In episode 379, we're borrowing a folktale you likely know, the three little pigs, to look at what's happening when a habit falls apart and how to rebuild it with sturdier materials each time. The same three stages show up whether we're learning a new skill, developing a routine, or making a big decision.

In Episode 379, You Will Discover:

  • Why the early, wobbly versions of a habit are a required part of building one that holds
  • How to reflect on a habit that collapsed so the next version comes back with stronger supports
  • A simple check-in to locate where you are with a habit, a skill, or a decision
  • Why replacing one brick is so much easier than rebuilding the whole house from scratch

A project you want to finish, a goal you want to reach, a skill you want to develop. And somewhere in there, your ADHD brain offers a very confident opinion about it: that's just not possible for me.

In episode 378 of I'm Busy Being Awesome, I'm walking through the five-step process I use to move through that doubt and take action, and I'm using my own current growth edge as the live example. After 377 episodes of writing out every single word before I click record, I'm three months into an experiment to teach from an outline instead. I don't know how it ends yet, and that's kind of the point.

In Episode 378, You Will Discover:
  • A five-step process you can apply to any goal, skill, or project your ADHD brain has written off as impossible
  • Why finding real examples of what's possible does more to shift a limiting belief than motivation does
  • How to tell a full body yes goal from an intellectual should you've absorbed from somewhere else
  • Why an experiment that "fails" still counts as a win worth celebrating

Two things can be true at the same time with ADHD brains. No two of us are alike, and also, the minute we start talking with another ADHDer, we're saying, "NO WAY, me too! I thought I was the only one."

In episode 377 of the I'm Busy Being Awesome podcast, we look at one of the reasons behind both experiences while building your executive function map in the process. By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of which areas come more easily for you right now, which ones take the most effort, and where a little more support would make the biggest difference.

In Episode 377, You Will Discover:
  • What executive functions are, why they matter for the ADHD brain, and why access to them changes from day to day
  • The 10 executive function and self-regulation areas that shape our everyday functioning, and what each one looks like when it comes more easily
  • How to narrow all ten down to the one or two areas that would benefit most from support right now
  • The three questions that turn one area into a practical experiment you can actually run

So when you sit down to plan something new, a thought might show up that sounds like "why even bother? I'll just feel disappointed anyway."

In episode 375, we're borrowing a practice from the business world called a pre-mortem, where you imagine the project already fell apart and work backward from there. I've adapted it for ADHD brains so the exercise helps you feel prepared and capable.

In Episode 375, You Will Discover:
  • Why the six to eight week stretch in quarter four is such a useful window for one focused goal
  • What a pre-mortem is, how it differs from a post-mortem, and a powerful modification for ADHD brains
  • The five questions that help you plan for obstacles while keeping the exercise contained and supportive
  • How to decide, ahead of time, what supporting yourself looks like on your lowest capacity days

You open the doc, look at it, and close the doc. The project is enormous; every piece of it seems equally important, and there is no obvious way in. This week we're pulling four strategies for exactly that kind of ADHD project overwhelm, and they come from a rather unusual place: a 1500-piece Harry Potter puzzle on my dining room table. Turns out starting at the beginning isn't always the best place to start, and sometimes that's what's keeping us stuck in the first place.

In Episode 374, You Will Discover:

  • Why your usual approach to starting a big project might be keeping you stuck, and how cognitive inflexibility keeps us there
  • How to sketch a "box lid" so your ADHD brain knows what done actually looks like before you take the first steps
  • A question that helps you begin when your brain insists it doesn't know where to start
  • Why the details of a project only become visible once you get close to one section, and why "just break it down" stalls out without that step

]]> 👉 Enrollment for Overwhelm to Action LIVE closes Monday, October 5: Join us here!

You open the doc, look at it, and close the doc. The project is enormous; every piece of it seems equally important, and there is no obvious way in. This week we're pulling four strategies for exactly that kind of ADHD project overwhelm, and they come from a rather unusual place: a 1500-piece Harry Potter puzzle on my dining room table. Turns out starting at the beginning isn't always the best place to start, and sometimes that's what's keeping us stuck in the first place.

