Overcoming Overwhelm as an Indie Author

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! This week I have a solo episode for you where I talk all about overcoming overwhelm as an Indie Author. Some things I share are: · Why getting clear on your 'Writing Why' and your values is essential for minimising overwhelm. · The power of Pareto's Law to direct us towards where to spend our time and energy, and what to let go of. · The magic question I ask myself every day to ensure I'm reaching my goals and ending the day feeling accomplished. · A little-known way to supercharge your affirmations, break habits, and put an end to overwhelm. · And why sometimes the thing you most need to do is nothing! If you've ever found yourself drowning in to-do lists, and overwhelmed and burnt out trying to do ALL the things, then this episode is for you!
