Tired of seeing the same tasks repeated over and over? That was me too. That's when I introduced my Too Heavy To Hold sticky note. It got the tasks out of my mind and out of my way, while still being accounted for. I hope you enjoy!

About This Video

I made this video for anyone who keeps rewriting the same task over and over and still can’t get it out of their head. You know the ones—those lingering “I should…” tasks that aren’t urgent enough to do right now, but they keep siphoning off your energy anyway. I talk about why that repetition is so mentally draining (hello, unfinished-task brain), and how I use one tiny sticky note to get real relief without losing track of what matters. My fix is what I call the “Too Heavy To Hold” sticky note: a single place where I park the tasks that are secretly weighing me down. I walk you through how I identify those tasks, how I sort them using an Eisenhower Matrix-style filter (urgent/important), and what I do next so the note doesn’t become a guilt list. The whole point is gentle productivity—getting the mental clutter out of my mind and onto paper in a way that feels contained, accountable, and actually calming. By the end, you’ll see how this little system creates clarity fast, even if your schedule is full and your brain is tired.