In Episode 374, You Will Discover:

  • Why your usual approach to starting a big project might be keeping you stuck, and how cognitive inflexibility keeps us there
  • How to sketch a "box lid" so your ADHD brain knows what done actually looks like before you take the first steps
  • A question that helps you begin when your brain insists it doesn't know where to start
  • Why the details of a project only become visible once you get close to one section, and why "just break it down" stalls out without that step

Somewhere in your house there's probably a return you've been meaning to drop off, a form that needs signing, and an appointment you've been meaning to schedule. While individually, each task would likely table about ten minutes, together they add a surprising amount of chatter to an already busy brain.

In episode 373 of I'm Busy Being Awesome, we're naming life admin as its own category of work, looking at what actually makes it so draining for ADHD brains, and building in the stopping point this category never gives us on its own.

In Episode 373, You Will Discover:
  • What life admin actually is, and why no single item in the category ever seems worth mentioning
  • How one "simple" ten minute phone call stacks eight or nine executive functions on top of each other
  • Why shame and isolation tend to show up around admin tasks, and why it isn't just you
  • An actionable way to help lighten the load of life admin overall

Seven simple sentences. Most of them sound responsible, and a couple even sound like good advice. Yet every one of them makes our experience of ADHD overwhelm more intense, longer lasting, or both.

In episode 372 of I'm Busy Being Awesome, we're looking at the second layer of overwhelm: the mindsets we carry on top of an already full plate. You'll learn what each one does to the overwhelm, plus one supportive counter-move for each, so you have somewhere concrete to start when the overwhelm has you feeling stuck.

In Episode 372, You Will Discover:
  • What ADHD overwhelm actually is, cognitively, emotionally, and sensorially, and why it's a full-body experience
  • The seven mindsets that turn an already full plate into something that feels impossible to carry
  • One supportive counter-move for each mindset to shift gears and move out of overwhelm
  • A three-step practice for catching the pattern sooner, so you can make a powerful adjustment to move forward

And I did so at the expense of my own exhaustion and burnout. In this episode, we're talking about a specific flavor of ADHD overwhelm: the kind that builds when your compassion, your capability, and your rejection sensitivity all push you toward being the person who handles everything for everyone else. If you've ever wondered why you used to manage this fine and suddenly can't, this episode names what changed and offers four steps to start shifting it.

In Episode 370, You Will Discover:

  • Why caring, capability, and rejection sensitivity combine to make you the go-to person for everyone else
  • The jar-of-sand explanation for why this pattern used to feel manageable and doesn't anymore
  • How your strengths can tip into obstacles when they run unchecked
  • A 4-step way for your ADHD brain to notice the pattern, name the belief underneath it, and practice the pause before saying yes

Creating Fall Routines: It sounds like such a helpful and supportive idea for the ADHD brain, right? That is...until you go all in trying to rebuild them all at once. In episode 369 of the I'm Busy Being Awesome podcast, we're talking about why this transition from summer to fall feels particularly overwhelming for ADHD brains and three actionable strategies to help.

In Episode 369, you will discover:

  • Why it's helpful to think of "getting back to a fall routine" as rebuilding, not returning
  • The hidden cost of stacking dozens of small transitions on top of each other all at once
  • Why an instant fall reset backfires, and what a gradual reentry ramp looks like instead
  • Three small starting points to ease into the season without overhauling everything at once

  • Why the ADHD brain gets locked into hyperfocus without a built-in signal to stop

Do you ever feel like you've been going non-stop all day, then you get to the end of it and think, "Wait, what did all that busyness add up to?"

This episode is about the practice that changed that for me: the quarterly personal retreat.

I've been doing it for nearly a year and a half, and in Episode 360, I share my exact process, what I've learned from five retreats, and the small tweak that made the whole thing feel worth it from start to finish.

In Episode 360, You Will Discover:
  • How to structure a quarterly personal retreat from start to finish, including the exact reflection questions I use for relationships, work, and personal life
  • Why your retreat can be a morning at the library just as much as a weekend away, and how to define what "done" looks like for your version
  • Why ADHD brains tend to feel like they did the retreat "wrong," and the two-sentence practice that finally fixed it
  • What five retreats over a year and a half have taught me about big-picture planning with ADHD

Check out the YouTube version here! https://youtu.be/SZSXcVJcdnQ

If time ever seems to disappear for your ADHD brain, this episode might resonate. I'm sharing my honest experience using Bravestorming, a magnetic tile-based planning system that turns your schedule into something that makes time tangible, flexible, and finally... real.

