Welcome to the NEWLY REVISED bENCOURAGEd Today Podcast!!! In this episode Amber explains what is coming this year and some timely encouragement for going after the plans that God has for you in 2022! This episode is brought to you by www.planningwithamberdavis.com - Simple planning resources to help Christians go after the plans God has for them, while keeping God and family top priority!
One of my favorite things about doing what I do is getting to connect with people. No matter how old we are, we all want to fulfill the plans that God has for us. The challenge for many of us is knowing those plans and I don’t just mean the dream or idea, but also how to practically pursue our God-given dreams through goals and dated actions.
I am so proud of one of my students, who happens to be a recent high school graduate. This teen has been developing her God-given talents in music for years, but recently took my FLIGHT course (see details below) and began to apply it to one specific God-given dream or what I like to call - Passion Project. I watched her run with the course principles and I could not be prouder of her.
Listen in on how Ariyah Brynn used the principles in my book FLIGHT to launch her latest music video for her debut single "Dejvu"

Is your place productive?
And what I mean by productive is a term I call “enjoyable productivity!”
This would describe a place where you truly enjoy getting things done.
When you wake up each morning do you have that special place where you pray to start your day that is so inviting that it draws you in?
When you go into your office area - either at work or at home - do you feel refreshed, energized, and ready to get to work on the things God has called you to do?
When your kids or you are ramping up for that zoom call for school, work, or to connect with friends or family do you already have that set spot or are you scrambling to find the right place away from laundry, dishes, or harsh shadows that make you look like the scariest version of yourself?
Then this episode is for you - because today Shelly Massey, owner of Simply Clean Homes joins me as we share how to “Make a Place in Your Space” creating productive places for prayer, office, and zoom life .
For a great resource for creating "enjoyable productivity" in your life...

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner today I wanted to encourage you to...
Do What You Love!
- So, what do you love to do?
For me I love it when my family are all in one room with no media on and we are laughing, mostly because of my husband, while we tell stories or share jokes together. I also love writing in my journal - it is so relaxing to me - after my Bible time, almost every morning, you can find me in my chair, in my bedroom, typing up a journal entry as I sip my hot tea. I also love to kick the soccer ball around with our aussiedoodle Tux - which is most certainly what He loves to do.
Recently, I asked two of my friends to share what they love to do and how they continue to do what they love.
Emily Mercer is a Biblical Counselor and longer time lover of prayer.
Van Hickman is a comedian and annoucner who developed a love for voice over work.
Both Emily and Van share inspirational and practical tips on how they continue to do what they love to do.
Key points to take away from this episode...
When it comes to doing what you love remember to:
~ Keep what you love fresh!
~ Overtime, grow what you love to do!
~ Honor your uniqueness!
So that you can continue to Do What You Love!
Doing what we love is made easier when we create “enjoyable productivity” in our lives. I love helping Christians spend more time doing what they love with the people they love - one way that I do this is through an approach I call...
“Make Your ALL Small”...
Working from home, schooling from home, living from home

Do you want to stay productive? That is an interesting question, because if you see productivity as a HAVE to - a way in which you HAVE to get things done at HOME or WORK then staying productive does not seem like something that you want to spend time learning how to do more of.
But as a Christian if you look at your productivity as a way to maximize your time so that you can spend time with the people you care about and fulfill the plans God has for you - then staying productive will be something that you love to do - I call this kind of productivity - “enjoyable productivity!” - it is encouraging, energizing, and helps you get things done!
The best fuel for any productivity and especially for “enjoyable productivity” is to...
Know your WHY!Let me break WHY down into 3 categories
- WHY for tasks & chores
- What is a task vs a chore
-
Link It Twice - Ask yourself twice “Why?”
-
WHY for projects and big assignments
- What is a project or big assignment
-
Link it Three Times - Ask yourself three times - “Why?”
-
WHY for Passion Projects or God-given dreams
- What is a Passion Project or God-given dream
- Link it As Many Times As it takes to Get to your core Why?
In all three of these scenarios someone or multiple people should pop up.
Because ultimately, as a Christian whatever you do should bless someone
Examples... Vacuuming the house; working on a proposal, doing your homework, paying bills, starting that business that you always dreamed of; - PEOPLE are blessed.
So, once you know WHY you are doing whatever it is that you are doing - you are...
- More apt to keep doing it.
- Enjoy doing it more
- You see the connection that people have to whatever it is that you are doing!
Working from home, schooling from home, living from home - Does your HOME & OFFICE feel like one BIG PROJECT - ALL at the same time? At the end of the day do you wish you had more peace and time for more important things in your life - like your relationship with God and your family

