The Solo Grind
When Your Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open
🎧 Episode Summary:
Ever find yourself mid-conversation or deep into a project and your brain just… stops? That frozen moment usually has nothing to do with your skills or creativity and everything to do with the invisible to-do list running in the background of your mind. From client work to admin tasks, personal projects, and future goals, those mental tabs add up fast. In this conversation, I’m sharing how I recognize the signs that my brain is hitting overload, the real impact it has on creativity and productivity, and the simple ways I lighten the load so I can focus on what matters most.
What I hope you take away from today's episode...
☕ Your invisible to-do list is normal, but it does not have to run the show
☕ Overload kills focus, drains creativity, and fuels decision fatigue
☕ The more you externalize your thoughts, the less mental energy they take up
☕ You do not need more tools, you need the right one that works for you
☕ A brain dump can be the fastest path to mental clarity and renewed focus
