write down the changes you want to make, tuck it away in your planner or in our book Rock Your Holidays, and have it easy to access next holiday season.

Every month we lead our alumni group in a monthly course correct. This is based on a concept that we teach in our Harness the Power of Planning course because even when you know where you are going and you have a plan to get there, you need to course correct.
