Some days just don’t go to plan.
An appointment in the middle of the day, low energy, unexpected life admin… And suddenly, that focused workday you imagined feels like it’s slipping through your fingers.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I stay productive when that happens. I talk about how I plan when I’ve only got a few hours to work, the thoughts I used to spiral into and how I shift them now, the question I come back to when I feel behind, and how Power Planning helps me keep moving without needing to overwork or write the day off.
If you’ve been telling yourself you need more time to get things done properly, this episode will help you shift that story, and show you what staying consistent can actually look like in real life.

Sam Laura Brown
Okay. So I am just driving to the hospital for a pregnancy appointment at the time of recording this. I am thirty six weeks and a half pregnant, and this is hopefully one of my final appointments that I have. But I have had a lot of different appointments, particularly for this pregnancy throughout the whole pregnancy. Also, having three little ones already, there’s just been lots of appointments and different things like that.
And what I wanted to do was just talk about how I think about disruption. It’s essentially, like not that it’s, like, a life admin disruption, but I just wanna talk about it not really in a pregnancy specific way. But just if you have appointments, if you have things you need to do, errands, whatever, and that disrupts your ideal work day, what do you do about it? Like, how do you think about it so that it doesn’t actually completely throw you off? So I just wanted to share my experience with that.
When you have, essentially, the situation I have right now, which is when you have an appointment in the middle of your day, and it’s an appointment that you need to go to at that time for whatever reason, and you just don’t wanna have it be when it is. And it’s easy to feel resentful, bitter. It’s easy to feel in, like, that all or nothing kind of way of, like, well, I don’t have the time I normally would. And especially if you’re going into this feeling like I already don’t have enough time as it is, then now you have even less time, which makes you most likely either freeze or overwork. You either freeze because now you’re so overwhelmed that you aren’t able to actually do anything, or you go into like, okay.
Now I need to make up for this when I get back. And so what I have been doing for particularly with this pregnancy, I’ve just had so many different appointments. But with this in general is, first of all, coming from the place, and this is what we help people in in my program, Infectionist Getting Shit Done, because it’s not as simple as just hearing this and then, like, you know, a flip switches does work that needs to be done to have you actually live this. But if you were coming at anything from the perspective of I don’t have enough time, it is much harder to make calm ground decisions that are in alignment with what you actually want to be doing. And, ultimately, as well, it’s just when you are or when let me speak in first person.
I feel like that’s more I don’t know. It just hits better, if that makes sense. Like, I just instead of the use, I’ll just say I. When I’m in the energy of I don’t have enough time, then it makes me feel really scarce around time. It makes it feel like I have to overwork or freeze or just, like, basically, I feel like a victim, and I’m a bit helpless to do anything about it.
So I either have to burn myself out and just work, work, work, work, or I need to then just kinda be like, well, I can’t get anything done today. The whole thing is a write off. And what actually is the I found the best way to approach it is I have more than enough time to get everything essential done. That needs to be the base layer. Having a tool like power planning makes that so much easier as well because you actually have not just a thought, but you have also a plan that aligns with that thought.
So that’s the base, like, context for this as well is being a person who believes that there’s more than enough time to get everything essential done, and that’s even when you’re not working as much as you think you should be. So for example, for myself, I’ve actually just opened up in a sense, like, when I’m gonna work and how often or, like, how little and all those different things. But until, essentially, last week, I’ve been working three days and being very boundaried with that. So I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then I don’t work Friday to Monday with the kids or family time during that time. I don’t listen to business podcasts.
Like, I just switch off completely mentally for the business. And so I’m working three days a week. And then if I had an appointment that came in one of those three days, then I would solve for it rather than adding more time. And this has been a really powerful thing to and this has really helped as well with getting out of the beliefs that I need more time by not allowing myself to have more time and instead solving for, okay. What if I wanna make the same progress in the time I have without burning out?
How would I approach this? How would I think about the business? How would I think about my clients? How would I be thinking about me? What have what can I do to simplify this?
