Does your to-do list make you feel more stressed instead of more organized?

Many busy moms believe to-do lists are the solution to their overwhelm, but these lists often create hidden problems that actually increase your stress and decrease your productivity.

In this episode, I share my signature framework to help you pinpoint your priorities and finally break free from the endless to-do list cycle preventing you from actually being productive.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• The three key problems with to-do lists that make you feel constantly behind and overwhelmed
• How to determine which tasks to drop, defer, delegate, dumb down, or do well
• Why perfectionism is secretly sabotaging your productivity and how to overcome it
• A simple system to identify your true priorities so you can focus your limited time and energy on what actually matters

HOMEWORK:

Go through your to-do list and implement the Five Ds Framework to clarify what your most important tasks are. Identify which items you can drop, defer, delegate, or dumb down versus which tasks you must do well. Remember, this process is especially powerful when you're feeling overwhelmed or when life throws you a curveball.

In the next episode, I'll dive deep into the difference between capability and capacity. This distinction is key for busy mamas trying to keep up with it all.
