As someone who has always been a "lover of lists," this idea of ripping up the to-do list is both terrifying and liberating. It's a challenge to let go of the illusion of control, but the rewards of embracing my sacral energy and trusting my intuition are immeasurable.
PS. I had my human design chart done and interpreted about a year ago and it has been strangely life changing.
The more I learn about HD the more I lean into it. It seems so make so much sense to me, compared to other archetype systems I have learned about in the past.
This is a timely post as I write out my plan for 2025.
I now live a life with self care and healing at its core.
Writing is part of this and I’m trying to create new paid work from this.
Planning is my best life skill but the way I plan is changing.
I’ve moved from consistency to commitment.
With self care at the centre of everything in my life now, these are my main categories;
Level 1- basic self care such as eating, dressing- (styling and make up), rest, activity (dance, running, yoga, dog walking), writing- healing practices
Level 2- Parenting, home care such as cleaning/ admin
Level 3- Connection-social activities with kids, dating, online social media, family, friends
Level 4- Writing
a- nurturing and building an audience
b- creating
c- planning
d- money making
Level 1 to 3 feel mandatory. If I have free time and energy I can then allocate activities move into Level 4. A Level 4 activity is usually done first to soothe an itch as it usually demands my full attention. This causes some anxiety when I see everything else that is on my to do list. So your post has given me permission to attend to my itch first.
I’m definitely going to explore human design as part of my 2025 planning.
This is music to my ears Piata! It's so nourishing when we actually put ourselves first, and everyone else gets the best of us too then, so really it's a win-win. I'd love to hear how your 2025 planning goes 🧡
I'm an MG too! My authority is emotional though, which can be painfully difficult to balance with sacral urges. 😭 Fortunately I've learned that for smaller, "inconsequential" decisions I can allow my sacral energy to lead. If it's anything big or life changing, I've absolutely got to let my emotions roll and wait.
Hmmmm…just done my weekly list (shifting all the things I didn’t do last week onto a new one) and this approach feels SO much more joyful. Will have a play. Also VERY human design curious so thank you xo
Love this collab post from the two of you! 👏 I can definitely relate, Louise, as I'm an MG too. I also make weekly lists in my bullet journal. I could *never* use those planners where you plan out your day on a timeline and what you're going to work on at what time. I need way more flexibility than that!
I've tried so many timeline planners and the like and I always end up feeling as though I've "failed" and just wasted my money 🤣 This way really seems to embrace who I am a lot more and helps me to feel more in tune with myself.

Love the idea of starting the day with a 'hell yes' - much kinder and more energy-building than 'eating the frog'.
Absolutely. I shudder to think how many frogs I've forced myself to eat 🤣

That’s so fascinating. And I love how it can inform our everyday lives - from big things through to very small things.

I'm loving reading this! Do reach out if you have questions about human design, the conversations are my favourite part 😃 x
Thank you - I have no idea what I am but feel drawn to it!
If it feels good to check it out further, I’ve got a tool where you can check and find out, it’s just here :) https://sarahlynas.co.uk/human-design-chart/
Aha, fabulous. Do let me know how you get on.

I love the "second brain" idea for this too... Things are tracked but I can decide when it's time to get to them easily.
Absolutely. That way you know it isn’t forgotten but it also doesn’t have to be ‘front and centre’
