Did I write this episode as a pep talk to myself? Partially!!
Inspired by my own recent period of feeling a bit overwhelmed and all over the place, in today’s episode I share 10 tips for those feeling scattered or going through a similar high-demand period.

PPS: My call week is over!! I definitely was ready to be done this morning but handled it all reasonably well; I guess my own tips helped.

Was just telling my husband that I feel overwhelmed and scattered because everything feels equally important, so I’m giving a little effort in a lot of different directions and not really seeing the needle move anywhere. Can’t wait to listen!
This must be the time of year for it, because I’ve felt very overwhelmed lately as well. So this episode was well-timed! And- I thought about you yesterday, knowing you finished your call week : )
Also overwhelmed- thanks for the advice! Re-listened twice, first to get the gist then took notes. I plan my days the weekend prior, actually write them out in my accessory notebook, but when I LOOK at them the morning of, the day goes so much better.
Yes!! Super helpful, as have been your call week notes. I’ve been having a “call week” of my own (totally different job, and not competing here) and it is super helpful to see how our feelings are similar. Glad the time off at the end helped, too.
[…] This episode from Best Laid Plans – her tips on specific things to do when you’re feeling scattered. And Juliet Funt’s book, A Minute to Think, and the practical art of adding white space. […]
I think it does help when you point out that you yourself can feel scattered from time to time as well, and that you yourself will revisit the 10 tips in this episode from time to time as well, Dr. Sarah Hart-Unger.
This was so helpful, thanks for a great episode Sarah! I’m going on a family trip next week and will be away from work for 9 days – and have SO many deadlines before I go, plus life doesn’t stop. So definitely feeling overwhelmed and scattered right now. Willl be implementing these tips!
