When it comes to getting organized or tackling organization projects, do you freeze up with overwhelm? Do you feel shut down, do you start to procrastinate, or do you feel that avoidance starting to take over?

Risa Williams and Erica Curtis are here to help with some simple strategies to navigate our nervous systems when they go into "fight or flight" mode over everyday tasks we need to do.

We discuss:
-Different states of nervous system activation
-Executive functions and what happens when we're stressed out
-How to calm and soothe ourselves into starting a hard task
-How we can help ourselves out a little more by breaking things down
-Why writing things out is so important to do for our brains
-Using Risa's gear shifter tool to figure out what energy you need to get into next

**Come to Risa's free talk on Monday, August 26th at 9 am PST, about procrastination, sponsored by Focused.space:https://www.focused.space/procrastination-playbook
