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.

When Your Plate is Too Full: Prioritize Your Way to a Lighter Load

Hey Shifters! In this episode, we're diving into that overwhelming feeling when your plate is too full - you know the one, where your chest gets tight just thinking about all those tasks? Let's talk about how to handle it, especially during the hectic Q4 season.

In this episode:

- Why Q4 can create extra stress and overwhelm

- The importance of brain dumps when feeling overwhelmed

- How to sequence projects instead of trying to tackle everything at once

- Using your "bonus brain" (system) to manage tasks effectively

- Moving projects to January (or later) isn't failing - it's smart planning

Key takeaways:

- Just because something is on your to-do list doesn't mean it needs to be done now

- Your system should support you by holding tasks until you're ready for them

- Daily engagement with your task management system is crucial

- Treat your project planning app like your email and calendar - check it daily

- Your task list reminds you of what YOU want, while email often shows what OTHERS want

Until next time, Shifters, keep making progress on what matters most to you!
