Next week, I return to my desk.
It’s been a mess for some time, as I’ve said, but I will re-approach it rested and ready after this past weekend’s Planning Retreat.
The goal(s)? To solidify and streamline my messaging and map that messaging for the second half of 2026.
Why? To free up more creative time. To simplify my administrative output. To strategize for times when my energy is low and my decision-making capabilities are next to nil.
Mid-Year Planning Retreat: Inside My Q3 Strategy Session
This was my first dedicated Planning retreat, and I think it went super well.
I set strict boundaries…
FRI: Brain Dump Only. No work. Nice dinner out and early bedtime.
SAT: Deep Focus x 2 (at least). Break (at least 2) outside with movement. Early bedtime.
SUN: Early rise. Deep focus x 1 (at least). Wrap and Reflect. Prep to leave.
…and accomplished a lot:
FRI: Brain Dump and Organized for Saturday. Set myself up for success.
SAT: Deep focus x 4 (at least, maybe 5) with long breaks in between, outside time, and a stroll around the block.
SUN: Deep focus x 2 and Next Week’s prep.
Something I’m trying this year: Using the time I feel good to set intentions for the times I feel bad. Now I have a plan and some strategies for making that plan happen, even when I don’t feel like doing anything. I know this roadmap will help. I’ve made it as easy as possible for myself. All I have to do is show up.
The blueprint is set. The mind is rested. Q3, we are ready for you.
