Live It Out with Jennifer Booth: Recent Episodes
Jennifer Booth
Live It Out with Jennifer Booth is for Christian women who want to live out their faith with clarity, courage, and consistency. In this podcast, Jennifer will equip you to live out God’s purpose for your life by teaching biblical truths, giving practical tips for living out your faith, and sharing conversations with other women who are living out God’s plan for their lives.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” As we navigate through life, we will naturally stop doing certain things and start doing new things. In my own life, I have moved out of the phase of being highly involved in my kids’ lives. They are adults now and are learning to manage life on their own.
There are times when God tells us to stop certain activities so that He can move us in a new direction. There are other situations, though, where God may be calling you to simply pause and stop doing something for a season. After that season is completed, then He may call you back to that thing.
And that’s what I want to talk about in this episode. I’ve felt led over the last couple of weeks to press pause in an area of my life. I’ll share where I’m pressing pause and how I came to the conclusion that this pause is necessary.
So grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we talk about what to do when God tells us to pause.

One of the biggest blessings I get from writing and podcasting comes when God uses something I’ve written or podcasted about to encourage or speak to me months or years later. I have had the privilege of writing monthly devotionals for a denominational magazine several times over the last few years. When I write these devotionals, I have to submit them about six months before they are published. So, when I read them in the month they were written for, I always find that God speaks to me through my own writing.
Just this week, God used one of my past podcast episodes to encourage and speak to me. I knew my time was limited for putting together this episode, so I went back into the archives to find one to re-air that I thought would be encouraging to you this week.
I decided to listen to episode 38, about 5 steps for bearing fruit. The reason I chose this podcast is because I shared in an episode earlier this year that my word of the year is thrive. And I determined that the way we thrive is to bear fruit. So I thought the episode on how to bear fruit would be a good one to share this summer.
When I listened to it, I was surprised to hear myself talking about Psalm 1. This is the Psalm I talked about in the episode about thriving earlier this year. As I listened to what I shared about bearing fruit, God reminded me of things I need to continue to do in my life now to bear fruit. I’m not trying to brag because I feel that it was the Lord who gave me this message, but what I share in this episode is gold. I don’t even remember writing the episode, so I know it was God who wanted me to share this message.
This episode was first published in April 2019, so some things I talk about are no longer applicable to what I am doing now. You will hear a lot about The Planning Woman, my former brand, but there are certain aspects of what God was showing me about The Planning Woman that are still applicable to what I’m doing through Jennifer Booth Ministries.
I also mention offering coaching packages. I am not doing that at this time. So disregard that information. And I talk about a community group I had at the time. That is now the Live It Out Community group which is not on social media. I’ll link it in the show notes so you can check it out.
So grab your favorite beverage and settle in while we learn how to bear fruit.
I hope this episode blesses you!

Hey, friend! One of the goals I have with this podcast is to bring you practical tools for living out your faith. That’s why I’m excited to share a conversation I had with my friend and ministry mentor Katie Orr about how to pray Scripture.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Resources to help you learn how to study the Bible
- How you can study the Bible regardless of skill or time
- How to ditch perfection in prayer
- How praying Scripture is an effective way to pray
You will hear at the end of this episode about another recording Katie and I did that I said would be in a new program I’ve created. I have not yet launched that program and am still assessing what it is going to look like. But rest assured that I will share that video in some way as soon as I can.
You do not want to miss this super practical episode, so grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we learn how to pray Scripture.

Just recently, I’ve had several friends go through difficult times in their lives. Three women I know experienced the death of their mamas this week. Another family has a 20-year-old daughter who just got diagnosed with cancer. A friend of mine has a 35-year-old son who was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago. And then, there are people who are experiencing relationship issues, job loss, or other difficulties.
Sometimes I wonder how I can help in these situations. Do I take food? Do I call them? How can I be of help? And because I’m not sure what would be most helpful, I confess I often don’t do anything beyond sharing a message on social media.
I believe God has opened my eyes lately to see the needs of people around me. Specifically, those going through a difficult time. So that’s led me to think through how I could help them and show them the love of Christ through my actions.
In this episode, I will share some things you can do when you see someone going through a difficult time. So, grab your favorite beverage and settle in while we learn how to help others.

