Welcome Friend
It doesn’t matter what your title is a SAHM, Work full or part time, Work from home, we all have this never ending list of things to do.  It is a continuous circling in our mind and if you don’t have a plan for it, you may miss some of the things you need to get done.
I like to do a 1 hour power hour brain dump every week!  I like to clear all distractions when I do this-no phone and no interruptions..
If you are always thinking about all the things that you need to do  and they are not written down, it can constantly come into your mind and hang over your head.  It happens to me each week when I do not take the time to do this simple task.!
You are going to want to take notes today…..this is what you are going to do for your 1 hour-if you are driving or doing your dishes, you will want to listen again when you can write down this info.
Get a notebook or use your computer -jot down everything in your mind-all your thoughts and everything you need to do. a
Look at upcoming events-anything you need to do for them.
Put all of these things on the calendar -schedule them so they all get done.    
You will feel so much lighter and getting everything written down will reduce your stress as well.
 
3 reason why you need to do a weekly to do brain dump:
 
First, Getting everything you need to do written down will help you become more organized and putting them in order will help get more accomplished in less time.  
Next, it allows you to utilize your time and energy better so you feel less overwhelmed with everything you have to do.
Third, it increases productivity to get more done because you will have clear focus and concentration.  You will know exactly what needs to be done without worry about other tasks that don’t need to be done until the future.
 
Like I have said in previous episodes, time is not the problem, it is how we use our time that is the issue.  This will help you get more done in your busy schedule that you may feel like you have alot of extra time to do other tasks.
I would love to know if you do a consistent power hour.  Send me a message and let me know how you do it!