Today’s episode is for Melissa and for all of the other “go-getters” out there! Melissa is a soccer mom who helps a soccer organization in her community. But beyond her volunteer time in her community Melissa also takes care of her family, and helps her elderly parents. She home schools her children and manages her house. Melissa is like you and I - she is a “go-getter” - but even Melissa can become overwhelmed with home and office projects
I want to encourage Melissa and all of us that we can enjoy life while getting things done when we do not try to do it “ALL” at once. When we trade in B I G plate portion projects for “bite-sized” productivity we can make our “ALL” “small” which helps us to bENCOURAGEd Today!
Today, we are going to talk about one of my favorite Make Your ALL Small - “bite-sized” tips...Name the Day! - But before I begin let’s define what a Chore is.
- Chores vs Projects
- Do you need a plan for a chore?
- What we overcomplicate we do not do on a regular basis (simple systems)
I used to create elaborate charts and spreadsheets for home chores and projects. While they looked clean and professional hanging from magnet clips and framed on my kitchen wall - the assignments were not being completed like I had envisioned. My family was overwhelmed by my ultra type A order - this frustrated me -until I made the decision to throw out the charts and simplify the system. This is when I decided to - Replace Chore Charts with...
Name the Day! alliterations like... - Saturday/Sunday Sheets- Floors on Friday - Website Wednesday. When we apply Name the Day! We create what I call “enjoyable productivity” in our lives and the lives of those around us. I challenge you - try Name the Day! for a month - at first you might have to put up a sign, but by the end of a few weeks your crew will catch on!
Are you ready to start getting things done in an enjoyable way so that you can spend more time with your family and pursue the plans that God has for you? Let me help you with the...

We can overcomplicate what we need to accomplish. Either we over do it or under do it. Either way it becomes complicated because we add or subtract from the very thing we are trying to complete. You know what I mean. Remember that time when the garage needed cleaned? We all do - whether it was a garage, vehicle, office - pick a space. And more than likely it went one of these two ways:
- Make your all STALL…
You went to open the door to the garage and thought, “Where do I begin?” So you started moving things around, looked in boxes, looked at your watch, and said things like, “Who really needs a place to park their car? The car does not pay its portion of the mortgage. It does not deserve a roof.” The decision had been made - to live with the garage the way that it was, because it could STALL until another day.
- Make your all TALL…
You decided this was your next project, so you called a meeting with your family, the neighbor, a co-worker, and your dog. You laid out the plan of action, divided up the tasks, and rallied the troops. You led your team to the garage and began digging through boxes where you found old photos. You started looking through those stacks of photos, remembering days gone by. Five hours later your team was gone and the dog was whimpering for his supper. You brought the photos inside to sort, making that your new project. The decision had been made to live with the garage the way that it was, because it was too TALL to tackle today.
Many things in our lives, even beyond the garage, can become so overwhelming to tackle because we think we must do it ALL at once. We begin to think that if we can not “eat” all of it now then we should not even take the first bite. For example:
- If I cannot detail clean the bathroom what is the point of wiping down the sink?
- If I cannot organize my entire office why even begin purging files?
- If I cannot have my website up and linked to every online bell and whistle how could I think of opening my business.
This “all or nothing” mindset stops us from getting started on almost everything. But does it have to? What if we change how we think about the word “all”? What if “all” became small?

