About Meg & The Daily Pep!
I’m Meg and I’m the host of The Daily Pep! and The Couragemakers Podcast and founder of The Rebel Rousers. I’m a coach, writer and all-round rebel-rouser for creative and multi-passionate women to do the things only they can do and build a wholehearted life. When I'm not recording episodes, writing bullshit-free Letters of Rebellion to my wonderful Couragemakers community or hosting workshops/group programmes, I'm usually covered in paint or walking my wonderfully weird cockapoo Merlin.

Good morning Daily Peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. It is hump day and today I want to remind you to trust your own process. So lately I've been doing some business planning and I simply forgot just how much I fucking love Post it notes. I can get really tempted and seduced by all of the latest productivity apps and I often forget that I do my best thinking with pen and paper. And when it comes to really brainstorming and figuring things out for me, there's very little that is better than the Post it note. Now, I am not here to sell you on Post it notes, although I'm sure I could do that at length. But I am here to remind you to go with what works. It can be so easy to fall down the rabbit hole of what tools do other people use? What would be the best way of doing this? And for many of us who are neurospicy, we love novelty and just the glimmer of a shiny new thing gets us really excited.

But sometimes there's nothing better than going back to the tried and true for you. Now you may do your best thinking on a walk or at the gym. You may bloody love a spreadsheet. You might be more of a verbal processor and find voice memos really helpful. And the most important thing to remember is it only has to work for you. It doesn't matter if it looks messy. It doesn't matter if it is understandable or legible to anybody else. What matters is that it works for your brain and your way of thinking.

So whatever problem you're trying to solve right now, whatever you're trying to work out, maybe a brand new tool and maybe a brand new perspective aren't what you need. Maybe you need good old fashioned time with yourself in the way that has made the most sense in the past. Even if that looks like doing a collage. Here's to figuring our shit out. Here's to remembering that we know way more than we think we do. And here's to doing it in our own messy way. I'll see you tomorrow.
