Love Life And Lose Weight

64: Three Tools To Break Free from Overwhelm, Over-Planning, and Overdoing


Listen Later

In this episode, I introduce three powerful tools to help you overcome overwhelm, overplanning, and overdoing. These tools are designed to make it easier for you to prioritize what truly matters to you including weight loss. There more you can do that, the better chance you have to reach ALL your goals.

In this episode you'll learn:

•How overwhelm affects your weight loss journey and why addressing it is critical
•How to use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance
•Strategies to shift your mindset around time scarcity and regain control over your schedule and tasks
•Practical tips for time blocking and restraining your to-do list to 3 items daily.

Coach Homework:
1. Download the Eisenhower Matrix worksheet by visiting my instagram account @ThriveInMidlife and comment MATRIX on any of my posts, and I'll DM you the link to download. 
2. Practice leveling up your thinking about time and agency to experiment with decreasing overwhelm. Find 10 power thoughts about your time and practice thinking them every day for at least two weeks. 
3. Classify your current to-do list tasks into each of the four quadrants using the Eisenhower Matrix: urgent/important, important/not urgent, urgent/not important, and neither urgent nor important. 
3. Schedule out the days and times of your Quadrant 1 and 2 tasks into your digital calendar. Practice following through and give yourself the gift of completion. 
4. Time block recurring tasks into your calendar so you can take those tasks off your to-do list forever. 
5. Use this system for 4-6 weeks to organize your tasks, prioritize what’s essential, and delegate or delete tasks that don’t move you toward your goals.
