How Clear Priorities Create Lighter Weeks

If everything on your to-do list feels important, this episode is for you.

In Episode 03, Nicole Ghirardi and Stephanie Petry walk through Step Two of the Weekly Reset: Prioritize. This step helps shift weeks from overwhelming and scattered to focused and intentional.

Nicole and Stephanie talk about why long to-do lists often create more stress than clarity and how choosing a few meaningful priorities can change how the entire week feels. This episode reframes prioritizing as an act of stewardship rather than pressure.

This conversation is about learning how to hold plans loosely, define success with intention, and move through the week with clarity instead of guilt.

• How mental load increases when priorities are unclear
• The difference between a to-do list and true priorities
