In this episode of The Localist, host Carrie Rollwagen shares her end-of-week agenda routine, a Friday ritual inspired by Kelly Nolan’s calendar method. She explains how planning on Friday — instead of Sunday — helps her spot conflicts, adjust meetings and set a clear path for the week ahead while keeping her weekend free. Writing out her calendar, reviewing tasks and making a Monday to-do list are key parts of staying organized without actually diving into work.
Carrie also highlights the importance of scheduling personal joys, like coffee with a friend or a movie night, alongside professional tasks. With practical tips and relatable examples, she shows how a little Friday planning can make Mondays — and the whole week — feel more manageable.
