Description

Big-picture planning doesn’t work when life changes faster than your plan does — and that’s why homemakers need interval planning.

In this episode, Mystie Winckler explains the three most common mistakes moms make when setting up their interval plans and how to avoid them so you can finally make progress without burnout.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why an interval plan doesn’t give you more time — and what it really does
✅ How to use “good procrastination” to stay focused
✅ What to do during your prep week (and what not to)
✅ How to make your interval plan fit real life, not the other way around

Make the next six to eight weeks purposeful, peaceful, and productive — without overreaching yourself or burning out.
