Planning Anxiety: 3 Ways to Calm the Overwhelm Before School Starts Script

Feeling overwhelmed by all those perfect back-to-school planning spreads you see everywhere? You're not alone! Planning anxiety is real, and it gets worse this time of year when we're bombarded with aspirational organizational systems that promise to solve all our problems.
In this video, I'm sharing 3 specific ways to calm that planning overwhelm so you can actually get ready for back-to-school season without losing your mind:
✨ Start Stupidly Small - Instead of trying to plan everything at once, pick ONE tiny thing to focus on
✨ Embrace "Good Enough" - A messy system you actually use beats a perfect system that sits untouched
✨ Plan for Imperfection - Build flexibility into your systems because real life isn't ideal conditions
If you've ever bought planning supplies and been too intimidated to use them, or felt guilty about not being organized enough, this video is for you. You're not broken - you just need to start at the right size for where you are right now.
What's your smallest possible first step for back-to-school planning? Drop it in the comments below - make it embarrassingly small!