Have you ever thought about the legacy you will leave when you die? I'm not trying to be a downer, but we need to think about what people will remember about us when we're gone.
As believers, our hope should be that our lives pointed to Christ.
In an effort to simplify my summer, I'm sharing a couple of past episodes over the next two weeks. Today's episode was initially released as episode 13, where I talked about leaving a godly legacy.
You'll want to listen in and learn about two people in the Bible, one who followed God and one who didn't. Also, I share ways you can become more intimately acquainted with God.

I have a confession to make. I am a recovering perfectionist. Maybe it’s in the way I’m wired to be a rule follower, but I tend to let perfectionism get in the way of how I live out my faith. And, just being honest here, perfectionism has hindered progress in most areas of my life.
Doing things with excellence is great. But if we allow perfectionism to take over, we can become paralyzed and not do even the smallest tasks we need to do.
At various times in my life, perfectionism has kept me from having a meaningful quiet time with God. And as I’ve talked with other women about their quiet times, they make statements that make me think perfectionism is hindering their efforts to spend time with God.
In this episode, I’m going to share four reasons perfectionism is keeping you from having a meaningful quiet time with God. These reasons are ones I’ve noticed in the lives of other women who say they don’t have time to go deep with God.
So grab your favorite beverage and settle in while I share these four reasons and give you some tips for overcoming procrastination when it comes to spending time with God.

I’ve talked a lot about reading the Bible lately. And I have sensed that God is moving me in the direction of encouraging women to read the Bible consistently. I’ve learned that when I read the Bible consistently, I’m better able to live out my faith in a way that honors and glorifies God.
Maybe you want to read the Bible consistently but just can’t get motivated to start. It could be that you find the Bible hard to understand. Or you don’t know how the Old and New Testaments relate to each other. It’s possible you think you don’t have enough time to read the Bible where you’ll understand it or get something out of it. Any one of these reasons could make prioritizing reading the Bible a challenge.
I want so badly for you to experience the fullness of what God has done for you through His Son Jesus. And I want you to fall in love with the Bible just as much as I have. Now this is not to say we are idolizing the Bible itself. I’m talking about loving it as God’s Word and desiring to read it so we can know what God has to say to us.
In this episode, I will share three reasons for prioritizing reading the Bible. Hopefully, these will resonate with you and give you some ideas of how you can prioritize your Bible reading.
So, grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we talk about prioritizing Bible reading.

Hey, friend! Last week in episode 188, I talked about why we don’t have to do it all. In that episode, I encouraged you to figure out what tasks or responsibilities you can let go of that are either unnecessary for you to do because someone else can do them or are ones that you are doing to please someone or meet someone else’s expectations. The goal is to quit thinking we have to do it all.
I’m taking my own advice and am going to take a bit of a shortcut with this week’s episode. I’m swamped with finishing up two seminary classes this week as I’m recording this episode. I have two research papers due in a few days, so I need to focus all of my energies on completing those well.
So, I’ve dug back into the archives and found an episode that I thought was relevant to where we are in the month. This episode is going live on May 31, 2023, so that means I’ve released a new Scripture Writing Plan for the month of June. I thought it would be helpful as we’re moving into the second half of the year to talk about Scripture Writing. Maybe you’ve been using my Scripture Writing Plans for a while, and you want to uplevel how you are utilizing the plans. Or maybe you don’t use the plans, but you are looking for a way to go deeper in your personal Bible study.
I’m repeating episode 122, which originally aired in February of 2022. I talked about what Scripture Writing is and six different ways you can enhance your Scripture writing practice.
I’ll be back next week with a fresh episode. I hope you enjoy this refresher on the Scripture writing plans.

There is a lie that has been going around for decades now that says women can and should do it all. What I mean by doing it all is having a career, raising a family, being a good wife, and taking care of your home. And as Christians, we’ve added being a good Christian to this list. You know, having the perfect quiet time with a cup of coffee and a lit candle with the perfect journal and highlighters.
While all of these things are good in and of themselves, when they become our main focus instead of God, they can become idols. And this lie that women can and should do it all is just that, a lie.
As believers, our main purpose in life is to honor and glorify God in all we do. From there, our lives can look drastically different from one woman to another and one season to the next.
In this episode, I want to share with you how we can stop believing this lie and learn to focus on what God has called us to do in our current season of life.