In Episode 359, You Will Discover:
  • Why your ADHD brain benefits from seeing time as a physical object, and how tile-based planning solves time blindness in a way digital tools simply can't
  • Why "thinking in tiles" can help ADHD brains build a more tangible relationship with time
  • A walkthrough of the full Bravestorming system (Thinker Board, MoveNote, MoverBook, MoverPad, and Tri-fold) and how I use each one in my actual weekly ADHD planning routine
  • The one key principle that matters more than any specific tool: how to give different lengths of time a consistent, recognizable visual form so your brain starts to internalize it

In Episode 359, You Will Discover:
  • Why your ADHD brain benefits from seeing time as a physical object, and how tile-based planning solves time blindness in a way digital tools simply can't
  • Why "thinking in tiles" can help ADHD brains build a more tangible relationship with time
  • A walkthrough of the full Bravestorming system (Thinker Board, MoveNote, MoverBook, MoverPad, and Tri-fold) and how I use each one in my actual weekly ADHD planning routine
  • The one key principle that matters more than any specific tool: how to give different lengths of time a consistent, recognizable visual form so your brain starts to internalize it

If you've ever sat down to plan your day and found your ADHD brain staring at a list where every task seems equally on fire, this episode is for you. Our brains generate urgency signals for nearly everything, and sorting genuine priorities from false ones is one of the harder things we ask our brains to do in real time.

In episode 356, we're borrowing from the surprising lens of fire lookouts to walk through four practical checkpoints for deciphering a real priority from false urgency.

In Episode 356, You Will Discover:
  • How fire lookouts tell real smoke from pollen plumes, and how we can apply that to ADHD prioritization
  • Four checkpoints for sorting genuine priorities from false urgency
  • What "lightning strike areas" and "high-pollen trees" can teach us about where urgency comes from
  • A simple challenge to help you practice what you learn this week

ow motivation and procrastination are some of the most common ADHD challenges, but what's actually driving (or blocking) your motivation goes much deeper than you think. In this episode, ADHD coach Paula Engebretson breaks down the real mechanics of motivation, procrastination, and ADHD, and gives you a practical tool to take back control.

Every action we take (or avoid) is driven by one of two directions: moving toward a feeling we want, or moving away from a feeling we don't want. For ADHD brains, the "away from" direction runs the show more often than we realize, and once you can see it, everything starts to shift.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The two directions of motivation we all navigate, and which one is most likely running your behavior right now
  • How to identify the specific emotion underneath your motivation so you can stop spinning and start moving forward with intention
  • A 4-step check-in tool to shift your thinking, generate the feeling you actually want, and take one small step forward, even on your hardest days

Your process works. Your output is solid. So why does part of you still brace for the moment someone finds out how you actually get things done?

In Episode 353, You Will Discover:
  • The specific flavor of ADHD imposter syndrome that drains your energy before you even start — and why it shows up even when your results are strong
  • The difference between workhorse and thoroughbred energy patterns, and how understanding your natural rhythm changes everything about how you work
  • Four reflection questions to identify what you're hiding, what it's costing you, and how to build genuine permission to work your way — without apology

"Here we go again. After all this. I'm right back where I started."

This episode has your name on it. Real ADHD growth rarely moves in a straight line, and understanding why changes everything.

  • The Spiral Staircase Model of growth and what it really means for your ADHD journey
  • Three reflection questions to help you recognize and learn from the progress you've made

You've tried every planner, every productivity hack, every "just write it down" system — and none of them stuck. This is because most productivity systems weren't built for the ADHD brain.

After 350 episodes and thousands of hours coaching, this is the framework I come back to again and again: Plan, Act, Complete. It's the ADHD productivity system that's both effective and sustainable.

In this episode, you'll discover:
  • The 3 stages where ADHD brains get stuck — and the specific traps at each one (time blindness, task initiation, the dreaded "last 5%")
  • Simple supports to move through overwhelm and burnout without white-knuckling it
  • How to honor your energy to ensure sustainable change without ADHD burnout

You've tried every planner, every productivity hack, every "just write it down" system — and none of them stuck. This is because most productivity systems weren't built for the ADHD brain.

After 350 episodes and thousands of hours coaching, this is the framework I come back to again and again: Plan, Act, Complete. It's the ADHD productivity system that's both effective and sustainable.

In this episode, you'll discover:
  • The 3 stages where ADHD brains get stuck — and the specific traps at each one (time blindness, task initiation, the dreaded "last 5%")
  • Simple supports to move through overwhelm and burnout without white-knuckling it
  • How to honor your energy to ensure sustainable change without ADHD burnout

    • You know that frustrating feeling where you know exactly what to do, but your ADHD brain just won't let you start? SAME.

