E338. Overwhelmed? Do these 5 things

Ever look at your to-do list and think, 'Cool, I'll just clone myself and maybe then I'll get it all done'? Yeah. Same. But here's the truth — overwhelm isn't a sign you're doing too little. It's a sign you're doing too much of the wrong stuff. Let's fix that. Feeling buried under your to-do list? You're not alone — but you don't have to live there. In this high-impact episode, April breaks down five simple, tactical moves that shift you from chaos to clarity. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, or juggling it all, this episode will help you reclaim control, eliminate noise, and focus on what actually matters. Because you don't need more time — you need fewer distractions disguised as priorities. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ The 4-Step PivotMe Process Ask: Does this need to be done? Does it need to be done by me? If not, delegate, delay, or delete. Then check for OPP (Other People's Priorities), pick your one move that moves the needle, and execute with focus. 2️⃣ The Eisenhower Matrix Separate urgent from important: Urgent + important → Do now. Important + not urgent → Schedule. Urgent + not important → Delegate. Neither → Delete. 3️⃣ The 10X Filter Ask: "If I were operating at my 10X goal, would I be doing this?" Your next level requires next-level decisions. 4️⃣ The Pivot Pause Step away, breathe, and ask, "What actually needs to happen next?" Stillness creates clarity. 5️⃣ Time Blocking with Themes Batch your focus. Example: Monday: Strategy Tuesday: Clients Wednesday: Content Thursday: Networking Friday: Financials Context-switching drains energy — batching restores it. Bonus: Write your Stop-Doing List. Subtraction equals freedom.  Quotes "Not every fire deserves your water." "You win the day by finishing, not by juggling." "You can't 10X your life doing the same things you did at 2X." "Stillness creates clarity — not chaos."  Action Steps ✅ Run your to-do list through the 4-Step PivotMe Filter. ✅ Create your own Eisenhower Matrix and start deleting what doesn't matter. ✅ Ask the 10X question before saying yes. ✅ Schedule your Pivot Pause — don't wait for burnout to do it. ✅ Build a Time-Blocked Week that aligns with your future self.
