    Stop Carrying It All: The Hidden Cause of Overwhelm at Work (It’s Not Your System)

    Stop Carrying It All: The Hidden Cause of Overwhelm at Work (It’s Not Your System) Feeling overwhelmed at work—even when you have a planner, to-do list, or organization system that should be working? In this episode of the Get Organized at Work podcast, Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt breaks down the real reason you feel scattered, distracted, or mentally exhausted at work—and it’s not your workload. It’s what you’re carrying. This episode dives into the concept of mental clutter and “excess baggage”—the hidden thoughts, worries, and unresolved decisions that quietly drain your focus, productivity, and clarity as a leader. You’ll learn how to: Identify the mental load that’s keeping you overwhelmed Separate what’s actually in your control vs. what’s not Turn overthinking into clear, actionable next steps Use your organization system (like OneNote, planners, or dashboards) to hold your work instead of your brain Reduce workplace stress and feel more calm, focused, and in control If you’ve ever felt like: “Why do I still feel overwhelmed even when I’m organized?” “My brain feels full all the time” “I know what to do, but I can’t focus” This episode will give you a simple, powerful reset. ✨ Because getting organized at work isn’t just about managing your tasks— it’s about managing your thinking. 💬 NEXT STEPS Want more support organizing your work and your mindset?

    Performance Review Season: How to Write a Self-Assessment and Set Better Goals for the Year Performance review season can feel stressful — but it’s also one of the best opportunities all year to reflect on your work, demonstrate your impact, and design better goals for the future. In this episode of Get Organized at Work, Kayla shares how to approach your self-assessment and annual goal setting in a thoughtful, strategic way.

Kayla also shares the annual self-assessment framework and goal-setting template she uses inside her Ultimate OneNote Hub, including how to review goals, track progress, and adjust throughout the year. If you're preparing for a performance review or planning goals for the upcoming year, this episode will help you approach the process with clarity and confidence. In this episode you'll learn: • Why self-assessments are essential for leadership growth • The key questions to ask during performance review season • How to evaluate your goals and demonstrate impact • Why effective goals behave like vectors instead of fixed targets • How to design SMART goals that can adapt throughout the year • How to use reflection to improve your leadership systems If you’d like to see how Kayla organizes her annual goals and performance reviews inside the Ultimate OneNote Hub, check out the YouTube tutorial linked here: 🎥Goal Setting for Professionals in OneNote | Annual Goals + Self-Assessment Template: https://youtu.be/wf7qvyBNK5o   Resources and next steps: 📓Get the OneNote Hub template I use to organize my work and leadership systems: https://kayla-fahey-ahrndt.myflodesk.com/ultimateonenotetemplate 🎥If you want to watch my OneNote Hub tutorial, it's here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Co83sC_qovw?si=nQtnaV3EQiqaQKas 🎥Watch the Active Projects List walkthrough in my OneNote Hub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEDJl9M7178 🎥Watch the Daily & Weekly Dashboard tutorial in my OneNote Hub: https://youtu.be/nWgmoIJBCPc 🎥 Watch the Leader Standard Work and Weekly Reflections Questions tutorial in my OneNote Hub: https://youtu.be/JQ4IFTDQV9Y 🎥Watch the Goal Setting for Professionals in OneNote | Annual Goals + Self-Assessment tutorial in my OneNote Hub: https://youtu.be/wf7qvyBNK5o 📱Join the Get Organized at Work community for deeper system training and support (plus my OneNote Hub and my 6 module Get Organized at Work Blueprint Course is included with your membership): https://leadership-unveiled-podcast-community.mn.co/landing?space_id=2638359   HOW TO SUPPORT KAYLA & GET ORGANIZED AT WORK PODCAST Leave me a rating or review wherever you listen to podcasts! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Apple Podcasts Show Link 🛒Shop My Amazon Storefront CONNECT WITH KAYLA: 📱Join My Podcast Community and App for Professionals 🗞Get My Newsletter Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaylafaheyahrndt/ Follow the podcast on Instagram: Get Organized At Work Podcast (@getorganizedatwork) • Instagram photos and videos Keywords performance review tips, self assessment for work, leadership self evaluation, SMART goals for professionals, performance review preparation, leadership goal setting, annual self assessment, goal tracking system, OneNote productivity system, professional development goals, leadership reflection

    Why Leaders Feel Overwhelmed — Leadership Lessons from the Olympics on Letting Go, Trusting Systems, and Avoiding Burnout

    Why Leaders Feel Overwhelmed — Leadership Lessons from the Olympics on Letting Go, Trusting Systems, and Avoiding Burnout Why do leaders feel overwhelmed — even when they’re capable, experienced, and highly motivated? In this episode, I share the hidden cause of overwhelm that most leadership advice never addresses — and what the Olympics can teach us about letting go, trusting your preparation, and building systems that reduce mental load. Watching Olympic athletes perform at their best, like Alysa Liu, you’ll notice something surprising: lightness. They aren’t gripping every movement or relying on memory. They trust their training, their systems, and their preparation. Leadership works the same way. When leaders rely on memory to track projects, responsibilities, and priorities, everything begins to feel heavy. But when you build trusted systems — like a structured project management system in Microsoft OneNote — you create clarity, reduce stress, and allow yourself to lead with confidence instead of pressure. In this episode, I share how I use my Active Projects List inside my OneNote Hub to organize leadership responsibilities, reduce overwhelm, and create lightness in my work as a healthcare leader, business owner, and educator. If you’re a healthcare leader, manager, or professional who wants to get organized at work, avoid burnout, and build leadership productivity systems that actually work, this episode will help you understand how structure creates freedom. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why leaders feel overwhelmed (and the hidden psychological cause) • How leadership stress is connected to mental load and memory overload • What Olympic athletes can teach us about trust, preparation, and performance • How to reduce overwhelm using structured productivity systems • How to organize projects using Microsoft OneNote • How systems help leaders avoid burnout and improve clarity   Resources and next steps: 📓Get the OneNote Hub template I use to organize my work and leadership systems: https://kayla-fahey-ahrndt.myflodesk.com/ultimateonenotetemplate 🎥If you want to watch my OneNote Hub tutorial, it's here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Co83sC_qovw?si=nQtnaV3EQiqaQKas 🎥Watch the Active Projects List walkthrough in my OneNote Hub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEDJl9M7178 📱Join the Get Organized at Work community for deeper system training and support (plus my OneNote Hub and my 6 module Get Organized at Work Blueprint Course is included with your membership: https://leadership-unveiled-podcast-community.mn.co/landing?space_id=2638359   HOW TO SUPPORT KAYLA & GET ORGANIZED AT WORK PODCAST Leave me a rating or review wherever you listen to podcasts! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Apple Podcasts Show Link 🛒Shop My Amazon Storefront CONNECT WITH KAYLA: 📱Join My Podcast Community and App for Professionals 🗞Get My Newsletter Follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaylafaheyahrndt/ Follow the podcast on Instagram: Get Organized At Work Podcast (@getorganizedatwork) • Instagram photos and videos
