Episode 178: How I Beat Overwhelm When I Have a Million Things to Do
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.
