When Planning Starts to Feel Like a Chore

At some point, planning can quietly stop feeling enjoyable… and start feeling like another task on the list. In this episode of Between the Pages, with Mariane, we talk about the moment when planning turns into a chore, why it happens, and how to soften the relationship instead of forcing consistency. You’ll hear about: * the pressure to “stay consistent” * when planning shifts from support to obligation * why motivation drops when something feels forced * gentle ways to make planning feel lighter again This isn’t about fixing your system or pushing harder. It’s about making planning feel human again. 🎧 Listen while planning, cleaning, walking, or resting.
