About this episode

Diana continues the back-to-school theme with strategies you can implement all year round.

Key highlights:

  • Prep for smoother mornings: Avoid the morning rush by packing lunches, organizing backpacks, and laying out clothes the night before.
  • Simplify Your Life: Set alarms, plan outfits ahead of time, and keep your car clean and fueled to save time and energy.
  • Clear Your Head: Do a weekly "brain dump" to get everything out of your head and onto paper, then prioritize and schedule tasks to stay organized and focused.
