Overwhelm doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it looks like not starting.
A small table, two chairs, my laptop… and a corner that’s quietly becoming my reset space (See photo here).
After my Dad died, I didn’t think I’d find a place where I could work and relax (I used to live with him when I am in the UK). So this little set-up matters more than it “should”.
I’ve also had Marie Forleo’s phrase in my head lately: “Everything is figureoutable.”
To me, the power of it isn’t motivation. It’s permission.
Not: “I must solve everything today.”
But: “I can find the next step.”
You’re rarely short on capability, you’re usually short on clear runway.
Your 60–120 second Move (do it today):
- Pick the thing you’ve been avoiding.
- Identify the first annoying step (finding the file, opening the deck, working out what to say).
- Remove it now: open the doc, write the first line, paste the link where you’ll see it, set the notes out, leave it ready.
- Do 60 seconds only. Stop or continue by choice.
That’s how “figureoutable” becomes real:
not through willpower… through making the start easier.
If you’d like the full 8-week series, it’s on my Growth Hub (Courses).
Question: What’s one tiny step you could remove tonight so tomorrow’s work starts itself?
All the best
