Leader Weekly Planning Tool

Leadership comes with a constant mental load. There is always something to track, follow up on, or carry forward—and when it all lives in your head, it becomes exhausting.

The Leader Weekly Planning Tool was built to change that. It gives you one place to organize your week, stay connected to your purpose, and capture what matters as it happens.

Instead of reacting to everything that comes your way, you can step into each week with clarity, focus, and intention.

Summer Camp Planning Spreadsheet

If you are a school leader who is also a parent, you already know that the mental load does not stop when the school year ends. In fact, summer can bring its own kind of chaos, especially when it comes to planning camp and childcare for your own kids.

Between registration deadlines, camp schedules, costs, and logistics, it is easy for summer planning to become one more thing that quietly drains your energy during an already demanding season.

That is exactly why Missy Couch, Founder of CheckBox Pro, created a Summer Camp Planning Spreadsheet. She shared this resource during her latest "What's Saving My Life: Winter 2026" podcast episode, where she talks about the small but surprisingly impactful systems that help her stay sane during the busiest seasons of the year.

Most schools are not lacking tools. They are lacking a simple, shared system that defines where communication lives and how it is used.

When there is no system, messages get repeated, missed, or buried. When there is a system, communication becomes predictable and easy to follow.

This cheat sheet gives your team a clear structure so everyone knows where to go and what to expect.