Hey, friend! Even with all the commands found in the Bible that show us how we are to obey God and live out our faith, sometimes it’s hard to wrap our minds around all of those commands and put them into practice. And there are times when we wonder if we’re even on the right path with God.
I want to walk through Psalm 1 in this episode and present to you some ways you can know if you are on the right path. We’ll see in this Psalm a vivid contrast between those who are following God and those who aren’t.
So grab your favorite beverage, your Bible, and a notebook and settle in as we dive into Psalm 1.

Do you struggle with understanding the Bible? When you read it, does the Bible seem like a collection of books that may be somewhat related, yet you don’t understand how they connect?
If that’s you, know that you are not alone. The Bible is a complex book that can be difficult to understand at first reading. Even if you’ve grown up going to church and learning stories from the Bible, you may not understand how they all connect.
The Bible is really just one book that tells one story. It is the story of God’s redemption of His people. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible speaks of God’s intended design for creation, how humanity has failed to live up to that design, and God’s plan to restore His people to Himself.
In this episode, I will share one thing you can do that will make reading and understanding the Bible more meaningful and accessible.
Are you in a season where it feels difficult to live out your faith? Do you struggle with reading the Bible consistently or communicating with God in prayer? Maybe you feel like your prayers are hitting the ceiling, and God does not know what you need. Or, worse, you wonder if He even cares.
Friend, let me reassure you we all go through seasons like this where we find it hard to live out our faith. However, there is good news. We can navigate through this season and come out on the other side with renewed, fresh faith.
Grab your favorite beverage and settle in while we talk about how to live out our faith, even when it’s difficult.

Hey, friend! This month on Live It Out with Jennifer Booth, we are talking about how to develop the discipline of prayer. In last week’s episode, we discussed four verses that helped us see what is required for prayer. I’ll link that episode in the show notes so you can check it out if you haven’t had a chance to listen yet.
Today, I want to bust some myths about prayers. If you’re like me, you probably hold certain beliefs regarding prayer. Those beliefs are often shaped by what we’ve been taught in church, by our parents, or by other believers. Sometimes, though, our beliefs are shaped by our assumptions of how things should be.

Hey, friend! If I asked you to describe your prayer life, what would you say? Would you say it’s rich, deep, and something you miss if you don’t do it? Or would you say it’s lacking, stale, and inconsistent?
I get it. Prayer is an amazing aspect of the Christian life. But it is also one of the things people struggle with the most. Sometimes there is confusion about what you should pray, how you should pray, and how often you should pray. In this episode and in the next two, I’ll share my thoughts about how you can develop the discipline of prayer.
In episode 181 of Live It Out, I will share four requirements of prayer found in the Bible. Understanding these requirements will help you begin to develop the discipline of prayer.

Are you looking for ways to have a more effective quiet time? Do you feel like your time with God is stale or that you can’t discern what He has for you?
While the Bible is in itself sufficient to help us live out our faith, we sometimes need a tool or two to help make the time we spend in God’s Word more effective where we can learn something that God has for us.
In episode 180, I will share with you my five favorite tools that I have used at one time or another to help me have a more effective quiet time. So grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we learn about these tools.

Hey, friend! I hear from women all the time who say they find it difficult to either have a quiet time with God or time to study the Bible in depth. I totally understand the frustration they feel when they want so badly to be able to spend time with God but can’t figure out how to make that happen consistently.
I have been a big believer in doing a quiet time in the morning before I start my day. I know if I don’t do it in the morning, it most likely will not happen during the day. I’m not legalistic about this, even though the Bible shows Jesus spending time with God in the morning. I’m just more realistic about my schedule.
The way I fit this quiet time into my schedule is by placing it within my morning routine. I find that when I have a morning routine that allows me to flow from one activity or task to the next, I am better able to go about the day with more focus and tend to get more done.
In episode 178, I will share how I’m tweaking my morning routine in light of some new things I’m adding to it. I will show you how quiet time with God fits into this routine. And I’ll give you some tips for developing a routine that helps you to have a consistent quiet time. So, grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we talk about morning routines.