What can I do to essentialize this? Is there anything unnecessary I’m doing? Those questions are, like, having that overall premise of solving for and we do this with Palpenny. Like, solving for the amount of time you have instead of just letting yourself work as long as it takes, which doesn’t actually allow you to develop that belief that you need to have. It doesn’t allow you to actually develop as well, certain skill sets and mindsets around prioritization, identifying business needle movers and bottlenecks and different things like that.
So I have just been in this really heavy season of solving for the time I had and solving for the energy I had instead of just trying to add more time to solve the problem because I knew particularly, like, in that season of doing that, lack of time was not the problem. It was the way that I was thinking, and I needed to actually face that head on and not let time be the solution because that was just further exacerbating the thought that lack of time was the problem. Also, I had tried to solve it with time, particularly in the second half of twenty twenty three. I really had that thought of, like, I just need more time. I added more time.
I saw myself waste that time, which was super frustrating because I was felt like I was working so hard. I was really just working so hard in my brain, just, like, thinking and overthinking and trying to get it right and trying to fix things that weren’t actually broken in hindsight. But trying to fix things, trying to be better, trying to be a good leader. And I just saw how that extra time didn’t translate to extra business results because lack of time wasn’t the bottleneck on the business. It was the way that I was thinking and what I was working on and how I was working on those things and how I was thinking about myself and how I was thinking about the business.
So by not allowing myself to change how much time I had, I then had to solve for the thoughts. And so I’m now in a very different place of just feeling a lot of emotional safety even if the business isn’t exactly where I want it to be, even if I’m not achieving every goal that I set. Like, I don’t feel that my life is at stake if the business isn’t exactly where I want it to be. And it kind of felt like that before. Like, it was very attached to my identity, and I felt very much like if it wasn’t going well, then I was a failure.
And that didn’t help me to succeed more. That did not help me. So with that said, that with the, appointments and I just wanna share, like, specifically a few examples that come to mind. So, for example, with the appointment that I have today, so the appointment is at 01:30, and it’s gonna be, like I don’t know exactly if they’ll be on time. It’s the other thing too.
It’s, like, when you don’t know how long it will be. Tomorrow, I have another appointment at 09:30AM, pregnancy related. They’re usually running about an hour late. Sometimes they will see you right away, and that appointment will probably take about half an hour. It’s about a half an hour drive each way with about fifteen minutes of trying to find a car park.
Not a car. I have a car. Trying to find a car park, getting it to the right place, and all of that kind of thing, checking in, etcetera. So it’s about an hour and a half all up travel related, and then it is the appointment time plus the wait time, which both of those are uncertain, and also just, like, the energy required to go and wait and all of that kind of thing. And potentially as well, so hopefully not in this situation, but I’ve had a lot of pregnancy appointments where there’s also, like, an emotional, emotional energy required to process information, to make decisions, and really important ones at that.
So, when it comes to that, you might have appointments where there is, like, an emotional addition that comes with it. There might be appointments where it’s not like that. Like, for me, if I go to the dentist, it’s not really taking an emotional toll. I’m comfortable with the dentist, and I’m not getting any kind of big news at the dentist or anything like that. And I feel like, for me, it’s, like, just my teeth.
They’re usually pretty good. So you might have appointments like that. You might have ones where it’s, like, actually, this might only be an hour or two appointment or a twenty minute appointment, but there will also be this time needed to either process emotions, or to do research or different things like that. So it might actually have an extra component that’s a little bit invisible that you will also need to take into account. Again, Powerpointing really helps with this.
Being able to have time and space set aside as well for emotional processing, or if you need to do that in the moment, because you might not know it ahead of time, you can just adjust your plans and give yourself that time and space to do that without feeling behind. Like, if you need to cry, if you need to call a friend or one of your parents or someone for support, you can just adjust your plan without feeling like, oh my god. Now I’m even more behind. So disappointment, one thirty. So my plan, which I followed, was to leave home at 12:45 for the appointment, and I’m planning we actually have a haircut for the twins booked this afternoon because we have quite a few different appointments we’re just trying to get done before baby comes.
So we have more appointments than usual as well just for the kids and, like, car servicing and all of that kind of thing in the next couple of weeks. So plan is to and, actually, Steve was gonna come to this appointment, but James needs to be picked up from day care as he has a fever. Sorry. Quarantine. Sorry.