    If you've ever had a habit you wanted to keep but somehow couldn't, or found yourself doing something on autopilot that you'd really like to stop, this episode is for you.

    Today we're talking about the 20-Second Rule: a deceptively simple framework for making good habits easier to start and unwanted habits just a little bit harder to access. The secret is in the friction.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • What the 20-Second Rule is and why it works so well for ADHD brains
    • How to identify the "friction" that's quietly derailing your best intentions
    • Real-life examples of removing friction (and adding it) that actually work
    • How to do a Friction Audit on your own habits — right now

    This is one of my favorite frameworks to use with coaching clients, and I think once you see it, you'll start spotting friction everywhere.

That's what the psychiatrist said to me, right before he laughed out loud. Why? Because I had a PhD, a job as a professor, and a marriage.

    In his mind, my "success" canceled out my struggle. That moment was my first lesson in self-advocacy, and it sparked a journey that changed everything.

    • How masking and rejection sensitivity quietly drain your energy and keep you stuck — and what to do about it

    If you've tried every planner, app, and calendar blocking strategy out there but still feel behind, you are not alone. For years, we've been taught that if we could just manage our time better, everything would click into place. But for adults with ADHD, the old "time equals money" equation doesn't always hold up, especially when we're doing complex knowledge work.

    In episode 347 of the I'm Busy Being Awesome podcast, we're challenging core productivity beliefs and exploring an approach that serves our brains better. We're shifting the focus from the clock ticking on the wall to the internal resources we actually have agency over.

    In this episode, you will discover:

    • Why traditional time management advice often fails neurodivergent brains.
    • A compassionate, ADHD-friendly definition of a "productive day."
    • The three core elements that impact your output more than time.
    • Practical ways to work with your natural peaks and troughs rather than fighting them.

Have you relied on this strategy for most of your life, only to suddenly realize it's not sustainable? On the outside, you look successful and put-together. But inside, you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and terrified because the strategies that got you here won't get you there.

    In episode 346 of I'm Busy Being Awesome, we explore a challenge many mid-career adults with ADHD face: the moment your "sand foundation" of grit, hustle, and anxiety-fueled deadlines finally gives way. If you feel like you're drowning despite working harder than ever, episode 346 of the I'm Busy Being Awesome podcast is for you.

    In episode 346, you will discover:

    • Why high-achievers with ADHD often unknowingly build success on a "sand foundation."
    • How to process the fear of realizing what once worked isn't working
    • What it means to pour a reliable "concrete foundation" designed for your unique brain.
    • Three simple experiments to start rebuilding sustainable support without burnout.

If you feel like you're drowning despite working harder than ever, episode 346 of the I'm Busy Being Awesome podcast is for you.

    In episode 346, you will discover:

    • Why high-achievers with ADHD often unknowingly build success on a "sand foundation."
    • How to process the fear of realizing what once worked isn't working
    • What it means to pour a reliable "concrete foundation" designed for your unique brain.
    • Three simple experiments to start rebuilding sustainable support without burnout.

    Today I'm sharing my personal "Inbox Reset" experiment. If you're overwhelmed by email but afraid to unsubscribe because of FOMO (or because your ADHD working memory fears you'll forget that creator exists!), I'm sharing the exact safety net strategy I'm using to let go.

    In this episode, you will discover:

    • Why we struggle to unsubscribe
    • My "6-Month Rule" for deciding what stays and what goes.
    • The specific Bookmark Trick to support your working memory so you can confidently unsubscribe
    • How changing your physical environment can lower the friction of reading.

    This isn't about reaching a perfect "Inbox Zero"—it's an experiment in progress to stop the overwhelm and make space for what we actually have the capacity to enjoy.

    We often think "getting started" is one simple action. But for the ADHD brain, task initiation is actually a complex chain of 5-6 distinct steps, each of which demand our executive functions. When we collapse these steps all into one, we miss the nuance of where the breakdown happens and we default to shame instead of solutions.

    In this episode, we're taking apart the "I'm just a procrastinator" narrative. You'll learn how to identify which of the 6 stages is actually blocking you from starting and find one small, specific way to make it remove the friction and take the next step.

