Feeling overwhelmed with all there is to do to start or run your online business?
Honestly, I’d be surprised if you didn’t sometimes feel a bit overworked, burnt out, or just plain tired.
Running a business isn’t always a walk in the park, but there’s help.
In this episode, I’m going to give you a 20-minute action plan that’s going to clear your head, create good priorities, and organize your to-do list so you can actually get it done rather than worry over it.
How to actually prioritize a mile-long to-do list, because when everything is a priority, nothing is.
An easy method to dramatically reduce overwhelm in just five minutes.
Why you shouldn’t put fake due dates on tasks, and what to do with them instead.
How to avoid endlessly “improving” on something in a search for perfection, and just get it done already.
Yet another thing I use 3 x 5 notecards for. Seriously, I buy them by the hundreds and I think you should, too.
Resources mentioned:
My favorite note cards. I use these for organizing courses, taking notes while on calls, prioritizing my to-do list, and even
Six-Figure Systems. My monthly online business training membership, where we talk about marketing, product creation, content planning and more.

I so needed this today. I have been feeling completely overwhelmed this past week with all the things I am trying to get done – Stretch Yourself Challenge, My book of poetry to the publisher, client calls, clutter and more clutter….. I like the idea of a brain dump and will find my 3 x 5 cards to do this. Thanks Cindy
Great podcast Cindy! I can’t think of a single business owner who doesn’t occasionally feel overwhelmed. I use Asana now but I used to use index cards and definitely like being able to physically move things around.
Here’s what I came up with to remember what to think about each time through.
