What if your morning routine didn’t feel like just another to-do list? In this episode of The Productivity Sweetspot, I’m joined by Monica Mangelson to talk about how to build a rhythm that supports your energy instead of draining it.

We dive into the power of intuitive planning — creating structure based on your natural flow rather than external expectations. Monica shares how tuning into your body and emotional state each morning can boost mental clarity and help you lead your day with intention.

We also unpack why weekly planning (instead of hyper-scheduled daily plans) can reduce stress, and how cultivating presence in the morning can shift the tone of your entire day.

This conversation is full of simple mindset shifts and practical tools for energy management, especially for anyone who has struggled with the pressure to “start strong” or check all the boxes before 9 a.m.

Whether you’re building a new routine or looking to soften the one you’ve got, this episode will help you reconnect with your mornings — and yourself.
