Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women
You wake up with a plan. By 10 AM, it's completely off the rails. By bedtime, you're mentally running through everything you didn't get to and wondering how tomorrow will be any different.
Work + Life Harmony is the weekly podcast that teaches women a completely different approach to time management, weekly planning, and productivity.
Hosted by Megan Sumrell, a time management expert with 20+ years in systems and planning, this show will change the way you think about your calendar, your to-do list, and how you spend your time.
Megan covers everything from weekly planning strategies and daily routines to goal setting, organization, and how to handle the curveballs that throw your whole week off. Her approach was built specifically for women managing work, family, and the million things in between, not recycled advice from productivity systems designed for someone else's life.
If you've been stuck in the cycle of overwhelm, guilt, and never-ending to-do lists, start here. New episodes every week.

How I Plan My Entire Summer Around Two Types of Days
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Summer is coming, and if you've got kids at home, you already know the tension: you want the lazy pool days AND you need to get things done. This episode is the system that makes both possible.
I'm revisiting one of my all-time favorite summer planning tools: A days, B days, and C days, and this year I'm going deeper than I have before. I'm also sharing the extra layer that business owners especially need to hear: how to figure out your true "have-tos" before summer hits so you're not scrambling all season long.
This is one of those episodes that sounds simple and then changes how you plan every single week of summer. I hear from women inside the TOP program all the time who use this not just in summer, but year-round, and once you get the framework, you'll see why.
What You'll Learn:
- What A days, B days, and C days actually are and how they're different from just "blocking time"
- How I structure an A day (family-forward) so I still get my work done without sacrificing the fun
- What a B day looks like in my house, including how I talk through it with my teenage daughter ahead of time
- Why the family communication center is the thing that actually makes this work
- The business owner layer: how to audit your recurring tasks before summer and decide what's a true have-to vs. what you can let go of
- Why I only apply A days and B days Monday through Friday and why protecting weekends matters more in summer than any other time of year
- How to use this framework even if you're not running a business (yes, it works for you too)
- How to look ahead at June, July, and August right now and start mapping it out