When you sit down to read or study the Bible, do you find yourself distracted? It’s hard to stay focused when studying the Bible because there are distractions all around us, especially if you have kids at home or have to study in a place that may not be quiet or conducive to focusing.
As I’ve talked with women about making time for Bible study, I’ve thought about how I’ve learned to keep my focus. I’ve created a five-step process for getting into the study mindset so that you can stay focused.
There are several Bible study methods that can help you get into God’s Word consistently. They can all be effective if you use them consistently. When choosing a method, it usually depends on your personal preference or learning style. I always say the most effective Bible study method is the one you will use consistently.
In episode 177, I will share what I call the FOCUS Bible study method. I’ll walk you through the five steps and give you my best tips for maximizing each step. So grab your favorite beverage and settle in so we can get started.

Have you ever heard God speak to you? Chances are you haven’t heard him audibly, but you may have sensed his presence and direction in your life. Then again, maybe you feel you’ve never heard from him at all.
As believers, it’s essential to learn to hear God speaking in our lives. Again, I’m not talking about hearing an audible voice, although I firmly believe that he would make a way if he wanted us to hear his voice audibly.
Learning how to hear God speaking to you can be helpful in so many ways. Maybe you are struggling with a decision about something that could be life-changing. Perhaps you just need reassurance that God is there and in control of your life. Whatever the reason you want to hear from God, there are ways we can learn to discern his voice.
In episode 176, I share three ways that you can hear God speaking to you. So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let’s get started!

Do you long to read the Bible and be able to understand it for yourself without the aid of commentaries or other Bible studies? Do you feel that your quiet time with the Lord could be more meaningful?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, I totally understand. I have had the desire to go deeper into Bible study for several years. It’s one of the reasons I chose to start pursuing a seminary degree last fall. I want to know the Bible inside and out as best as I can.
I would guess, though, that you may not know how to study the Bible to get the most out of it. So, in episode 175, I will share with you three things you can do now to begin diving deeper into God’s Word.
Grab your favorite beverage and maybe something to take notes with as we talk about how to study the Bible in a deeper way.

Hey, friend! Do you find it difficult to be patient when you are in a season of waiting? I’ll admit that I struggle with this a lot. I don’t like to wait for anything.
However, I know as a believer that God can use these seasons of waiting to refine my character and shape me to be more like Christ. That doesn’t mean it’s easy or that I like it.
One thing I’ve found that has helped me in seasons of waiting is to pray Scripture back to God. When we pray God’s word back to Him, we know that He hears us. And praying Scripture helps us to pray according to God’s will, not our own. It makes surrendering the outcome to God much easier.
So, grab your favorite beverage and settle in as I share four verses you can pray during a season of waiting.
Maybe you’re not used to praying Scripture. Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered. I’ll share how each of these verses can be made into a prayer.

When I talk to women about living out their faith, they will often tell me that they live busy lives and find it hard to fit in time with God. I get it. Even though I’m an empty nester, I still have a busy life. Once my kids flew the nest, I quickly filled the time I used to spend with them and taking care of their needs.
It doesn’t matter if you are single, have a young family, work outside the home, or are retired. Life today is busy. That means we must be intentional about spending time with God. Our time with God is the foundation we need to be able to live out our faith. If we don’t spend time with him in his word or in prayer, how else will we know what it means to live out our faith?
In episode 173, I will share how one thing most of us have in common can keep us from spending time with God. Yes, this episode comes from my own experience. So if you feel like I’m stepping on your toes, know that this is for me, too.

Hey, friend! Have you ever considered that being an encouragement to someone is a way you can live out your faith?
Back in December, I shared three episodes to help you live out your faith with clarity, courage, and consistency. In those episodes, I gave several ideas for living out your faith. This week as I’m recording this episode, I’ve been reminded that even the small things we do, like saying a word of encouragement to someone, are ways that we live out our faith.
Just yesterday, I saw a quote on my friend Kristin’s Facebook page that said something like ministry doesn’t have to be hard to be holy. I think we sometimes hold the belief that we have to do something big, like serve in a leadership role at church, go on a mission trip, or work in ministry to live out our faith.
But that’s not the case at all. We live out our faith in the day-to-day of life through all of the things we think, say, and do. Today I want to share three examples from my life that may inspire you to live out your faith by encouraging others.
Let’s live it out,
Jennifer

