139: Break Free From Your To-Do List By Doing This ONE Thing As An Anxious, Overwhelmed Christian Woman!

Hey, sister-friend! Can I be honest with you?
To-do lists are just not optimal. That list often triggers anxiety or leads you into moments of overwhelm. I’ve been there and I do not want to live like that. I know you don’t either!!
If you really want to be productive and have all your ducks in a row (and keep your marbles), then you actually need to do something different. I’m sharing the one thing you need to do today!
Are you ready? Let’s do it!
Featured Review:Tools! "I am not great at time management. I can’t stand rigid routines, but being a business-owning homeschooling mom of 6 has forced me to at least use a planner to keep my life together. I loved the episode about 3 tools, and can’t wait to set aside time to listen to the entire workshop replay and uplevel my planning game! Thanks, Erika!" - stacey@radiantlydressed -
