  • When Everything Feels Important: How to Choose What to Work on Next

    When Everything Feels Important: How to Choose What to Work on Next
    Jun 17 2025
    Let’s talk about that feeling when everything on your list seems important—like, “If I don’t do this right now, my business might stall out.” Whether you’re in the middle of a big project or just trying to keep up with the day-to-day, it’s easy to feel pulled in a million different directions. Between managing clients, building your brand, keeping your website updated, and nurturing your leads—it can feel like every single thing deserves top billing. I get it because I’ve been there, too. As a creative and entrepreneur, my brain is always buzzing with ideas—new offers, marketing strategies, design tweaks, website upgrades. Sometimes it’s an endless stream of inspiration that makes me want to dive in headfirst to all the new things—like launching that dream product, creating a brand-new design package, or giving my website a complete makeover. But then there are days when it’s not just ideas that are overwhelming—it’s the to-do list that never seems to end. The client emails, the project updates, the invoices, the little admin tasks that multiply faster than your kid’s laundry pile. That’s when everything starts to feel urgent, and it’s tough to figure out what deserves your focus first. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Where should I start?” or “How do I decide what’s actually worth my time right now?”—this post is for you. I’m sharing my process for tackling both scenarios: when you’re overflowing with ideas you can’t wait to bring to life, and when you’re drowning in tasks that all seem equally important. So let’s dive in and figure out how to cut through the noise—so your energy, time, and resources go to the things that truly matter (like finally getting that website redesign done so your brand shines as bright as your ideas).