Starting something new is exciting - whether it be a new year, new job, new project, or a new habit. But new becomes old very quickly if we do not refresh ourselves throughout the process.
As Christians, this must involve us seeking God while applying practical disciplines that will help us finish what we begin. One of my favorite Scriptures encourages us to finish what we start...
“Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.”
~ 2 Cor. 8:11-12 NIV
HOW do we make sure that we “Now finish the work” that we have begun?
Let me encourage you to Do These 5 Things to Finish What You Start…
- Eliminate Distractions - make what used to be a distraction, a reward
- Focus on a Few - simplify by only working on a few habits or projects at a time
- No More Than Three For Me - pick 1-3 mentors to follow
- Generate a Plan - stop planning and instead invite God into your planning time :)

Are you ready for a fresh start; a clean slate; a new beginning?
There is no better time than right now to fulfill the plans that God has for you.
But you might be thinking -
"Amber, I am ready, but I do not know where to begin."
OR
"Amber, I am concerned that I will begin something, but not finish it."
Well, either way - bENCOURAGEd Today!
Because today I am sharing with you about my #1 Productivity Tip!!
I call it Review Preview - and it is all about meeting with yourself with God so that you can begin to fulfill the plans that God has for you!
Why is meeting with yourself my #1 Productivity Tip?
Here are 3 reasons...
-
Because someone needs you - to fuflfill the plans that God has for you because it will help her/him fulfill the plans God has for her/him too! - You are someone's inspiration!!!
-
Because setting goals does not fulfill goals - Just like setting a tea cup next to a tea pot does not make your tea for you. You must have regular accountabililty to fulfill your goals
-
Because planning alone does not work - I mean this figuratively and literally. Planning all by ITSELF does not work and planning all by YOURSELF does not work either - if you truly want to fulfill the plans that God has for you you must have accountability with plans and you must invite God in during your planning sessions.
Learn my 3 STEP approach to meeting with yourself for 30-45 minutes each week so you can Generate a Plan with God.
Here is how to begin to apply this tip in your life today...

Today is a special episode to inspire you through God’s Word.
As Christians, we all want to fulfill the plans that God has for us,
but sometimes we get distracted, discouraged, or demotivated.
So today I want to inspire you with what God says about PLANS.
Simply put - listen to these Scriptures, along with some encouraging words,
and allow them to help you…be Inspired, be Productive, be Fulfilled

How do I fulfill the plans that God has for me?
First - checkout Episode #15 Episode "Develop These 6 Abilities to Launch Any Project"
(LINK BELOW)
But after you have discovered what you were made to do - I hear this question a lot -
“Amber, where do I begin to fulfill the plans that God has for me?”
bENCOURAGEd Today, because the answer to this question is simpler than you think!
One of the best places to begin to fulfill the plans that God has for you is to sow your gifts to others. YES! By sowing you will start growing - you will begin to develop your God-given gifts.
This is why I have invited two of my friends who understand this principle and who have and continue to…. “Sow to Grow”!
Greg and Wa'Lisa Smith have been singers, songwriters, and musicians for many years!
They own their own Production company - G&W Media Productions, where they produce and assist in distribution of mostly indie artists. They also write and record their own music, and have released 4 projects, one of which is currently still being streamed world-wide. The Smiths attribute a big part of the development of their gifts to sowing their gifts.
On today’s episode “Sow to Grow - Tips on Giving Your Gifts.” Greg and Wa’Lisa share...
- How and where they learned to sow their gifts
- How their gifts developed as they sowed them
- How to balance sowing with getting paid for your gifts
One of the reasons why I create all the resources at bENCOURAGEd Today.comwas to help you identify your gifts so that you can develop them to fulfill the plans God has for you! Once you know your gifts you can "Sow to Grow!" those gifts to others.
As you continue to develop your gifts God will put ideas and dreams in your heart.

