===========================================
Back in August, I ran a free week-long challenge called Dare to Prioritize. In this challenge I guided people through a daily exercise for a week to get everything off their mind and prioritized so they could, most importantly, take action to make progress on their TOP 1-3 priorities each day.
Part of these daily sessions during the challenge is to do a brain dump to get everything off your mind. This is critical because you can't prioritize what's not known. So you gotta get it all out of your head.
AND the brain dump isn't enough. In fact, if you don't pair your brain dump with a process to identify action and a system to hold everything, the relief a brain dump brings is often short-lived.
This is what happened to my wife, Kim, who was in the challenge.
She allowed me to share her struggle with one of my communities and then agreed to let me share it with you here. So this episode is a debrief Kim and I shared after she sat down with me for about 15 minutes to help her make her brain dump more actionable.
My main takeaway;
1 - A braindump is a great way to move forward, but again, it's not enough to keep you from a constant cycle of overwhelm.
2 - Leading and lagging indicators are the key to progress. Really, it's just being clear about the results you are trying to create and the actions you need to take to get there.
3 - Kim, like all of you, is brilliant at what she does. AND sometimes we are too close to our own stuff to see our way forward. It can help to talk it out...so do that.
Question of the Week:What action can you take consistently to make progress on your most important goal?
Let me know over on Instagram.
Have you ever noticed how most productivity advice doesn’t work for women?
That’s because you’re not a man who has a spouse at home who takes care of all the things. You’re juggling your business, your career, and your family. It’s a lot, and no wonder why things slip through the cracks despite your best intentions to get it all done.
When you treat everything as an urgent priority, you lose all sense of what truly matters. This podcast is here to help you change all of that. One week at a time.
Unlike other shows about productivity, only The Productivity Shift helps women in charge (in their biz, at work, at home, etc) take back their time and use it to make progress on what matters most to them.
Each week, Elise Enriquez, a productivity dork and certified life coach, guides you to redefine what productivity is to you. You’ll get strategies and insights you can implement right away. Lighten your load and focus on what’s most important so you can create a life and business that is meaningful to you.
