Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Summary
This week I'm answering a question from the question box about managing overwhelm when you have a million things on your plate. I walk through the exact system I use to stay on top of multiple clients' to-do lists without losing my mind, including why I still swear by a written brain dump, how I prioritize tasks by size, and the timer trick I use to push through the stuff I keep avoiding. I also share a recent change I made to how I handle email and Voxer, and why protecting your energy is really at the root of beating overwhelm.
What I Talked About
- A personal update on vacation prep and current booking capacity
- Answering a listener question: how do I manage overwhelm?
- Why I keep a written brain dump list instead of going digital
- Prioritizing tasks by size to build momentum fast
- The timer trick I use for tasks I keep putting off
- How I time block client work to protect my mental bandwidth
- Checking email and Voxer only once a day
- Honoring how your brain actually works instead of forcing someone else's system
