Are you glaring at that giant to-do list, mad because you can’t cross off a single one of those to-dos, and it’s been weeks, and you aren’t making any progress?
Good. I have the cure for you.
Take 2 weeks off your to-do list, and go declutter your house.
No, really!
I bet you have a cluttered environment AND a cluttered to-do list, and your brain just can’t function with that much stuff coming at it at once.
Which means the only way out is to consciously start whacking the weeds with your #momlife minimalism ax, because that’s the surefire way to get your brain to calm down.
Take 2 weeks off your to-do list & go declutter your house.
See, brain? Doesn’t the kitchen counter look better? Isn’t the living room floor looking great? Aren’t the cabinets so amazing now?
It’s okay; you can relax now. I’ve got it covered. Your surroundings are clear; you don’t have to flood me with cortisol; and you can take a break.
See, NOW you’re able to work on your to-do list and calmly, consciously, start choosing what to cross off from it each day.
When your brain is going like a hamster because your entire *house* is a giant to-do list? Not so much.
So take the 2-week biz break, go on half-time hours for a week, do whatever you need to do. Purge the house. Get it done.
Your life will be so much lighter afterwards.
Because I’m betting that part of your off-hours overwhelm is because you haven’t decluttered your home. Not fully. Not yet.
Go get that done, THEN come back to your to-do list. I’ll be waiting.
