346: Planning as an Act of Self-Investment
Entrepreneurship • Feb 11, 2026 3:04:43 PM • Written by: Erin Aquin & Steve Haase
If you've ever felt like your weekly plan is a rigid cage instead of a helpful guide, this episode will change how you think about planning forever.
Most entrepreneurs plan their weeks like robots... stacking meetings and tasks without considering their actual human needs. But what if planning could be an investment in your well-being, not a sacrifice of it? What if your calendar protected your energy instead of depleting it?
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why traditional planning methods set you up for burnout (and what to do instead)
- The color-coded calendar system that transforms how you manage your time and energy
- How to build "holy shit time" into your schedule for the unexpected
- Why planning your self-care first isn't selfish, it's strategic
- The $10,000 question that helps you decide what deserves space on your calendar
- How sustaining rituals keep you from reaching for quick fixes when you're depleted
This isn't about achieving perfect balance or becoming more productive. It's about designing a life where your business expands your energy rather than draining it.