As Christians we want to fulfill the plans that God has for us right?
Then what prevents us from jumping into those plans?
I have learned how to…
Break Through 5 Obstacles to Fulfill a God-Given Dream.
Today let’s knock down these obstacles one by one so you can get those God-given dreams off of the ground!!!
- Doubt/Fear - “F.E.A.R” - False Evidence Appearing Real - When doubt comes do these 3 things -
1.) Speak words of faith
2.) Remind yourself that EVERYONE experiences regular doubts
3.) Take Action on something towards fulfilling that dream
-
Time - Learn to Prioritize your time so you will Prioritize your Passion!
-
Energy - Eating right, sleeping well, and life balance gives you energy to keep moving forward
-
Money - repurpose what you have until you can purchase what you want
-
Approach - Knowing what your next step is helps you...
-
Track - like a train - no matter what is going on around you will keep moving forward
- Traverse - when Doubt, Time, Energy, or Money issues come along you will be able to traverse them because you are focused on your next step
- Travel - move toward each next step traveling to your ultimate destination
This is why I create all the resources at bENCOURAGEd Today.com - to help you apply an approach that works!
You are not alone!
Let me help you launch ONE God-given dream or Passion Project so that you can apply an approach over and over taking multiple dreams to FLIGHT...

This podcast is a little different today - Normally, I follow a production clipboard - I sit down each month and plan out all the podcasts for several weeks - which helps me schedule recordings in advance, so that I can produce resources and balance my workload - But as today got closer I kept pausing that production schedule - because I wanted to share some timely encouragement.
- Address election challenges, feeling discouraged, or really just frozen
- You did what you could - now focus on your house - the plans God has for you
So what CAN you do to bENCOURAGEd to fulfill the plans God has for you?
Here are 3 Steps to Get Stirred Up!...
- Get around an encouraging environment - You just heard about bENCOURAGEd Today Podcast Community Facebook Group -
- Identify your Strengths
- What do people like about you? - Ask and make a list of 5 character strengths
- What are you good at? Make a list of 5 gifts strengths
Look on these Strengths regularly and I am going to give you something that will help you…
Strengths postcard
- a small printable postcard for you to fill out and post on your bathroom mirror or somewhere you look often to encourage you daily!
- Pinpoint a Passion Project - over the next few weeks I am going to help you do this - Help you pick ONE passion project that you are going to go all in for - this will give you purpose and begin to help you fulfill the plans that God has for you!
So stay with me and look for next week’s podcast on HOW to pinpoint your Passion Project!!!!

Have you ever heard of the phrase “Jack of all trades, but a master of none?”
While it is important to be able to adapt to situations, projects, and responsibilities the more that we streamline our lives the more we can experience what I call...
“enjoyable productivity”!
We all have different gifts and talents as well as strengths, but what happens when we are able to maximize our strengths in a way that we flex them in multiple areas of our lives?
What happens is “enjoyable productivity!”
My guest today has done just that - by streamlining passion!
- she identified her passion and pursues it in many if not all of the areas of her life.
- homeschool
- work
- entrepreneurship
- being crowned Mrs. Nashville
Rachel Pope has streamlined her passion creating “enjoyable productivity”!
On this episode Rachel Pope and I discuss how to “Streamline Your Passion”
Because no matter what your passion is or what your strengths may be when you streamline your passion it helps you to...
be Inspired, be Productive, be Fulfilled ~ bENCOURAGEd Today!
be Inspired today as Rachel shares…
- How she discovered her passion
- What she says yes to and what she says no to; and how she decides
- What benefits she experiences since she has been streamlining her passion
How do we we determine what we should be spending our time, energy, or finances on. When presented with an opportunity Rachel asks herself this question...
"Is this for my highest and best good?"
Rachel personally uses my #1 Productivity tip each week to help her keep her passion streamlined so that she can fulfill the plans God has for her.
bENCOURAGEd to apply this approach with my Review Preview - Meet with Yourself Guide & Checklist - learn how to…
- Maximize a 30-45 minute meeting with yourself each week