Hey, friend! It’s the third week of the year. How are you? Are you moving forward and doing your best to achieve the goals you set at the beginning of the year? Or are you feeling overwhelmed with life feeling that nothing has changed just because we are in a new year?
I’ll admit that the last few weeks have not been very productive for me. My daughter has been home from college for the last month. And while I love it when she’s home, my schedule has been thrown off a bit. Now I’m staring at what seems to be a never-ending to-do list feeling that I’ll never get it all done. Some days peace is elusive as I continue to think about all I need to do.
So, I’ve taken some time with the Lord and have sought his peace in my life. I’m grateful that he has helped me to reframe some situations that have been causing me stress.
Today I want to share with you in episode 170 of Live It Out With The Planning Woman how you can delight in peace. And not just peace but abundant peace.
Grab your favorite beverage and settle in as we learn how to delight in abundant peace. This is going to be a short yet powerful episode, so let’s go!

In episode 165, I shared how it looks to live out your faith with clarity. If you listened to that episode, you’ll recall that I mentioned a survey I sent out to my newsletter subscribers a few months ago. The responses showed that women struggled to make the time necessary to live out their faith.
After analyzing the survey results, I concluded that women need to know how to live out their faith with clarity, courage, and consistency. In episode 166, I will share what it means to live out your faith with courage.
Hold on, sister, this episode is one that steps on my toes and makes me a little uncomfortable. You may feel the same. So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage and settle in to learn what it looks like to live out your faith with courage.
Do you struggle with knowing how to live out your faith? A few weeks ago, I sent a survey to my newsletter subscribers. I asked them what their biggest struggle was when it came to living out their faith. There were several women who answered with things like not knowing how to pray effectively or how to stand firm in a world that is so opposed to God. But the one thing most women mentioned was time and consistency.
I think some women were coming from the perspective of having a daily quiet time. They confess to not making it a priority. But having a quiet time is just one part of our faith life. If you read the Bible, you’ll read stories about people whose faith encompasses their whole life.
I think we should strive for our faith to be the priority in all we do. But how do we do that?
The episodes of the podcast this month will revolve around one theme: How can we live out our faith with clarity, courage, and consistency? In this episode, episode 165, I will share what it looks like to live out your faith with clarity. So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage and settle in as we dig into God’s Word and see what it says about living out our faith with clarity.

Hey, friend! Have you tried to live out your calling but found yourself tired, unmotivated, or unsure about what you should be doing?
When we try to do life on our own, it’s easy to become discouraged. But when we surround ourselves with godly friends and family, we stand a better chance of living out what God has called us to do.
In episode 164, I will share how being a part of a community can help you live out your calling. So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage and settle in so while we talk about the benefits of a community.

Hey, friend! Welcome to Live It Out With The Planning Woman
I’m so excited to bring you this episode today. I love that I’m able to talk with women about how they are following God’s calling in their lives.
In episode 163, I’m bringing my friend, Amy Cobb, back on the show to share how God called her to step outside of her comfort zone and do something new. Amy has been a guest on the show twice before.

Hey, friend! We’ve talked a lot about living out our calling on the podcast in the last couple of months. But you may be wondering what your calling is. You’d love to be able to live it out, but you have no idea what you should be doing.
Well, wonder no more. Today in episode 162, I’m going to share ways we can uncover our calling so we can live it out.
Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite drink, and settle in while I share how to discover your calling.
Be sure to follow this podcast wherever you listen so you will know when I release a new resource to help you find your calling later this month.

Hey, friend. I see you sitting there looking at your calendar for the next couple of months, wondering how you will survive the holiday season that’s looming ahead. Do you feel weary when you think about all that needs to be done in addition to what may be going on in your regular day-to-day life?
Maybe it’s not the holidays that are making you feel weary. Perhaps your life is leaving you stressed and frazzled.
I’ve got good news, friend. There is a remedy for your weariness, and I’m excited to share it with you. So grab a cup of coffee or tea or your favorite drink and settle in to hear how you can overcome your weariness.

https://theplanningwoman.com/cultivating-contentment-november-scripture-writing-plan/
Are you content with your life? Or do you wish that life was somehow different or better than it is now?
Friend, let me put your mind at ease. You are not alone. We’ve all dealt with feeling discontented at some point in our lives.
If you are a believer, you know that God calls us to live with a spirit of contentment. In 1 Timothy 6:6-7, Paul shares these words with Timothy. “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.”
Paul reminds us that we will take nothing to heaven when we die. So we should not focus on the here and now but on the eternal.
In episode 160 of Live It Out With The Planning Woman, I’ll share some thoughts God has laid on my heart concerning contentment. And I’ll give you some practical ways to exercise contentment in your calling.

