Fall hits and suddenly your calendar is overflowing: school forms, practices, tournaments, deadlines, holidays. It’s predictable—and yet it feels impossible every year. That’s calendar chaos.
In this episode of Ditch the Chaos, we’re breaking down why your weekly planning system collapses in seasons like this—and how to design routines that actually flex with real life. This isn’t about working harder or squeezing more in. It’s about learning to simplify your week and set up rhythms that support you instead of drain you.
You’ll learn:
- Why mental load, overcommitment, and rigid planning create overwhelm
- How to run a seasonal reset to protect your priorities
- Why building white space into your week is non-negotiable
- How a weekly reset system helps you organize your week without daily scrambling
- The mindset shift that makes planning a supportive ritual instead of another chore
These lessons come straight from what I teach inside Chaos Detox—because sustainable time management without burnout starts with systems that flex with your life.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
