In today’s episode, I share an update on how recovery is going in addition to some great wisdom on the idea of a “recovery routine” sent from a listener. Then, she shares a planner mini-review and new additions to her 2025 Stack:
- Full Focus Spiral-Bound
- Excello Essential Weekly + Monthly (or via Amazon (search for ESSENTIAL 2025 Monthly & Weekly Planner with Tabs, 7″x9″: 14 Months)
Then, I share some wonderful listener-sent solutions for M, the listener stressed out by her many open browser tabs and “to be read later” intentions.

Sarah, You inspire me with your proactive approach to responding to your current situation. I have an injury myself that I’m dealing with and it’s helpful to hear how I can approach this time in a positive and planned way. Thank you!
I do think it can be very helpful to have recovery routines, Dr. Sarah Hart-Unger. In the meantime, though, I also recognize that recovery routines are temporary by nature. I was thinking that the day that the new normal routines replace the recovery routines would be quite a memorable day. Then I realized, “Wait, that couldn’t happen in one single day.” I think that the new normal routines can only gradually replace the recovery routines.
I can see that you use a combo of planners to make plans, whether before or after The Event this March, Dr. Sarah Hart-Unger.
If I open 20 tabs at the same time, my computer’s speed or my phone’s speed will go down to a crawl. So, I have practical incentives not to.
