Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women

Shownotes Transcript

Do you feel like you’re constantly busy yet never making progress on the big goals or projects that matter most? Spoiler alert: your daily task list might be the problem.

While task lists feel productive in the moment, they often keep us trapped in short-term thinking and busywork—pushing those long-term projects further and further down the line.

In this episode, I’ll break down why task lists aren’t serving you when it comes to your big-picture goals and what you can do to fix it. With the right planning system, you can shift your focus, eliminate the overwhelm, and finally start moving the needle on what matters most. It’s time to stop rewriting the same tasks over and over and start creating plans that actually work!

In This Episode, We’ll Explore:

  • Why task lists are focused on urgency, not progress
  • How task lists create mental fatigue and keep you stuck
  • The simple shift that ensures your big goals stay a priority
  • How to plan your week in a way that eliminates the stress of daily to-do lists
