Listen as Lani shares:

When you are a mom you are responsible for everything!

  • Staying alive
  • Getting the kids fed
  • The house
  • The schedule
  • The transportation
  • The homework
  • The feedings
  • The medicine
  • Everything that has to do with the house

 

When you are an entrepreneur you are always thinking about

  • What you should do
  • 10 Steps forward
  • 10 steps back
  • What worked
  • What didn’t
  • What you have to do today
  • What do you have to do tomorrow
  • What about your clients
  • The marketing

 

If you are feeling tired and the mental load weight

  • You are not alone
  • It is normal to feel that

 

What needs to stop being normalized is

  • The need to continue to carry the mental load

 

You need to relive that mental load

The mental load is exhausting

Using the system Trello will

Learn your priorities

  • Assign times and days for tasks
  • Trust your brain to come back to tasks that are not assigned for that day
  • Don’t look at everything all at once
  • Look at the things you need to do today
    • Focus on that
    • Relieve yourself on focusing on other tasks

 

When you are carrying around a long to-do list every day

  • You’re thinking about them every single day
    • So you start to believe that you actually did some of the work
  • Are you actually taking action on those thoughts
    • Or are you just thinking about it so much but not actually doing anything?

 

We have to start incorporating action

  • It’s better for you to do two things
    • Than just think about 20
  • You have to have a mindset shift
  • Those actions are going to start eliminating those things from the list

 

Simplify your life

  • You need
    • Simple strategies
    • Simple ways of doing things
    • To not make it complicated
    • To create simple and repeatable actions
      • This will get things off your to-do list
      • Take things off your plate
      • It will help you to take action
  • Simplify is so powerful
    • It’s the most powerful thing I can do in my business
    • It makes everything
      • Easy
      • Doable
      • Repeatable

 

What can you simplify in your life?

  • What are you making complicated that does not have to be?
  • How can you simplify that into smaller things?

 

Here’s your challenge to relieve your mental load

  • Retrain your brain to trust you
    • So that when you put something down in your system that your going to do it
  • Don’t think about your to-do list and all the things it’s going to take to do it
    • Instead do it
    • Track the data
    • Make sure you are taking action
  • Simplify
    • How can you take that big thing and turn it into smaller things
      • Break the task down
        • To not be so overwhelmed
        • To actually make progress

Ask yourself
