Episode 129: Should you plan when you’re exhausted?

Published on: 17th March, 2026

In this episode, I’m talking about planning when you’re feeling depleted. If life or work has left you exhausted, your instinct might be to step away from planning entirely. I share how to approach planning gently and intentionally, focusing on what not to do, leaving space to recover, and giving yourself permission to let some things go. A thoughtful, low-pressure approach that actually supports your wellbeing.

I’m Louise, and I help people get the important stuff done.

In case we haven’t met, I’m a productivity mentor, the founder of Make It Happen Club and host of the Unfrazzle podcast.

In my world productivity is not about cramming more ‘doing’ into less time. It’s about doing what’s important as efficiently as you can, to create space for what you love.

True, sustainable productivity does not begin with tools, apps, planners and spreadsheets. It starts with thoughtful decision-making and taking time in the treehouse so you can remember where you’re headed and create a plan to get there.

Whether they’re working with me 1:1 or coming along to planning sessions inside Make It Happen Club, I provide my clients with time and space away from all the noise, where they can think, breathe and make intentional decisions about where to focus their precious time, energy and attention.