I’m by myself at this appointment. And then, also, after I get back, I’m not planning to work again today. I am going to pick up everyone else for day care, and then we’re gonna go to the haircut, assuming James is well enough. Not sure yet if that will be happening or if we’ll need to adjust the plan. Obviously, if he’s unwell, we won’t be going to get his haircut.
So, anyway, adjustments, adjustments, adjustments. But with this appointment, my main thought about it and this is, like, contrasting how I used to think. I used to think, like, that’s so annoying. That’s right in the middle of the day. I’m gonna have, like, half a workday.
I already feel like I have limited time because I’m about to be having a baby and blah blah blah. And just really, like, in this thought pattern of, oh my god. I already don’t have enough time as it is, and now I have even less. And that would make me not use the money well because I wouldn’t allow myself to actually do anything really meaningful because of this very common perfectionist sort of like, unless I have a full big chunk of time to do exactly what I wanna do, then I can’t even start it at all. Or just, like, having that thought pattern then can make you just jump around from task to task to task.
So you’re still working, but you’re not actually progressing things. You’re just being busy. Like, I’ll check email, and then I’ll check my DMs, and then maybe I’ll start creating this post. But, actually, something else came up, so I won’t finish that and post it. I’m gonna do this other thing and write the email newsletter.
Oh, but, actually, that gave me this idea for this other thing I could do, like, for an email list freebie, and I’m gonna create that. And, like, you can just end up being so busy but not progressing. And so how I actually think about it, and I’ve been doing intentional work on it during this pregnancy just because I’ve had a lot more appointments than normal, but also because I noticed going into the pregnancy, my story about just to myself about, like, it’s so annoying having appointments in the middle of the day, and I can’t I don’t really have much ability to schedule them at a time that works for me. It’s kind of more just like, this is the time you’re given. I have adjusted, like, every appointment that’s not worked for me time wise.
I have requested multiple times to adjust, and quite a few times, that adjustment has been granted, which has been amazing. So I love that I’m not just as I used to be in just like a well, whatever you get, like, you have to make it work for you. Like, actually, I can also ask, hey. Is this an option? Could we actually do this appointment a week later so it’s right after this other one?
And they’re like, yep. We could do that. So that’s been great. Ask not, get not is important to remember. But, also, sometimes you ask and you don’t get, and you just have to go with it.
So in those situations like today, where not ideal timing, and that’s okay, but my thought has mostly been, okay. This is gonna help me actually prioritize my time better. I’m not in this pressure. I need to find the perfect thing, but it’s okay to have less time because I know how to work with that and still have it be really impactful. And once you get into that place, you can then be like, this is kind of where I am.
I just say there’s a bridge to get there. If you’re believing right now you don’t have enough time, you’re not gonna be able to go, like, fully into this thought in an instant. But believing, like, actually, my day is gonna be better because I have this appointment at this time, And what could I do to really make this work for me? And so even just from having that thought pattern this morning, then I was like I did my power planning. I was like, okay.
I have three hours of a workday today, essentially. And, also, because James was, like, not feeling a % last night, that I was up last night, up early this morning because of pregnancy. My sleep, I just would rather be awake than asleep currently even though I’m tired. So all of that to say, I, like, went into it being like, I’m not feeling the most energetic I’ve ever felt. And, also, this three hours is still enough to move the needle and to have me make real progress, and it’s actually gonna work out perfectly.
And especially when I zoom out, I’m gonna be so glad that that’s the exact amount of time that I had that day to work on my business. So from that perspective, I could do my power planning. And then having those thoughts that I mentioned meant that on the drive to the hospital, I had the idea of I could just record a podcast episode while I’m driving. Whereas when I had the thoughts of I don’t have enough time, which would make me feel helpless, which would make me feel unresourceful, which would make me feel, like, out of control, then I wouldn’t actually have ideas about or, like, any insight into how I actually have the perfect amount of time or the perfect circumstance to actually be able to move the business forward in the way that I want to. So for me, especially, like, recording podcast episodes while driving is something that I love doing, and I just give myself permission to record.