    In episode 344, you will discover:

    • The 6 hidden layers of task initiation (and why 'just doing it' is biologically harder for us).
    • How to pinpoint exactly which step has you stuck.
    • One specific micro-step to remove the friction from the step that's holding you back.

If you have a graveyard of half-filled planners and abandoned Notion dashboards, please hear me: it's not YOU. You just haven't found a system that works with your ADHD brain

    If you've tried every app, color-coded calendar, and 27-step workflow out there but still feel overwhelmed, this video is for you. Today, we're exploring the Alastair Weekly Log: a ridiculously simple, flexible planning method that uses just one piece of paper (or a notebook page) to give you a clear snapshot of your week.

    This isn't about rigid time-blocking or forecasting every minute of your day. Instead, it's a simple approach that helps you visualize your capacity, manage your energy, and start scheduling a reasonable amount for a human (not a robot)

    In this episode, you will discover:

    • Why complex planning systems often fail our ADHD Brains
    • The simple "split page" setup you can do in under 5 minutes
    • How to use the "dot method" to handle tasks when life inevitably goes off the rails
    • Why this visual approach helps curb over-scheduling
    • 5 specific reasons this method is a game-changer for ADHD brains

    Do you want a do-over on the New Year's energy this year? If you found that January somehow got away from you, and your intentions to map out your goals derailed... SAME. I'm right there with you.

    Here is the truth: Transitions are incredibly hard for the ADHD brain. Moving from the chaos of the holidays into a high-pressure "New Year" is a massive transition that we often underestimate.

    So, I've decided that January was simply my "transition month."

    In this bonus episode you will discover:

    • Why January feels so hard for ADHD brains
    • The "Q1 = 2/1" mindset shift that gives you a fresh start
    • How to use the "Word of the Year" as a decision-making anchor
    • The "Good, Better, Best" goal framework to keep momentum without perfectionism

    One Tiny First Step: If the whole year feels too big right now, just ask yourself: What is one quality I want to cultivate in February? That's it. Start there.

    Ready for more support? If you want the accountability to actually stick with your plans this time, I'd love to have you in the January cohort of We're Busy Being Awesome. We kick off right at the start of our new Q1 (Jan 29th)! https://imbusybeingawesome.com/group

    Do you want a do-over on the New Year's energy this year? If you found that January somehow got away from you, and your intentions to map out your goals derailed... SAME. I'm right there with you.

    Here is the truth: Transitions are incredibly hard for the ADHD brain. Moving from the chaos of the holidays into a high-pressure "New Year" is a massive transition that we often underestimate.

    So, I've decided that January was simply my "transition month."

    In this bonus episode you will discover:

    • Why January feels so hard for ADHD brains
    • The "Q1 = 2/1" mindset shift that gives you a fresh start
    • How to use the "Word of the Year" as a decision-making anchor
    • The "Good, Better, Best" goal framework to keep momentum without perfectionism

    One Tiny First Step: If the whole year feels too big right now, just ask yourself: What is one quality I want to cultivate in February? That's it. Start there.

    Ready for more support? If you want the accountability to actually stick with your plans this time, I'd love to have you in the January cohort of We're Busy Being Awesome. We kick off right at the start of our new Q1 (Jan 29th)! https://imbusybeingawesome.com/group

    In this episode, we're talking about what I call the infinite 5% — that last little stretch of a project that somehow takes forever. We'll break down why this pattern shows up (especially for ADHD brains), what's actually going on when it feels impossible to cross the finish line, and two powerful mindset shifts that can help you finally finish — or give yourself permission to pause — without guilt or burnout.

    You'll learn:

    • Why the last 5% of a task feels so hard to finish — and how ADHD brains get stuck in the "almost done" loop
    • The five hidden challenges that make completing projects feel overwhelming (even when you're this close)
    • Two ADHD-friendly ways to redefine what "done" really means — without relying on perfection or burnout

  • Why ADHD brains crave fresh starts (and why January turns that up to 100)
  • What makes choosing one focus so hard when you have ADHD & big ambitions
  • How narrowing to one clear focus can reduce overwhelm and increase follow-through
  • A simple, practical process to clarify your "one thing" without ignoring other parts of your life
  • How to work with your ADHD decision fatigue, fear of missing out, and "all-or-nothing" thinking
  • Gentle, realistic ways to build momentum toward your goals without burning out
    • This episode is for you if…
    • You have ADHD (or ADHD-ish tendencies) and feel pulled toward 27 goals at once
    • New Year's feels like a giant, glittery to-do list you're already "behind" on
    • You're tired of all-or-nothing New Year's resolutions and want something more sustainable

