Your Daily Card should be the simplest, most powerful tool in your planner — but most moms get it wrong.In this episode, Mystie Winckler walks through the three most common Daily Card mistakes that keep homemakers from feeling productive and peaceful:1️⃣ Writing down wishful thinking instead of real priorities.2️⃣ Listing projects instead of doable tasks.3️⃣ Avoiding the practice until it feels “perfect.”Learn how to make a daily card that focuses on the meat of your day — the essential work that matters most — so you can stop spinning your wheels and start walking faithfully through your responsibilities.Making daily cards consistently helps you learn about yourself, your thinking patterns, and your real priorities.2. Mistake #1 – Wishful ThinkingMany moms fill their daily card with things they wish they could do instead of their true priorities.The daily card should not list extras or gravy tasks—it's for the meat of the day.“The meat” means the core work and responsibilities that genuinely require your time and attention today.Instead of writing down what you'd like to do, ask:“Where should my time and attention go today?”Examples:Nursing the baby, homeschooling, or preparing meals may take significant time and deserve a spot on the card.These tasks are not distractions from productivity—they are the essential work of the day.The daily card helps you stop criticizing yourself for not doing “more” and instead recognize that you spent your time where it mattered.3. Mistake #2 – Putting Projects Instead of TasksA project is many tasks disguised as one item; putting it on your daily card sets you up for failure.The daily card should only include things that can actually be done today with the time and energy you have.Big projects should be broken into smaller, specific, actionable steps.A helpful rule:If it takes too much time, too much energy, or too much thinking power, it's too big for your daily card.Examples of proper daily card items:“Make two phone calls” (instead of “handle appointments”)“Take meal to family” (acknowledging it affects timing and priorities)The goal is to prioritize what truly counts, not to cram ambitious goals into an already full day.4. Mistake #3 – Procrastinating the PracticeSome moms avoid making a daily card because they think they must have perfect priorities figured out first.You learn what matters by doing daily cards, even imperfectly.It's better to make a bad daily card today than to make none at all.Each attempt gives insight into your expectations, habits, and priorities.Over time, repeated practice builds awareness and discernment.

Tenderoni Hotline #3: Hello my love! Welcome back to the Tenderoni Hotline, our cozy corner of the Feminist Wellness podcast where I answer your most tender, honest, and heartfelt questions about healing, self-trust, and nervous system care. In today's episode, we're exploring why setting boundaries can feel so hard, and why guilt often floods in after you finally speak your truth. We'll talk about the deep nervous system wiring that makes boundaries feel threatening, especially if you were raised to believe that love means self-sacrifice. You'll learn how your biology, past experiences, and systemic conditioning all collide to make boundary-setting feel unsafe, even when you know it's the right thing. We're also unpacking why you procrastinate, even on things that matter deeply to you. Spoiler alert: it's not about laziness. It's your nervous system trying to protect you from real or perceived danger. You'll learn how freeze shows up, how perfectionism fuels it, and what gentle, practical tools can help you shift from stuck to self-led. This work is compassionate, science-backed, and deeply honoring of your lived experience. Because you deserve to set boundaries without betrayal, take action without fear, and build a life rooted in your own nervous system safety and self-trust. Got a question for the Tenderoni Hotline?

Are you delaying tasks because they truly aren't a priority or because you are avoiding them? It can be hard to distinguish between conscious prioritization and procrastination, yet knowing the difference changes how you approach your work and your life. This episode helps you recognize which tasks deserve your focus and which may be holding you back.   I walk you through five key questions that help clarify whether you're consciously choosing what matters most or unconsciously avoiding tasks out of fear, discomfort, or overwhelm. You'll gain practical strategies for moving forward, whether that means delegating, breaking down daunting projects, or tackling the items you've been putting off for months.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/229

Episode 3534: Homo sapiens outlasted other human species not just because of bigger brains, but due to our unique ability for complex planning, a skill that also explains why we procrastinate. Cal Newport argues that procrastination isn't a character flaw but an evolutionary response to weak or vague plans. Instead of forcing ourselves to push through, we should see procrastination as a cue to refine our approach, ensuring our strategies, whether for studying, work, or personal goals, are truly effective. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://calnewport.com/the-procrastinating-caveman-what-human-evolution-teaches-us-about-why-we-put-off-work-and-how-to-stop/ Quotes to ponder: “The most obvious answer [to the question of Homo sapiens' survival] is that we had bigger brains. But it turns out that what matters is not overall brain size but the areas where the brain is larger - one of the crucial elements of Homo sapiens' adaptations is - complex planning.” “What I'm arguing is that the complex planning component of your brain evaluates this plan as it has evolved to do and then rejects it as not sound.” “Procrastination is not your enemy. It is instead a constructive source of criticism, a voice from our paleolithic past telling us that although it likes our goals, we need to put a little bit more thought into how we're going to get there.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey Friend, Thank you for downloading this episode! Its going to be a little bit different that what I normally do, but I think youll get a lot out of it. Like so many of us in recovery, I have felt really frustrated at times with my own negative repeating patterns. Procrastinating on self-care, spending too much time consuming information instead of acting on it, and at times, feeling really disappointed in myself. Its a really frustrating experience to recognize when Im feeling stuck and powerless to change, especially when I have tried just about every form of therapy, and read hundreds of books over the last 3 decades. But over the last couple of years, I have been practicing parts work, specifically polarized parts. An example of this is where I have an ambitious part of me that wants to get stuff done, but also a distractor part that causes me to get overwhelmed and feel paralyzed. It has been through this parts work that I have been able to resolve this polarization and resistance, to be more productive in the last 12 months than I have in YEARS. I have written a book, been consistent in the gym, my self-care practices, and created a new program that Ill share with you in a moment. In todays episode, I invited Cece Sykes to join me on the podcast to do a demonstration of this parts work. Cece has been working with the founder of IFS for the last 20 years and I consider her to be the leading expert on polarization. I believe in this work so much, that its the foundation of The Inner Compass Program, which opens for enrollment on 2/16. The focus of the course will be to use parts work to resolve internal resistance so that we can actually take action on the knowledge we have and prioritize our most important goals. If you have been searching for the missing piece, and feeling like you need something more, then Id like to invite you to join me in this new community. Just visit Innercompassprogram.com/waitlist and youll be the first one in line when enrollment opens. So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Cece Sykes. =J

She explored what sobriety might look like: how it would affect her health, relationships and mindset. Now a sobriety coach, Christy joins us to share her journey and suggestions for making an objective assessment of our relationship with alcohol.