It doesn’t have to get posted if I think it’s shit. I’ve learned at this point my brain will probably think it’s shit and just post it, but I have that backdoor with myself. If I really don’t wanna post it and it feels like a big jumbly mess, that’s okay, but I’m just gonna let myself record something and just, like, be in that creative flow. So my brain the more I’m in this thought pattern, the more my brain offers up ideas for how it is true that I have the perfect amount of time and allows me to see time differently and actually make so much more of it even though I have less of it, so to speak. So another time in this pregnancy I wanna say this was, like, the big breakthrough I had around it was maybe a couple of months ago now.
And I had an appointment that was, like, 11AM, really annoying time. That’s my thought. That’s my story. Really annoying time because I feel like my thought typically around that is I can’t by the time I get into something, I need to go. And then by the time I get back home, it’s already, like, midafternoon.
And so instead of that, I really went to work with my self coaching of, like, how is this actually perfect that I have this set up the way that I have it, and how is this actually going to really help me have the most productive day? Like, this interruption in my day is there for my benefit rather than as a disturbance or as something unwanted. And, also, it’s really important to reconnect with, like for example, I have lots of pregnancy appointments. I want to take care of my pregnancy. I want to take care of myself.
Like, fundamentally, it can be easy to forget that something is something that we desire or related to it, so that can be helpful as well. But I was just like, hey. What if this is actually the best thing ever? And at that time, we were doing a launch. It must have been the January launch for PGSD, and I was writing emails.
And I had power planned out what my plan was. I’m pretty sure it was an unexpected appointment. I can’t remember. But I had planned out what I wanted to do, and there just wasn’t the time within my work time that I had. Like, it actually because I know how long it takes me to typically write an email, to go out about a launch, and things like that.
That was like, they’re just actually like, it’s over scheduling myself to pretend that I could get that done in that amount of time. But I still wanted to have the same amount of progress in the work time that I had the work week even though it was less hours. And so what I did was in just, like, ten minutes, I asked myself, how could I still accomplish the same result at the same or highest standard in less time? And if you’ve never asked yourself that kind of question, especially if you’re a perfectionist, which I’m assuming you are listening to this podcast, that that might freak your brain out a little bit and instantly have you try and come up with some, like, answer to be better or to be perfect or, like, to be someone you’re not. But as you ask yourself that kind of question more and more and more, and we do this a lot on PGSD coaching calls.
And so even if you’re not coached personally, you can hear people getting coached with this kind of coaching and, like, the outcomes it produces, and you will start just naturally thinking in a more helpful way just from listening to the PGSD private podcast and hearing that. But when you start to ask yourself much higher quality questions like that and to do it without burning out, all of that kind of thing, that then your brain can just unlock ideas that were already right under your nose, but you had a thought that stopped you from seeing that or trusting that or implementing that. And so for me, that was really with these emails. Instead of my initial plan had been to write them from scratch and just, like, I was in this perfectionist sort of, like, I need to have new emails even though I’m actually gonna be saying very similar things. So what I then was able to do was look at okay.
If I really trusted myself at the deepest level, what would I do if this was the only time I had to get that task complete, but I still wanted the same result or an even better result. How would I need to think? What would I need to do with that time? What would I need to not do? And instead of then just, like, having that full day, like, I’d really wanted to have and just, like, plotting through these emails, essentially, what I was able to do was say, okay.
I wanna write five emails in an hour. To do that, I either need to write it from scratch in a very self trusting way where I’m not over editing. I’m not, like, writing a sentence, and then I reread that. And then I write another sentence, then I reread the first two sentences together. Like, I’m not gonna do that.
I need to just really write from self trust. Or if I’m really trusting myself that I actually have things that I can already use to have those emails, either, like, past emails I’ve written or content for other platforms or, like, if I was really trusting myself, how might I solve for this in the amount of time that I have? And I ended up just, like, blowing my own mind with what I could create in that short amount of time, went to the appointment. And, also, this is the other thing I was looking at, like, okay. Other thoughts that I had about if I’m going to this appointment, I don’t know how long it will take, and then I get back home, and then I’m gonna have lunch and whatever.