    If this episode helps you feel a little more calm and clear about the year ahead, I'd be so grateful if you'd subscribe to the podcast or share it with a friend whois feeling the New Year pressure too. Your support helps this work reach more ADHD brains who need it. 💜

  • A simple, practical process to clarify your "one thing" without ignoring other parts of your life
  • How to work with your ADHD decision fatigue, fear of missing out, and "all-or-nothing" thinking
  • Gentle, realistic ways to build momentum toward your goals without burning out
    • This episode is for you if…
    • You have ADHD (or ADHD-ish tendencies) and feel pulled toward 27 goals at once
    • New Year's feels like a giant, glittery to-do list you're already "behind" on
    • You're tired of all-or-nothing New Year's resolutions and want something more sustainable

    So if you missed last week's show, I encourage you to go back and listen after you finish today's podcast, because last week we looked at gratitude through a potentially unusual lens.

    We talked all about the process of practicing gratitude ahead of time and how doing so can help you uncover the motivation to keep moving toward your big goals.

    This week we are shifting gears a little bit.

    While we're still focusing on gratitude, we are coming from a few different angles.

    We explore the importance of practicing gratitude for what you have now.

    We discuss practicing gratitude for others.

    And we discuss practicing gratitude for yourself and how this simple shift can completely transform your life.

    Of course, just like all of my podcast episodes, we also talk about strategy, so you can learn how to start incorporating this gratitude practice in your life on a daily basis.

    Sound good?

    Awesome.

    Then listen below, improve your gratitude game, and start up-leveling your life today!

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER…

    • Strategies for practicing gratitude for what you have now
    • Tips to practice gratitude toward others

    So this week we will explore the potentially unfamiliar concept of practicing gratitude ahead of time.

    We will talk about how doing practicing gratitude ahead of time will help you stay focused and moving forward toward your goals even faster.

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER…
    • The benefits of practicing gratitude
    • The importance of practicing gratitude ahead of time
    • How to practice gratitude ahead of time

I hope you're excited because we are about to get real this week.

    Yep. In today's podcast, we are talking about all things priorities.

    And more specifically, we are going to learn how to break through overwhelm, get our priorities straight, and start taking action.

    Truth be told, this podcast was inspired by my own need for a refresher on the topic.

    In short, I was having a hard time keeping my biggest priorities front and center.

    With the school year officially started, I found my schedule much fuller than it has been over the summer (big surprise…) and I was telling myself that there is "too much to do."

    And what's more, I was constantly looping the unhelpful thought that "there is simply not enough time in the day."

    Have you ever felt that way? Do you ever feel like there's too much to do and not enough time to do it?

    HOW TO SET YOUR PRIORITIES AND GET THINGS DONE

    If so, first of all, know that you're not alone.

    And second of all, I challenge you to try on this incredibly powerful thought…

    There is always enough time for what's most important to you.

    Really, it's true.

    There is always enough time for your top priorities.

    Of course, the real secret is learning how to identify which priorities should be your top priorities, right?

    And that is exactly what we explore in today's podcast.

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER…

    • How you can get your priorities straight.
    • How to focus on what's most important in your daily life.
    • Strategies to start taking action today.

    Now, this episode was inspired by a quick challenge that I shared a few weeks ago on my Instagram stories.

    I challenged everyone to establish one tiny habit that they could do in 5 minutes or less.

    What's more, they had to commit to that habit every day for 7 days.

    Now it's true, the act itself might seem small.

    Nevertheless, the sheer practice of repetition, as well as your commitment to yourself, has an incredibly powerful impact on helping you reach your goals and strengthen your willpower.

    So with that in mind, I thought we would use today's podcast to dive further into all things habits.

    Sound good?

    Great!

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER…

    • Why it's helpful to establish good habits.
    • How small habits help you build momentum toward your bigger goals.
    • Different components that make a healthy habit.
    • Habit-forming strategies that you can implement today.

    You see, we all face the challenge of constant decision making.

    In fact, we make about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day, with over 225 decisions being about food alone.

    Seriously – that's a lot of decisions.

    And I don't know about you, but with all of those decisions adding up throughout the day, the very real factor of decision fatigue starts sinking in.

