I wonder if you've noticed this too, but like me, weren't able to put words to it? 😪 It starts with a coffee mug. (The simple representation of everything ordinary in our lives.) One coffee mug meets a real need. You want your morning coffee. You need something to put it in. The mug serves you. It makes your day easier. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. One mug is essential. One mug is simple. It’s functional. It’s enough. But what happens when we add more? Two mugs aren’t wrong. Five mugs aren’t sinful. Nothing bad has happened. And yet, something subtle shifts. Now you have to choose. You have to store them. You have to wash more dishes. You have to organize the cabinet. You have to remember which one is your favourite. The need hasn’t changed. But the management has increased. When we move from one to several, we haven’t increased happiness. We’ve increased friction. There are more decisions, more items to maintain, more things competing for space. It’s small. It’s quiet. But it’s there. And when we move from several to many, that quiet friction starts to feel heavier. Now the cabinet feels tight. Now mugs are stacked in front of each other. Now they tip over. Now you feel irritated when someone uses your favourite one and leaves it in the sink. The first mug met the need. The rest started asking something from you. And this is where the example becomes bigger than mugs. The first item meets the need. The extras create management. When the need has already been met, adding more doesn’t move us forward. It keeps us circling the same base level over and over again. We tell ourselves that more will make life better. More options. More variety. More backups. But most of the time, the first one already solved the problem. I was watching a survival show recently (Alone by The History Channel), and what struck me wasn’t how little the contestants had. It was how clear they became once their basic needs were secure. Food. Water. Shelter. Rest. Once those were steady, they felt grounded. Grateful. Focused.

Hello everyone I wanted to ask you how is everyone? What are you guys doing, what plans to do have going on? What works, what doesn’t? What do you need help with? Let me know!

A new month is here with new perspective, with new ideas. But if we don’t have the clarity to move forward we will be stuck in the same position, time, wheel. I am going through a clarity and planning session and I want to see what are ideas 💡 are you guys implementing in order to get better today then yesterday. What are you struggling with and what do want to do about it, to change it? We can talk about from the any perspective, life, mum life, digital it doesn’t matter what it is. Brainstorming ideas might help us all to get unstuck! So who’s with me?!

👉The Real Reason You Feel Overwhelmed (And How to Fix It)👈 ⁉️Let me guess: you have a to-do list that never ends, you feel guilty about everything, and by the end of the day you're exhausted but feel like you accomplished nothing. Sound familiar?⁉️ 👉Here's what nobody tells you about overwhelm: it's not about how much you have to do. It's about how your brain is trying to manage it all.👈 ✅The Hidden Problem: The Mental Load✅ 👉The mental load is all the invisible work that happens in your head. Remembering doctor's appointments, knowing when the kids need new shoes, planning birthday parties, tracking school events, managing the household inventory. It's exhausting because it never stops.👈 😓Even when you're resting, part of your brain is running through lists and worrying about what you're forgetting.😓 ✅👉Why Traditional To-Do Lists Don't Work👈✅ 😔Most productivity advice tells you to just write everything down. But a giant to-do list can actually make overwhelm worse because now you're staring at visual proof of how much you have to do.😔 😓The problem isn't capturing the tasks. It's organizing them in a way that doesn't send your nervous system into overdrive. ✅The Organised Chaos System✅ 🥹This is where the Organised Chaos approach comes in. Instead of one massive list, we break everything into categories that match how your life actually works: ☑️Daily Non-Negotiables (the absolute must-dos) ☑️Weekly Rhythms (tasks that happen regularly) ☑️Monthly Projects (bigger things you're working toward) ☑️Brain Dump Zone (everything else that's swirling in your head) 😀When you organize your tasks this way, your brain can relax because it knows where everything lives. 😏You're not constantly worried about forgetting something because you have a system.😏 ✅The Power of Brain Dumping✅ ✔️Set a timer for 10 minutes and write down absolutely everything taking up space in your head. Every worry, every task, every "I should probably..." Just get it all out. ✔️Then go through that list and sort it into your categories.
