If your weekly plan always falls apart by Monday, you’re not failing—the system is. Most “perfect planner” methods collapse under real life, leaving you frustrated and burned out. A true weekly planning system isn’t about discipline or rigid schedules—it’s about flexibility, simplicity, and making it stick.
In this episode of Ditch the Chaos, I’m walking you through how to simplify your week with a routine that flexes with curveballs. Whether your calendar explodes by midweek or you just can’t keep up with complicated systems, this episode shows you how to build a flexible routine that works in real life.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most weekly planning systems fail by Monday
- The simple steps that make planning a habit instead of a chore
- How to organize your workday without overcomplicating tools
- Why white space is strategy, not laziness
- The mindset shift that makes weekly planning sustainable
These lessons are part of what I teach inside Chaos Detox—because consistency in planning isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about creating a system that flexes 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.
