Feeling overwhelmed right now? This is a way to see exactly what you're holding in your head.
Not just the house and the kids. Everything: you, your relationship, your work, your health, the people in your life. One sitting, about twenty minutes, and at the end you have the whole lot in one document.
The reason it works is the order. You dump first and sort second. Most people try to do both at once, which is why they stop after four things.
Your list never leaves this browser. I only ask for your email at the end, so you have somewhere to keep the document. I never see what is in it.
Don't sort it, don't judge it, don't decide if it counts. If it's taking up space in your head it goes in. Spelling doesn't matter.
Already keep a list on your phone? Copy it and paste it in here.
What is running out?
Tap every one where you're the one who has to think of it. Not do it, just think of it. If nobody else would remember, tap it.
Your document is ready.
Pop your email in and it opens on the next screen, ready to download.
To be clear about what gets sent. Only your email address. Everything you typed stays in this browser and never reaches me or anybody else.
That list is not a to-do list and treating it like one is how it ends up back in your head by Friday. It is an inventory. The point was to stop carrying it.
Read it once. Pick the one thing that made your stomach drop, and only that one. Leave the rest on the page where it can wait for you.
Working out what's actually yours, and handing the rest over properly, is what I teach in Carried, a six-week group for mums.
Start with the free 40-minute workshop online on Wednesday 4 November, 8pm Sydney time.