Downloadable Guide & Checklist - LINK Below
Okay, all you have to do is watch the news for a few minutes to know that this world has some big challenges.
You might be facing...
~Some big questions that need answers;
~Some big problems that need solutions;
~Some big decisions that need planning;
I do not have all of the answers or the solutions but I can help you with planning.
I want to introduce you to a new perspective on planning.
You already saw the title of this episode and I am sure that you are wondering how that is possible.
So first let’s say it together…
“I DO NOT PLAN!!!”
What?
Yes! - You might be thinking that a productivity coach telling you not to plan is like an admiral telling his officers to put screen doors on their submarines, but it actually is not as ironic as you may think.
Let me explain by starting with a few definitions:
*Plan: a method for achieving an end
A plan is not only a method, but it is a method that has an end.
If it does not have both it is simply a task
- not to be over complicated - just do it, don't plan it :)
But for all those projects, ideas, and dreams - as Christians we should not be planning, but instead…
Generate a Plan!
*Generate: to bring into existence.
Our plans may be “in” us, but they should not be “of” us.
Jeremiah 29:11-13, in the New International Version says...
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
In this episode I share a story...
My business trips to Cairo, Eygpt
- Switching from Canda to Cairo last minute
- Stressed because all I could see were my plans being changed
- I thought that I was going there on a business trip - but I went there to fulfill the plans of God had in my life.
- I learned the importance of inviting and allowing God to help me plan
But HOW do we Generate a Plan in our lives?

- Invite God into your planning time

Are your To Do Lists overwhelming you?
Stay with me, because on today’s episode I am going to give you…
3 Tips on To Do Lists that you can immediately apply for real results!
But first, this week’s encouragement comes from a LIVE video on the
bENCOURAGEd Today Podcast Community Facebook Group where I shared tips from my... “Review Preview Meet with Yourself Guide & Checklist”
Ashley shared - “This week has felt chaotic all because I didn't take that 30 minutes to generate the plan! For our fam, we hit the ground running Monday so I have found Sunday evenings are PRIME for meeting with myself to review & preview and I even add it to my calendar on my phone so I don't forget. Hope this helps you!”
Ashley - You get it! It is not about adding something extra to your week Review Preview - my #1 Productivity Tip, is to help you launch into your week with God so that you do not feel chaotic and you do fulfill the plans that God has for you!
Thank you for sharing Ashley!
________________________________
Now, let's talk about To Do Lists…One of my favorite quotes is...
“Paper is to write things down that we need to remember. Our brains are used to think.”~ Albert Einstein
3 Tips on To Do Lists
1. Make ONE Weekly To Do List... Helps us determine 4 things…
- Determine how much we need to do
- Determine how full our plates truly are
- Determine if we need help to do what we need to do
- Determine our discipline for writing things down
Determine - fix or form a position; to bring about a result
2. Take it with You!
To Do Lists are NOT pets.
(For pics on my dog Tux follow me @amberdavisbencouraged)*
#3. Two - To Don’ts
- Don’t tear or remove your To Do List from its’ "home"
- Carry it in a purse, backpack, or briefcase
- If you have on a device I recommend using an app like Apple Notes
BIGGEST TIP OF ALL... 2. Don’t undervalue your To Do List.
What Should be on Your To Do List?
~ Projects, Tasks, Reminders
- Homework assignments
- Buy birthday gift
- Organize sock drawer
- Change litter box
- Finish reading my book
So, What Should NOT be on Your To Do List?
~Habits that you do that need no reminders...
- Wake Up
- Brush my teeth
- Take a shower
- Eat lunch
Write down your To Do List and sync it each week during your Review Preview time so you can bENCOURAGEd Today!

