Start with a few key tasks that will set you up for success. Focus on Value: Identify tasks that provide the most value to your clients and bring in revenue. Don't be afraid to cut out unnecessary tasks. Take Action: Don't just think about it, do it! The act of taking action can often dissipate the overwhelming energy.   Action Steps The Brain Dump: Write down everything on your mind, no matter how small. Prioritize: Separate essential tasks from non-essential ones. Create Action Plans: Develop weekly and daily task lists.
