What to Do When You’re Too Overwhelmed to Start Organizing

Ever feel like getting organized sounds amazing in theory but totally impossible in real life? Like, your brain knows a tidy digital system would save time and stress... but you’re too mentally fried to even think about where to start?

In this second episode of my four-part series on “The Real Cost of Disorganization,” we go deeper into why you still haven’t gotten started—even after shifting your mindset from episode one.

If overwhelm, distractions, or decision fatigue have you stuck, I want you to know: you’re not broken, you’re just overloaded. And this episode is your permission slip to take small, doable steps toward order (without the shame spiral).

I’ll walk you through four super simple strategies to finally get out of stuck mode, even when the idea of “getting organized” feels like a mountain you don’t have the energy to climb.

You’ll also hear real stories from listeners that prove you’re not alone in this struggle, and more importantly, that change is possible.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
  • Why disorganization isn’t your fault (and what’s really behind it)
  • The truth about what clutter is silently costing you
  • The three things creating your personal “overwhelm tornado”
  • Four actionable steps to get organized, even if you’re mentally exhausted
  • One hilarious (and oh-so-relatable) story about misplaced worksheets
  • What support and systems actually look like in real life
  • Resources Mentioned:
