I love Sarah and her podcast and her book on nest planning. I am a long time planner and I consider planning one of my hobbies. I am a longtime advocate of Dave and Allen’s book getting things done, but I still had trouble getting things checked off my lists. Sarah’s nested planning approach and great weekly tips helped me become way better at getting cool things done.

I really enjoy the approachable way this podcast discusses planning that makes me feel better about enjoying the planning almost as much as the event itself. Sarah is friendly and enthusiastic about her topic in a way that doesn’t make you feel guilty for not doing everything the way that she does it. Highly recommend!

Whenever I catch myself taking planning and organization a little too “seriously” I find myself gravitating back to Sarah’s podcast. She has such a positive and realistic approach to living an intentional life and I find her shining light to be just the right prescription for my “planning stress”!

I found no better way to start Monday mornings than with this upbeat, always practical planning podcast!

I like this podcast but I am compelled to send a message: listening to the “let’s plan our week together” episode and this is the first time I am finding you incredibly hard to listen to. It sounds like your producer sped up your voice? Or you have ingested too much caffeine or meds for the day? You sound manic and it’s literally giving me anxiety. You apologize for the rambling. The rambling isn’t a problem. Your fan base will listen to you as long as it takes within reason. A process episode is understood to be a little meandering bc you are recording a process “live” while demonstrating. Please slow down/chill out. Either in post-production or while you are speaking. I really think this is a post-production choice and it’s not necessary. I will delete this review after some time bc I really do like the podcast—but I wanted to send feedback through a fast channel and this is easier for me than emailing.

I absolutely love Sarah’s approach to planning and time management. She makes intentional living feel achievable rather than overwhelming. Whether you are a planner enthusiast or just looking to bring more order to your days, this podcast is full of gold. Sarah is a fantastic host—highly recommend!

Discovered this podcast last year & it has been a delight! Thank you for creating entertaining and informative content week after week! I cannot wait to open Latest Episodes on Monday mornings to see what topic has dropped. Loved your book too!

Sarah’s podcast is a delight to listen to. Her enthusiasm for all things planning & planning adjacent inspire me weekly to use my time well- to get the most out of life. I love hearing examples from her own life and all her practical tips. She’s amazing! I look forward to every episode and am thrilled with her new book which I devoured over winter break! Congratulations Sarah and Thank you for all you offer!

I look forward to this podcast every week. I also love Sarah’s book. It’s nice to have all the details in one place.

Every Tuesday, I go onto my Apple Podcasts and download your latest podcast. You are so unbelievably consistent, your podcasts are enjoyable and I wish you all the best. This episode was fantastic as I too think EC shouldn’t have been a judge. Maybe Amy Tangerine or a planner-adjacent person would have been better. And I am So happy Laurel Denise planners were included. Those planners are my planner peace.

Fun and functional, upbeat yet real. Concrete planning examples plus more abstract planning principles.

I admit I have love/hate relationship with planning, but this podcast inspires me to love planning more than I loathe it. I appreciate the in-depth planner reviews, Q&A’s/behind the scenes with Sarah, and the “planner-adjacent” conversations with guests, diving not only into their areas of expertise but how they plan and the tools that they use. Thanks for all you do, Sarah!

If you love planning, this is the place for you! We can all geek out and enjoy planning for FUN and also for productivity and reaching goals. 😂 Sarah has a cheerful voice and each episode is well planned but also very real and relatable! Really enjoy this podcast!

I found BLP from a guest sharing their interview episode and I enjoyed the ep immensely, which is rare because I’m not big on podcasts. Since then, I’ve worked my way through the entire back catalog of episodes. Sarah became my companion on my long commutes and I genuinely enjoyed listening to every episode. Sarah strikes the perfect balance of rotating episode “themes” (interviews, product reviews, planning process explanations, and more) to keep the content engaging. She’s also found the perfect balance of how to share about her life in a way that makes the episodes feel like catching up with a friend without losing the point of the show, which is planning and planning adjacent content. Sarah has been an ongoing motivator for me to become more intentional with planning as a way to accomplish my goals (LOVE her nested goals system!) and remember that life is about finding joy amid our schedules and responsibilities. Also, I found Sarah’s voice to be incredibly melodic and beautiful to listen to!

Have listened for years now and love that there is a place to consider and learn about planner ideas every week. Sarah is always authentic, positive, resourceful, enthusiastic and overall incredibly thoughtful. Thank you for all of your efforts to create this for your listeners.

As a busy full time working mom of two young boys, this podcast helps reduce my feeling of overwhelm. I love the upbeat positive attitude of Sarah and the helpful practical advice for planning and prioritizing.

I absolutely love Best Laid Plans! Sarah has such a thoughtful, grounded approach to planning and productivity that feels both inspiring and attainable. Whether she’s doing a deep dive into her own planning systems, reviewing planners and tools, or chatting with guests about how they organize their lives, I always walk away with new ideas. It’s the perfect blend of practical tips and planner enthusiasm, without the pressure of “doing it perfectly.” Highly recommend for anyone who loves planning—or wants to love it more!

I love listening to Sarah. She’s down to earth and very realistic about planning.

Happy birthday, Sarah! I love listening every week to hear planner peace submissions and to see what you might give a review on.

So many episodes I have saved and reposted to semi regularly as I’m trying to dial in my weekly and daily planning routines and planner use. Can’t recommend Best Laid Plans enough!

Happy birthday, Sarah I hope this year is filled with great joy. I have loved your podcast. You are a wonderful planner and someone that truly explains how to live your life better. Thank you for changing mine for the best.

