(PS didn’t mean to disappear after BLP Live 4.0!! It was truly awesome, and I had a blast, AND I came home entirely spent. More details to come later in the week!)
SHOW NOTES
In today’s episode, I share what worked — and didn’t work — in my planning life this year.
I begin with the areas that didn’t pan out, and then end on a high note with rituals I plan on continuing for the foreseeable future (onward into 2027).
Topics discussed:
Time tracking (with Apple Notes, Toggl, analog)
Making a goal of 2 Date nights/month without actually scheduling them
Screen time tracking & blocker app
Decluttering as as one and done goal
Analog tracking for strength work
Technoselectivism and selective use of AI/LLM-based tools (credit this Deep Life episode from Cal Newport: note, he actually called it technoselectionism and I accidentally called it technical selectionism, but I meant the same thing!)
Morning Pages (credit Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way)
Seasonal family meetings
Media tracking
Please share your own “what worked / what didn’t” with me – just email sarah hart unger at gmail or text (305) 697-7189 (Google voice).
Course news:
Planning By Season is full, but annual 2027 planning courses are still open — you can find more details here.

I hear you on the going on dates thing. There are so many reasons it often doesn’t work out. Not sure how to overcome that.
