Description

Organize October Challenge! simplyconvivial.com/october | Maybe you don't have too much to do. Maybe you just need a better management system! Rachael shares how she translates big-picture values like intimacy with the Lord, marriage, hospitality, and stewardship into daily and weekly rhythms. She shows her custom clipboard planner, which includes:

A weekly dashboard with top 3 priorities, habits, meals, and projects
A daily top 3 to stay focused in the moment
A weekly review page to track milestones, prayers, and God’s presence
An interval review system that keeps the big picture in view

We also talk about embracing limitations as a gift, using planners as flexible tools, and why remembering what God has done builds gratitude and joy.

This episode is part of Organized October, focused on making your planner work for real family life.
