Ever feel so overwhelmed that you just… stop?
Sometimes when I’m overwhelmed, I freeze. Too many things to do, too many places to start, and I’m. Just. STUCK.
This weekend I found myself in that place. So today I picked one thing. One action that would get me moving again. For me, today, that meant setting up my office space.
My partner finally moved into his new office (lovingly nicknamed his “She Shed”), which meant it was time for me to make my space my own! But where to start? Between figuring out furniture, organization, and keeping up with actual work, I felt so overwhelmed.
So I decided to start small. I picked my favorite pictures (a collection from my time living in and visiting different places) and I hung a gallery wall.
Just that one thing, and something shifted. Getting that done got me moving again.
It’s something I talk about often in coaching. We stay blocked until we find the one small thing that creates momentum.
For me, it was a gallery wall. For my clients, it might be sending one email, scheduling one conversation, or even just naming what’s really holding them back.