Okay, so let’s begin today’s podcast with some encouragement!
This week’s encouragement comes from a LIVE video on the bENCOURAGEd Today Podcast Community Facebook Group where I shared tips on how to “Purge to be Productive”
Today’s encouragement comes from Holly - who shared -
"I so needed this about doing things in "little bites." The purge/productivity has really been on my mind. Our environments are so important...and clutter creates stress. My office also doubles as Clara's playroom. I am in the middle of purge, as well as painting the house to make it a more "cheerful/motivating" environment. Great message!"
As I read Holly’s comment I knew that I wanted to dive further into this concept of “Purge to be Productive” - Thank you Holly for your comment and we are going to get to this subject today!
Today we are going to think on…
“3 Thoughts to Launch into a Productive Season” so that you can truly create what I call…“enjoyable productivity” - approaching getting things done with a purpose to fulfill the plans that God has for you, which includes making your life and other people’s lives easier
In order to change your habits you must change the way you think about those habits.
Thought #1 - “Little Bites of Productivity”
What does this look like?
Think of doing tasks and projects in 15-45 minute increments.
EXAMPLES…
- cleaning out a drawer in a room instead of the whole room
- cleaning out a 2-3 files in your file box instead of the whole file box
- clearing one area of a closet instead of the whole closet
- writing a page instead of a chapter
- calling 3 clients instead of the full list.
BREAK the Myth: “I have to get it all done!”
Instead think - “Make Your All Small!”- (I will share this concept in detail in an upcoming podcast)
Thought #2 - “Purge to be Productive”
Remember what Holly said… "clutter creates stress”. This is why I am encouraging you to “Purge to be Productive” this means make room for margin.
EXAMPLE...
3 times a year I schedule a purge -
- Once at the end of the school year in May
- Once at the beginning of the school year in July/August
- Once at Thanksgiving time
Thought #3 “I Do Not Plan”
What? - Yes! Say it with me…Instead Generate a Plan!
But HOW do you Generate a Plan? I have created a tool to help you do this!!!
It is actually my #1 Productivity Tip - I call it --->“Review Preview” and I created a guide and checklist to help you implement it in your life too.

1 Episode “My #1 Productivity Tip” Show Notes
This is it! My first episode of bENCOURAGEd Today Podcast - where I share productivity tips to help you fulfill the plans God has for you!
In this episode I share…
- How I developed my passion for productivity and organization
- My career in training and organizational development
- How I was transformed from a work-a-holic to fulling God’s plans in my life
- My #1 Productivity Tip!
I also share 2 Bonus Productivity Tips…
- Do not underestimate being productive right where you are! - I give a practical example of how I applied this principle, working my way up through the restaurant industry, to become the youngest traveling training supervisor for a multi-million dollar restaurant chain
- Always be ready with at least one productive question that you can ask someone who knows more about where you want to be! I share how being ready with my one question changed my life and eventually led me to my #1 Productivity Tip.
- Make this question count - It should not just be, “How are you today?” This question should be important to your passion. It should be a question that if you had a few minutes with someone who really inspires you - you would ask them this question so that you could grow to your next level
- Be ready, because you never know when this kind of opportunity will present itself. Write it down or memorize it so you will be ready to ask it when the time comes
Does this describe you?...
~ Are you overwhelmed by all the projects in your life and as a Christian your desire is to fulfill the plans that God has for you?
~ Do you look around the house at all the messes and you feel like you are playing clean-up all the time instead of fulfilling your God-given dreams?
~ Are you a Christian entrepreneur in business or ministry who is trying to balance work and family and know that this should be more enjoyable because God put this dream on your heart?
Wherever you are in your Christian life you want to fulfill God’s plans that He has for you and I want to help you - with my #1 Productivity Tip:
Review Preview Meet with Yourself Guide & Checklist This productivity Guide gives you a 3 step approach on how to meet with yourself each week so that you can create “enjoyable productivity” in your life.
