    Ep. 23 - How to Plan Your Week Like a CEO (Even When You’re a Mom With Zero Free Time)

    If you’ve been Googling “how to plan my week as a mom entrepreneur” or asking yourself “why can’t I ever seem to stick to my schedule?” — this episode is for you. Most moms don’t need more time — they need a better way to use the time they already have. In this episode, Danielle breaks down how to plan your week like a CEO — even when you have zero free time, unpredictable days, and a mental load the size of an Amazon warehouse. You’ll learn: ✨ Why traditional time blocking doesn’t work for moms (and what to do instead) ✨ How to plan your week around your energy, not just your hours ✨ The #1 mindset shift that makes your schedule finally stick ✨ How to finally feel in control of your week — not behind it By the end, you’ll have a simple structure that bends when life does — so you can finally stop reacting to your week and start directing it. 🧭 KEY TAKEAWAYS: 1️⃣ Time-blocking systems weren’t built for the mental load of motherhood — flexible focus zones work better. 2️⃣ When you plan your week around your energy patterns, productivity feels easier and more sustainable. 3️⃣ You don’t need more hours — you need a better strategy for using the ones you already have. 4️⃣ Clarity creates calm. Structure creates freedom. 🪄 MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: 🎥 Free Training: Stop Running Out of Time & Start Directing Your Week  — a 30-minute workshop to reclaim your time and create calm, consistent structure that actually fits your life. 📘 Want to go deeper? ✨ If you need clarity — watch the How to Set Better Goals Workshop  💡 If you need structure — get the 20-Hour Workweek Blueprint + 5-Day Challenge  👑 If you need hands-on help — book your CEO Mom Strategy Session 👂 IF YOU’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR: “How to plan my week as a mom entrepreneur” “How to make a realistic schedule as a working mom” “Why time blocking doesn’t work for moms” “How to plan your week around your energy” “How to stop feeling behind all the time” “Time management for moms running businesses” “How to get more done during school hours” This episode answers all of those — and gives you a simple, realistic framework you can start using this week. “You don’t need to find more time — you just need to learn how to direct it.” 🔗 CONNECT WITH DANIELLE: Instagram → @schoolhoursceo  Podcast → School Hours CEO Podcast  Free Training → www.daniellegraycoaching.ca/stop-running-out-of-time
