Ever feel like your brain is a cluttered desk, with tasks and thoughts scattered everywhere? 🧠✨ You’re not alone. As a Productivity Coach, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can be to juggle everything life throws at us. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone, and it doesn’t have to be perfect.

(My feeling on ‘Perfect” is: “It’s better to finish at a “B” level than never be done at an “A” level.” This mantra I coined decades ago dealing with my own perfectionism has helped countless individuals, especially those with non-neurotypical brains like ADHD, find balance and reduce stress. It’s about progress, not perfection).

GAIN CLARITY – ORGANIZE YOUR BRAIN!

Imagine having a clear path, where each step logically builds on the last, allowing you to see the big picture while mastering each task. That’s the power of effective task management and calendaring. It’s not just about getting better at what you do; it’s about becoming better at who you are.

These are skills I teach and skills YOU can learn…

When I was a Professional Organizer and clients came to me with completely disorganized environments – clearing it, minimizing, tidying, etc. – that was a walk in the park. Organizing their mindset was where the real work needed to happen. My protocol: Organize the environment AND Organize the person within it…it has to be a two-pronged approach for it to work and stick.

So, how do you organize your brain? What’s one small change you can make today to reduce overwhelm? Share your thoughts in the comments!