    Seriously, just consider all of the decisions you've made before beginning your workday today. The number is staggering.

    So what can we do about this?

    How can we start making decisions easier and avoid decision fatigue?

    Well, that's exactly what we're going to talk about today.

    In this episode, you will learn...
    • Why it's important to make decisions.
    • The challenge of having too many options.
    • Why so many of us struggle to make decisions.
    • How to make decisions with confidence.

    Be honest - do you make self-care a regular part of your routine?

    Or, is self-care something you strive to include in your life, but you can't seem to find the time?

    Perhaps making time for self-care feels too "selfish" or "self-indulgent" when you have a family, job, friends, and other responsibilities on your plate.

    Am I close?

    Here's Why You Need Self-Care Every Day

    While we might practice self-care every once in a while, I think many of us either don't have the time, feel guilty about "indulging ourselves," or both.

    We pack our schedules with work, meetings, volunteering, and after-school activities. And if we miraculously find a moment of "downtime," we feel guilty for spending it on ourselves.

    And while this is an all-too-familiar situation for many of us, that does not make it okay. In fact, it's a problem.

    So in today's podcast, I'm here to help us take a step in the right direction and start incorporating self-care in our lives every day.

    Yes, you read that right. Daily self-care.

    Tune in now and learn how!

    In this episode, you will discover…
    • The importance of daily self-care
    • My strategy for practicing self-care every day
    • My approach to daily self-care
    • How you can incorporate self-care in your routine every day
    • This week's quote of the week all about self-care

    We pack our schedules with work, meetings, volunteering, and after-school activities. And if we miraculously find a moment of "downtime," we feel guilty for spending it on ourselves.

    And while this is an all-too-familiar situation for many of us, that does not make it okay. In fact, it's a problem.

    So in today's podcast, I'm here to help us take a step in the right direction and start incorporating self-care in our lives every day.

    Yes, you read that right. Daily self-care.

    Tune in now and learn how!

    In this episode, you will discover…
    • The importance of daily self-care
    • My strategy for practicing self-care every day
    • My approach to daily self-care

    Back to school is in the air. The last few weeks of vacation are coming to a close. And work schedules are picking up steam.

    In short, things are about to get busy.

    In today's podcast, I'm helping us get ahead of the game by diving into all things organization.

    That way, when things do get busy, we'll have our ducks in a row and we can take everything in stride.

    And we are going to do this today by focusing specifically on our to-do list.

    We talked a little bit about the importance of having a to-do list in the last episode. So many people simply rely on their brainpower to remember the different tasks they need to complete.

    And while this might be okay for certain situations, studies have shown that for the majority of us, our memories struggle to remember more than three things at once.

    So if you have more than three things to do at any given time – and since you're listening to this podcast, I'm guessing that you do – then it would certainly benefit you to not only maintain a to-do list but also to keep it organized.

    So that's exactly what we're going to talk about today.

    How to create and maintain an organized to-do list.

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER…
    • How organizing your to-do list will help you stay on top of your game
    • The best way to organize your to-do list
    • How to avoid to-do list overwhelm
    • This week's quote of the week all about organization

    Back in 2017 when I launched my blog, I'm Busy Being Awesome, I knew I wanted to reach busy-awesome women who were chasing their biggest dreams.

    I wanted to help incredibly driven goal-getters who wanted to up-level their productivity and time management so they could rock their to-do list and make time for fun.

    And I wanted to spread the important message of practicing daily self-care.

    For the last two years, I've been doing just that on both my blog and through social media. But as I've gotten to know you incredible readers over the last two years, I've realized that perhaps the best way for me to share these messages of productivity, time management, and self-care is through a podcast.

    Now, if you've been following along on this journey on any of my social media channels, whether it's my blog, Instagram, or Facebook, you know how much I love podcasts.

    They are so convenient for on-the-go, and they allow you to learn and grow at pretty much any time; they are perfect for driving to work, cleaning the house, making dinner, or working out. And since I know you amazing readers are often bouncing from one task, activity, or meeting to the next, I wanted to make sure you could get this information as easily as possible.

    And thus, the I'm Busy Being Awesome Podcast was born.

    Get stoked, my friend. This is going to be fun.

    In this episode, you will discover…
    • Why I created this podcast just for YOU
    • 3 simple ways to increase your productivity
    • Practical strategies to incorporate these productivity tips
    • This week's quote of the week all about productivity
