063: 3 common planning mistakes that aren’t commonly talked about

If you often find that things don’t go to plan, or that you’re not getting to the work you’d actually *like* to do, there are a few little things you can shift in the way you plan that could make a big difference.

I didn’t want to bring you just another episode with planning or productivity tips that you’ve heard a bazillion times before or that you can easily find on Google. I wanted to instead talk about a few things that I haven’t, or that have been very rarely mentioned in productivity or time management resources I've seen.

A side note: even though the title of the episode is “common planning mistakes”, I’m not here to say that you’re doing something “wrong”. The three things I’m about to share with you are things that are the result of how planning and time management are often talked about, especially in in hustle culture, which is what many of us have been subjected to and thus it’s the way we think we should be doing things.

So I’m hoping that you don’t feel like I’m pointing fingers at mistakes, but rather shining a light on just a few key things you could shift to make planning, and sticking to plans, work better for you.