Have you ever felt like God was calling you to make a shift or pivot in your calling? Has He called you to move from what you’ve been doing for a long time to something new?
I would suspect that if you are a believer, God has made a shift in your calling at various times in your life. Maybe that shift was easy to do. There are natural times when our calling will shift or take on a new focus, like when we become parents and then again when we become empty nesters.
However, there are other times when God calls us to do something new when it may be difficult to navigate that shift.
In episode 159, I invited my friend Christa Hutchins back to the podcast. She was a guest in episode 102 last fall. She is going to share her story about a new shift God is making in her life that she is trying to navigate. I know you’ll be blessed by hearing how she came to know it was time to make a shift and how it is playing out in her life.
In this episode, we cover:
- The shift in Christa’s calling from God
- How we can use the skills God has given us in our jobs to help others in a different way
- How Christa knew it was time to pivot in helping women in their online businesses
- Why we need to honor the season we’re in
- A sacrifice Christa had to make to follow God’s calling
- Blessings Christa has received from following God’s calling
Christa Hutchins helps Christian women with a dream and a job honor all the work God has given them to do through strategic and project planning, and accountability, so they can turn their big ideas into a thriving ministry or business. She is passionate about teaching women to find practical applications of the Bible in their personal, professional, and ministry lives. Christa lives in south Louisiana with her husband in their delightfully empty nest.

Today marks the end of the first year of the relaunch of the podcast. On September 1, 2021, I relaunched the podcast after taking a year off.
Over the last year, we’ve talked a lot about how to declutter our minds, homes, and lives so we can live out what matters most.
In this episode, I talk about a significant event in my life that happened this summer. While dealing with this event, I felt the Lord reminding me how important it is for Christians to make the most of their time.
This reminder caused me to rethink the focus of this podcast. I talk about this change in focus in this episode.
Don’t worry! Things aren’t changing too much. I’m just adding in a bigger focus on biblical or devotional topics. I’ll still share practical tips and strategies for making the most of your time.
In this episode, we cover:
- The history of this podcast
- How an unexpected event caused a change in my focus
- How God can use different events in our lives to change our plans
- What this podcast is going to look like over the next few months

Have you ever experienced a time management “oops?”
We’ve all done it before. You know, saying “yes” to something when our hearts and minds (and calendars) tell us to say “no.” Or we agree to take on too many responsibilities because we believe we have the time to take care of them all.
Maybe it’s because we don’t want to let others down. Or perhaps we just have a burning desire to help out and are always looking for an opportunity to serve. Most likely, though, it’s because we overestimate our available time and have not learned to say “no” effectively.
A few years ago, I went through training to become a Certified Life Coach. During my studies, I came across an interesting way to describe this problem of overestimating our available time. It’s called OOPS–Overly Optimistic Planning Syndrome.
In episode 151, I’ll share my experience with a time management OOPS and give you some strategies for avoiding a time management OOPs in the future.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why saying “yes” immediately when asked to do something is not a good idea
- Three things you can do when faced with a time management OOPS
- Clarifying questions you need to ask yourself
- The power of making one simple change at a time

Do you have two minutes? What about 5 minutes?
Would you believe me if I said you could get important things done in as little as two minutes?
It’s true! You can get important things done in as little as two minutes. Or, maybe it’s more like you can get necessary things done to focus on the more essential things in a larger chunk of time.
In this episode, I will share how you can look at your tasks differently so you can get the right things done with the two-minute rule or by taking five,
It’s so easy to look at your to-do list and become overwhelmed. If you’re like me, you probably have a neverending list of tasks ranging from things you really want to do to those you just have to do.
So, to combat the overwhelm that comes with having a long to-do list, we’ve got to figure out a way to make getting those tasks done more manageable.
In this episode, we cover:
- The rationale behind taking care of small tasks quickly
- Four examples of using the two-minute rule
- How to stay on top of clutter in your home
- The power of taking five minutes each hour to make your home look better and function more effectively
What do you do with unexpected free time?

