088: 5 Ways To Beat Overwhelm

  • Resumen

  • Feeling like you're constantly chasing your tail in your design practice? I know I've been there—drowning in emails, juggling multiple tasks, and never quite feeling like I'm on solid ground. However, the most important thing to remember about overwhelm is that it is just your perspective on a moment in time. It does not have to be your reality. I've found a lifeline through simple, yet effective strategies to curb the chaos and I’m here to walk you through five key steps to take back control. From setting non-negotiable communication boundaries to the benefits of an organized, color-coded calendar, you’ll say goodbye to the paralysis of overload and hello to the well-oiled machine that is your creative business.

    Imagine your day compartmentalized into neat, color-coded blocks, each dedicated to a specific task—no more bouncing between tasks like a pinball. In this episode, I share the transformative power of time blocking using accessible tools like Google Calendar. You'll learn how to prioritize effectively with just an index card and why multitasking might actually be your kryptonite. Plus, I'll let you in on the secret to maintaining a sense of accomplishment and focus, cultivating control in your professional journey and personal life. Each segment of your day can be a stepping stone to building a thriving practice without feeling like you're constantly on the brink.

    I've got some creative communication tactics up my sleeve that will endear you to your clients and keep them excited about the progress of their projects while still setting clear boundaries for your time. And for those who are ready to take their creative business to stratospheric levels, I'm rolling out the red carpet to the Go Beyond Intensive event in sunny Scottsdale. It's a chance to connect, learn, and grow with fellow designers who are all about embracing smart systems and a mindset that propels them forward. So tune in, get inspired, and let's journey together toward a design practice that nurtures your extraordinary life without the burnout.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Strategies to eliminate overwhelm in your design practice

    • The importance of regular project updates and setting communication boundaries

    • Ways to use time-blocking tools like Google Calendar for productivity