I look forward to Sarah’s podcast every week! She is always practical and upbeat and has really helpful insights!

I don’t even remember how or when I found Sarah’s podcast!! I subscribe to BLP and it is truly something I actually look forward Monday morning!

One of 2 poscasts I subscribe to. It is everything a podcast should be: professional, on topic, concise, honest, helpful. Sarah is smart, kind, and a great resource for “all things planning and planning adjacent.” 😉

I’m just through the first segment of episode 249 (In The Weeds) and it is already helping my brain just hearing Sarah describe all the things causing her to feel overwhelmed right now. I’m in the same boat. I know this is temporary and there is hope for a way out!

Found Sarah through Best of Both Worlds podcast. I love both podcasts and Sarah herself! As a working mom of 3 little kids I don’t have tons of time to plan so I don’t use the actual planners she discusses but I find her outlook on planning very helpful! I also just enjoy listening to anything Sarah talks about as she feels like a friend at this point. :-)

I don’t exactly fit in the demographic that Sarah does but nevertheless, I find her podcast informative, organized, and interesting. As an exercise physiologist I especially liked her podcast on planning for health changes in the New Year. I am going to pass this on to clients and friends. Listening to Sarah’s podcast has encouraged my planning and goal setting, which has made my life better. One of the few podcasts I listen to at 1.0 (regular) speed. Looking forward to the next one!

Enjoying the variety of ideas and inspiration from Sarah. I’m not a mom or runner. I do enjoy planning and ideas for making life easier. Sarah shares so many every week.

Best Laid Plans makes me feel much more connected to others in both my love of planning and the struggle to “fit it all in.” Sarah provides numerous practical tips and strategies that have made my life (and therefore the lives of my family members!) so much better. I love learning about new planners and how others plan out their lives (other women in particular!), so this podcast is #1 for me!

The Best Laid Plans podcast with Sarah Hart-Unger is a game-changer! Sarah’s advice is spot-on and so relatable—you’ll feel like you’re chatting with a friend who really gets it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make the most of their time without the overwhelm!

Sarah, I just listened to your interview with Sarah Jedd and I am leaving very inspired!! You asked Sarah so many wonderful questions that really allowed her to encourage us mama's that there is SO much freedom in planning with and for our family! She also reminded us that there are seasons for everything!! Thank you so much for the wisdom you are sharing on this platform!!

I always take something away from these episodes and Sarah is so warm, intelligent and a pleasure to listen to.

I listen to BLP on a continuous loop. I discovered it back in 2022 and was hooked! I’ve since gone back to listen to every episode and play old episodes every morning on my way to work. Sarah is so knowledgeable, easy to listen to, clearly explains her concepts, provides awesome content and insights, and keeps her listeners in mind at all times. You’re the best Sarah!

I love listening to Sarah‘s advice and insight! It’s helped me to see planning as a tool to unlocking more from life rather than a chore. Super appreciative of this content!

Listening to Sarah on my Monday morning commute helps me feel motivated and more in control of the week ahead. She is inclusive and invites listeners in as a community. Even though she’s a skilled planner, she lets listeners see her struggles and roadblocks.

I have been listening to this podcast for about a year now and I LOVE it. I look forward to it every week. Sarah’s calm and reassuring attitude, her no nonsense and functional approach, and her example of career/motherhood/personhood is so inspiring to me. Listening to this helps me a lot with planning and building my skills as a home and family manager. Highly recommend.

This podcast popped up in my suggested section today, so I checked it out. Oh my goodness, it’s as if I’ve found someone just like me! Planners just make me happy, and I’m always looking for better ways to use them. This podcast seems perfect for that, and the speaker is so easy to listen to.

Love this podcast! Great practical tools that I can apply to my life same day :)

I really enjoy Sarah’s content. Her views on planning are similar to mine and her tips are great.

I always listen on Mondays on my way into work and it makes me feel like I can plan my way through it all!

Easily the best organizing and planning source. Practically and not too much wasted space. Perfect!

Sarah is a great speaker and gives practical advice about planing and life and lots in between. I also love how she does use “ums” or “like” while she is speaking - leads me to believe she has carefully thought out what she wants to say. Thanks for all you do!

Hard to credit a podcast with improving my life, but I do feel like this podcast achieves that. For the first time, I set new years goals that are actually achievable and meaningful thanks to SHU. I am tracking things and feel like I am accomplishing more than ever. I don’t use paper planners (only digital) but I still really enjoy this show and its teachings.

This is a fun podcast that will help you organize your life! Listening to this podcast feels like talking to a friend- Sarah is funny, compassionate, smart, and very relatable. She doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but the answers she does have are super helpful.

I’ve been following Sarah for a long time now…on both of her podcasts! I love BLP it gives me info on how to plan my life as I move into new challenges and eras! I love her knowledge of planning and her cheerful demeanor as she provides the most helpful info!!! Thanks Sarah!!!

I listen to this show on my morning walks. It’s informative and motivating. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, Sarah!

Sarah’s planning frame works and philosophies truly work for anyone on any platform. If you want to build your own planning system to plan your days and accomplish your big goals - this podcast is for you!

I love listening to Sarah - I hadn’t used planners since college, but started listening because she is so positive and inspirational and gives so many great productivity and time management tips - but now I’m starting to get into planners! I don’t have kids, but learning how to plan has greatly helped me accomplish so many goals and reduce stress in my life.

Sarah does a great job giving a great mix of helpful planning strategies, tips and products. She has great, practical insights. A great way to start any Monday morning on the right track

Love the reviews, guests, and great tips to stay organized
