026: How to keep track of everything on your plate: A simple strategy to make to-do lists less overwhelming

From Stuck to Started: Executive Function & ADHD Coaching to Take Action

If your never-ending to-do list is stressing you out, it might be time for a new approach. Instead of constantly adding to a list that never seems to get shorter, what if you had a system that actually worked for your brain? In this episode, I’m sharing a fresh way to track everything you need to do—without the overwhelm.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ Why traditional to-do lists don’t always work (especially for ADHD brains)

✅ A new system to keep track of everything without feeling scattered

✅ How to work with your energy

✅ The power of visual organization and flexible planning

✅ Simple tweaks that make getting started on tasks easier