I also made a plan with myself. So, okay. This is exactly how I’m gonna transition back into a highly productive work day even though my brain wants to be like, oh, it’s midafternoon. I’m so sluggish, and I’ll need to come home and then have lunch and then, like, figure out what the plan is. Like, just my brain, like most brains, being like, too hard.
Too hard. And actually then being like, no. I am capable of solving for this. And what I’m going to do is ask my brain instead, what would it look like? What would need to happen?
What would I need to be thinking and feeling to be able to have a highly productive afternoon after getting home from this appointment? And I can’t even remember the exact solution that I came up with, so sorry for not fluffing those details because it would probably be helpful to hear. But what I did do that is that I had a plan for, okay, when I get home. And I gave myself lots of buffer time so that it wasn’t, like, rushing home. I could just mosey home as I wanted to.
Like, I had, I think, about an extra hour of buffer time in my calendar so that and that was already a generous amount of time I set aside for the appointment plus an hour of buffer time. So I knew I it wouldn’t be helpful for me to be, like, rushing to get home or, like, in that state of mind. So So I had lots of time so that I knew that by the time I get home, I would be able to start working when I had planned. And if I you don’t have to do it that way. You can also just make your little tweaks, but I really wanted to do it that way in this case and just have that, like, here’s exactly when I’m going back to work and exactly what that’s gonna look like.
So I did that and had my plan for here based on past experience and thoughts that I’ve had, common thought patterns from my brain, here’s what my brain is gonna want to tell me about getting back to work, and here ahead of time is my solution to that rather than believing everything that I think. Here is my actual plan to overcome that, to take that into account, to support myself with that so that I can actually have the afternoon that I want. And what I was able to do was just come back home after the appointment and going to that appointment feeling so energized because of how intentionally I use that time before it and without pressure, without this, like, I need to use it perfectly. And, like, I know how that feels in my body when I’m in that thought pattern. I just, like, tense up.
It becomes really hard to think and make decisions and use time well. So I felt very powerful as I went to that appointment. Had my appointment. I think I read a book or whatever when I was waiting for it. Got got home and then just went right back into having a highly productive day because I had told myself that was possible because I thought ahead of time about what might stand in the way of that, my thoughts, my feeling, different habitual approaches I might take, which would be like getting home, and then, like, I’ll slowly make some lunch.
And then, like, all from the thought of, like, this afternoon isn’t gonna be productive. Like, how can I actually support myself to do that? So that has been huge. Just like that day, I was like, oh, actually, it doesn’t have to be a disruption. It could actually make my day even better and have me thinking at a higher level and feeling even more powerful.
When it has come to the appointments and things like that or, like, times of getting information or whatever, where there has been emotional processing required, So either, like, learning new things and, like, making decisions, crying, like, physically, like, processing an emotion, that just allowing myself actual time for that has been really important instead of just, like, either trying to not feel those things and, like, be busy with work and, like, keep myself busy. And this is a common thing that I feel like people are sharing less and less. But, like, you know, if you’re going through a hard time, it’s really helpful to keep yourself busy, and I think there is truth to that in certain circumstances. But, also, in certain circumstances, the best way to proceed is to allow yourself to feel whatever feelings you’re trying to do like, to be busy and not feel, to let yourself actually feel that and process that and move forward. So I had a lot of time as well during this pregnancy, like, a lot of, time and space for myself.
And, typically, I would do this when Steve, was on a late shift and the kids had gone to bed, and I was like, I just need, like, just by myself to just, like, journal out essentially whatever I’m thinking and not have to, like, coach myself or be enlightened about it or whatever, but to just actually, like, have a moment with myself to just feel what I’m feeling. And then sometimes it was with Steve or with a friend or loved one or things like that. But just having that time of, like, I actually need to pause for a minute and let myself be with this feeling, and there was so much of that during this pregnancy, that it just really helped me as well to be able to remain productive throughout the pregnancy while still having lots of appointments, lots of uncertainty that hadn’t been in other pregnancies, and just, like, essentially navigating uncertainty in life, which we’re all gonna have in some way, shape, or form, and also uncertainty in business, which is just inherent in business. Part of the reason there’s so much possibility in business is because there’s so much uncertainty, that that uncertainty breeds possibility.
