Our lives can feel overwhelming, with too many things to do! We have chores and small tasks and messages to answer, bills to pay, dishes to wash, people to contact, and much more. So how do we handle all of this?
First, it can feel overwhelming when it’s a huge pile of stuff and seemingly not enough time.
Second, the small stuff will overwhelm all the available space, because it always feels urgent when we’re feeling behind and overwhelmed.
So one good answer is to create structure. Create spaces to deal with all the things in your life:
- Bill Pay Mondays
- Inbox Zero Tuesdays
- Admin Fridays
- House Chore Party Saturdays
- Email and messages Sacred Hour – daily at 4pm
- Morning planning & intentions
- Monthly taxes day
- Meaningful Work Play Time at 10am daily
- And so on
Not these specific spaces — your structure will be different than these. But if you have a space for all the stuff, you can relax and know that it will be taken care of.
What structure can you create to take care of everything important, while creating structured and intentional space for your meaningful work?
