Ever feel like your brain is running a marathon while you’re just trying to get through one simple task?⁣

THE POWER OF understanding coaching

TMy brain felt like it was splitting in six different directions, just drifting, even though what I was doing wasn’t even hard.⁣

Sound familiar?⁣

Maybe you’re like me, and your to do list feels like an endless game of mental ping-pong.⁣⁣

But here’s what I learned that actually helped me, and I know it’ll help you too.⁣

First, Simplify to One Step at a Time.⁣

When I looked at the whole plan, it was like my brain just checked out. So I took one small step and committed to it for tomorrow morning.⁣

For example, my First Action: Tomorrow, from 10-11 am, I’ll focus solely on ONE action, e.g. going for a run.⁣

And that’s it.

Once I finish that, I’ll check in with myself and see how I’m feeling. ⁣

“Keeping it to a single step helps you actually start and keeps you moving forward without the overwhelm.”

‍

Next, I tried a new trick: Visual or Auditory Reminders.⁣⁣

Here’s what worked:⁣⁣

• Visual: I wrote each action on sticky notes and stuck them right in front of me. It’s way harder to ignore than a long, invisible checklist.⁣⁣

• Auditory: I recorded a quick voice memo of my daily goals and played it back each morning. Just hearing it helped my mind focus.⁣ ⁣

Honestly, these tiny shifts made a huge difference for me, and I know they can for you too.⁣⁣

So if you’re feeling scattered, try these out. ⁣