Whereas when you’re in a very certain situation, like, for example, when I was working in my accounting job, that there wasn’t a whole lot of uncertainty. It was very clear what success looks like, how to be successful, what to focus on, etcetera. But, also, there wasn’t nearly as much possibility. It was kind of just like, well, here’s what’s possible in this role. You kind of know what you’re getting.
Like, that was one of the things that made me leave the corporate world. And even though I feel like I am the kind of person that I could have been very happy in the corporate world, but, also, I just felt like I can look at the people who are twenty years ahead of me and see my exact future, and that just isn’t appealing. And I also didn’t care about accounting and things like that. But and he’s like, I don’t actually want that, so why would I try to be that? So, anyway, it’s normal to have lots of uncertainty in business and in life simultaneously.
And so these things as well that I’ve talked about have helped me increase my capacity for uncertainty and for having disruptions for getting, news and information that requires emotional processing. I think for all of us, even if there’s, like, objectively things that, require processing or not, that sometimes it’s just like it can just be like someone makes a small comment and you’re like, that is like, I just keep repeating that in my head again and again. Like, that, like, you need to actually address that. And not by having a conversation with them or anything like that necessarily, but just actually being like, what is it about that my brain is just, like, latched to this? Is there, like, something I need to feel?
Like, what what is that about? So, anyway, those are some of the things that have really helped me navigate lots of disruptions or, like, unplanned things also, with pregnancy as well, just specifically being nauseous, being really physically tired at certain periods of the pregnancy as well, just those things. And, again, it’s it’s like you could have a health condition that’s not anything to do with having babies or whatever and have a lot of, like, disruptions come up or appointments or things like that. You could have a loved one with those things going on. You could have it not be that exactly, but maybe you have so many different, like, client calls or, like, calls from your team or different things.
And a really important part of supporting yourself to build your business in a way that’s aligned for you that you actually like. Like, what’s the point in building a business if it’s worse than having a job? You really wanna be able to have freedom, to have your own back, to have self support, to be able like, it is a gift that I can just go to an appointment in the middle of a work day. I don’t have to request time off or leave or anything like that. That’s such a gift to be able to just take care of myself in that way and have the freedom to do that.
And we wanna make sure that you are actually able to use those benefits of business to your advantage rather than resenting the appointments or resenting yourself or resenting the business or the clients or all these different things of, like, how is this actually helping me become the best entrepreneur I can be, the best parent that I can be if you’re a parent, the best, like, self carer that I can be and solving for it. Like, just solving for, okay. This is what I’ve got, and so how do I make that work for me instead of against me? And how do I think about that in a way that really supports me to navigate this in a powerful way rather than feel like I’m a victim to it, rather than feeling like I’m helpless to change, you know, rather than feeling like, okay. Well, this is how it is, so now I have to then, like, operate in this default way, if that makes sense.
Like, okay. Now I have an appointment in the middle of the day. Well, now I have to have an unproductive date. Like, you can choose, and it takes some self awareness, some getting coached, typically, self coaching too. The more that you get coached, the easier it becomes to self coach.
This is why inside Perfectionists Getting Shit Done, we really support you to learn self coaching through watching coaching. We have the PGSD private podcast, weekly live calls where you can get coached yourself, but most PGSDers say, like, their favorite thing is watching others getting coached because you get to really benefit from hearing others open up and share struggles you relate to without having to be the one getting coached or, like, being in front of everyone. And there are PGSDers who are happy or brave to get coached in front of everyone and those who are just like, I just get everything that I came for from listening to the replays on the private podcast. So you will probably need to not just, like, hear me talk about this, but get coached, coach your own brain, shift those perspectives, be able to process feelings, all those things that we teach in PGSD to support you, but I just wanted to lay out a few key ways of how I’ve been thinking about it in case that helps.
So I hope you’re having a beautiful day, and I will talk to you in the next episode.
