Fixing Mom-Brain by Closing Open Loops

Take the Mom's Weekly Review Masterclass: https://www.simplyconvivial.info/weekly-review-masterclassOvercome perfectionism and start with baby steps as you work on organizing and planning. A 'weekly review', which is a practice to continually iterate, allows us to grasp our plans and obligations for the upcoming week. An integral part of this process is identifying and addressing 'open loops'. Coined by David Allen, 'open loops' refer to uncertainties, obligations, or commitments in one's life that are undefined and might be causing stress or anxiety. They are the things that are on one's mind but are not being actively addressed. The first step in tackling these open loops is by ‘brain dumping’, which involves writing down all the things that are occupying your mind. This practice helps make them specific rather than vague, reducing the feeling of overwhelm. The next step is to focus on particular issues among these open loops, and take baby steps to address them. Essentially, regular brain dumping and reviewing of these lists in a weekly review can lead to better organization and reduction of stress.📖 Get my latest book: How to Use a Planner Without Wasting Timehttps://amzn.to/3CcRzuy➡️ Take the free daily card challenge and practice with me! https://www.simplyconvivial.info/todo-list/🏆 Enroll in Simply Convivial Continuing Education and get practical life management mentorship so you don't have to be overwhelmed anymore: https://www.simplyconvivial.com/stop-overwhelm
