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.
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.
