·30 min·2 clips

Dr. TK reveals her first rule for 2026 planning: if it's not on your calendar, it doesn't exist.

The episode opens with Dr. TK introducing the topic of planning for 2026, emphasizing the need to block time for personal life before business. She frames the discussion as a chit-chat, inviting listeners to grab pen and paper. Step one involves identifying non-negotiable personal commitments like children's schedules, doctor appointments, and family vacations. Dr. TK shares her personal rule: if something isn't on her calendar, it doesn't exist. Step two focuses on scheduling self-care as appointments, with Dr. TK detailing her own gym routine and hard stop times for work. She explains that unscheduled self-care becomes optional and gets canceled first. Step three introduces pen-to-paper planning using journals from Walmart and a two-year planner to combat digital overstimulation. Dr. TK discusses adapting schedules to life seasons, using her own shift from Wednesday to Friday workshops as an example. Step four covers choosing digital tools, with a screen share of her Google Calendar setup showing separate calendars for family, coaching, content, and personal activities. She explains how she manages her blended family's schedules and business programs. Step five emphasizes organizing time before delegation, stating that calendars serve as training manuals for assistants. Dr. TK concludes by teasing a part two on working in one's genius zone and promotes her In Her Collective membership community. The episode ends with a call for comments on time management obstacles.