Welcome to episode 146 of Live It Out With The Planning Woman. This episode is part two of a three-part series I’m doing on the topic of home and personal projects.
In episode 145, I shared my five-step process for managing your home and personal projects. In next week’s episode, I’ll give my best tips for setting up a system to track your projects.
Today I will walk you through the process I go through when deciding which projects to tackle at any given time. This process has its foundations in something that I talk about all the time: knowing your priorities for your current season of life. If you don’t know your priorities, you may try to work on a project that could be more easily accomplished at a different time.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- Why you need to know your priorities
- 5 steps for deciding which projects to tackle
- How the concept of delete, delegate, and defer can help narrow your focus when picking projects
- The three things you need to be able to pick the right project for the right time
When you’re trying to pursue what matters most in life, you want to rid your life of unnecessary work.
Sometimes our to-do lists can seem overwhelming because we’ve listed tasks that are really multi-step projects. When we learn how to break down those projects into manageable steps or tasks, it relieves the stress and helps us to work through them more efficiently.
This episode is the first in a three-part series. Today we will talk about how we can manage our home and personal projects effectively. In episode 146, I’ll share how we can decide which projects to do, which ones to delegate to someone else, and which ones to defer to another time. In episode 147, I’ll share how to set up a system to help you track your projects.
In this episode, we cover:
- The definition of a project
- Why our to-do list can seem overwhelming
- Projects that are good to work on in the summer
- A 5-step process to help manage your home and personal projects
Wouldn't you agree that life is too short to waste time?
I think you would probably say yes to that statement. However, how many times do we go about our days not giving our best efforts because we've taken on too much?

In this episode, we cover:

Have you ever said this?
“When life slows down, then I’ll get to (insert a project or goal you want to accomplish).”
We’ve all been caught by the when/then mindset. This mindset has caused us to put off things we want to do and more importantly what God wants us to do.
So how do we ditch this when/then mindset so we can live the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10?
In this episode, we cover:
- Examples of how the when/then mindset keeps us from doing the most important things.
- How Jesus gives us abundant life.
- How to begin living and not just existing.
- Three ways to ditch the when/then mindset.

Episode 102: Making the Most of Small Pockets of Time with Christa Hutchins
Live It Out Starter Guide with Manifesto
It’s an all too familiar feeling for most women…knowing there is something you should be doing but not being quite able to remember what that thing is.
You’re too busy taking care of the business of life, and your mind is so cluttered with thoughts that you don’t even know where to begin.
Does this sound like your life?
I certainly struggle with this from time to time. As women, we have so many responsibilities. Perhaps you’re caring for your home, family, and work while also tending to the needs of elderly parents or other relatives. Maybe one area of your life tends to overshadow the other areas of your life, and you feel like you’re running in circles trying to get everything done.
When you lay down at night, you can’t fall asleep quickly because of all the thoughts swirling in your head.

Episode 120: Strategies for Putting Boundaries Around Your Priorities
Episode 121: How to Know When It’s Time to Change Your Priorities
When we’re thinking about life management strategies that help us get the most important things done so we can live peaceful and fulfilled lives, we often overlook the need for self-care. There are times as Christians when we feel like we should put the needs of others before our own. In fact, in Philippians 2:3-4, we’re told, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.”
However, we also see Jesus take time away by Himself to rest and reflect and recharge to do what God had called Him to do.
So, how do we strike a balance between caring for ourselves and others?
My guest, Laura Howe, and I talk about the importance of taking care of ourselves so that we can live out the calling God has placed on our lives.
In this episode, we cover:
- The need for care ministry within the church
- How we can reframe our thoughts and accept self-care is something we all need
- Jesus’ example of self-care
- The value of sleep as a part of self-care
- Physical issues that can hinder good sleep
- Why you shouldn’t be embarrassed to talk with your doctor about sleep issues
- 16 strategies for better sleep
- How to use your phone to start your bedtime routine

loves to equip ministry leaders to care for their churches & communities without burning out.
She is the founder of Hope Made Strong and the Church Mental Health Summit. Laura is a mental health clinician and a community development strategist for churches that want to transform their community with care ministries.
