If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending list of things to do—organizing your office, setting goals, juggling personal responsibilities, and trying to keep everything afloat—you’re not alone. Between mom’s doctor appointment, letting the cat out, or remembering to post on social media, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in tasks without actually getting the important things done. Exhaustion creeps in, and yet, somehow, the to-do list keeps growing.
Sound familiar? Keep reading because I’ve got three key tips to help you regain control and boost your productivity. Plus, we’ll dive even deeper into this during the Overachievers Club on October 7th at 12:00 PM Eastern—completely free!
Tip 1: You Don’t Have to Know It All to Start
A common mistake I see is people feeling the need to organize everything before they can start working. They build endless to-do lists or spreadsheets, thinking they have to get every single task written down before they can take action. The truth is, that mindset keeps you stuck in inertia.
The key is to start small. You don’t need the full picture to begin. We’ll dive more into the “how” on Monday, but for now, let this sink in: you don’t need to do it all at once. Start with just one step, however small.
Tip 2: Build from the Bottom of the Productivity Success Cake
Let’s talk about the Productivity Success Cake—a system that works every time. The bottom layer is Health, the middle is Environment, and the top layer is where Productivity and Celebration meet. Most people want to skip to the top layer and start with productivity, but it won’t work if the foundation isn’t there.
There are five key areas at the base of the cake that should each be at least a five out of 10 before you move forward. If you haven’t yet, take the productivity quiz on the unscatterme.com to see where you stand. Don’t skip the basics!
Tip 3: Don’t Go It Alone
When you’re overwhelmed, it can feel like you’re all on your own. But don’t fall into the trap of isolation. Whether it’s reaching out to friends, joining a mastermind group, or working with a coach, support systems are key to success. There’s no need to carry the burden solo. Lean into your community for advice, encouragement, and accountability.

Erin recently worked with me. When she began, she was actually resenting her clients, because she was so burned out. Through our work together, she slowly allowed herself to set boundaries that honored HER and now she is exercising, taking weekends off, and feeling much more free.
