Episode Summary
What if I told you that planning isn’t about perfect calendars and to-do lists, but about making space for what truly matters? In this episode, I’m joined by fellow sellers, Bethany, Jennifer, and Ashley for a deep dive into The Plan by Kendra Adachi. This book challenged us to rethink how we approach productivity, rest, and the ever-elusive work-life balance. Spoiler alert: It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what actually counts.
We unpack Kendra’s refreshing take on planning, including why flexibility is key, how to stop treating rest as a reward, and what it really means to embrace the seasons of life. Plus, we share what our biggest a-ha moments from the book are. But of course, we don’t just gush about the book. We also share where we felt The Plan fell short, especially when it comes to applying these ideas to business.
Whether you’re a teacherpreneur, small business owner, or just someone who feels like planning is never quite working for you, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective, and maybe even permission to let go of a few things. Tune in to hear our biggest takeaways, a few personal stories, and whether The Plan earned a permanent spot on our bookshelves!
Topics Discussed:
- Why we chose The Plan and our overall impressions of it
- The importance of realistic decision-making rather than aiming for perfection
- How we’ve applied the book’s concepts to our own lives

- Aligning your schedule with personal ebbs and flows, including your cycle
