How to Manage Your To-Do List When Everything Seems Urgent and Equally Important


Listen Later

Do you ever look at your to-do list and feel like everything is urgent and equally important? The emails, the projects, the deadlines—they all scream for your attention. In this episode of The Minute Mastery Podcast, I’m breaking down simple, science-backed strategies to help you cut through the noise, find clarity, and actually get things done.

In this episode, you will discover:

  •   Why writing things down with pen and paper boosts memory, focus, and decision-making
  •  A simple framework (the Eisenhower Matrix) to prioritize tasks that truly matter
  • How to identify your “one thing” so you don’t drown in busy work
  • Why daily reassessment makes your to-do list realistic and flexible
  • Practical ways to shift from overwhelm to daily progress

✨ Plus, I’m sharing two resources to help you go deeper:

  • My free Daily Planner for Creatives → your tool to brain-dump, prioritize, and plan your day with clarity.
  • My upcoming Breakthrough Series Masterclass → a live interactive session designed to help you overcome procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt so you can move from delay to daily action.

Tune in and learn how to master your to-do list, even when everything feels urgent.
