“I Can’t Catch Up!": A Simple Reset When Your To-Do List Takes Over // 329

Have you ever looked at your planner and thought, “I’m behind in everything — I can’t keep up”?”
If you’re an overwhelmed mom with a to-do list that feels like it’s running your life, this little episode is for you. These past few weeks have been a blur here—ER visits, medical to-dos, homeschooling catch-up, family visiting, and a cold—and even with all of that, my planner is still covered in crossed-out tasks and undone lists. Maybe you’re living a week like that too.

In this gentle mini-reflection, I share the moment everything broke open for me—when I was moving nonstop yet still felt painfully behind—and the simple, faith-filled reset that helped me breathe again. You’ll hear why our brains get stuck in the “I can’t catch up” loop, the verse that steadied my heart, and a tiny shift that can bring clarity right in the middle of a very full life.

If your mental load is heavy and you feel behind in everything, this episode will give you a breath of grace and a practical next step without adding more to your plate.

XOXO,
Katie
