This simple technique works better than a Remembrall...

Yes, I’m a Harry Potter fan from ages ago and I can’t help but reference it. I recall watching the movies and thinking a Remembrall could really come in handy some days. But one problem: it only reminded you that you forgot something, not what you forgot!

How do you keep from forgetting stuff? Especially when the mental load of caregiving and all the creative ideas fill your brain and keep you from functioning at your best? The solution is simpler than you might think. It's all about "capturing" the things that have your attention so you can tend to them when you are ready.

In my latest Positively Living® Podcast episode, I dive deep into this game-changing technique. Here’s a high-level summary:

  • By getting those thoughts out of your head and onto paper (or pixels), you free up mental space to focus, innovate, and be more present. No more feeling like you're constantly forgetting something important.
  • The benefits of capturing include reduced stress and overwhelm and the ability to truly engage in the task at hand, which results in increased productivity and focus.

If you're ready to take control of the mental clutter and do more of what matters, I encourage you to give capturing a try.

In the episode, I share my personal capturing process, which involves using a mix of the Notes app, a Rocketbook, and a bullet journal. The key is finding what works best for you and your lifestyle, but these ideas might inspire you. I welcome you to listen to get all the details and let me know which capturing system you plan to implement.

Until next time, keep taking those steps that help you focus on what matters most,

Warmly,

~Lisa

Reader As a productivity coach and caregiver, I've learned a secret to unlocking your full potential that is easy to overlook: addressing the unseen impacts of trauma. Too often, we approach getting things done as a one-size-fits-all solution, failing to recognize how our past experiences shape our present-day challenges. But what if the real game-changer is adopting a trauma-informed mindset? The reality is trauma manifests in countless ways, from difficulty concentrating to physical...

Reader As a fellow multi-passionate creative and caregiver, I know how overwhelming it can feel to tackle big events, projects, or life goals. The to-do lists, the deadlines, the constant juggling is…well...a LOT. The answer, as you likely already know, is planning. But this is where most of us get stuck. We sit down and start creating a todo list and the overwhelm kicks in. It’s not just about what needs to be done, it’s about when it needs to be done (as well as by whom). And that’s not...

Reader On Friday I had planned to message you about habits, but "life" happened, and my message had to wait. While I'm careful about the personal details I share as some of my family life is not my story to tell, I can tell you that walking my own compassionate productivity walk has helped me live a life fully present for those I love. Something happened with my youngest (who just turned 14) that required me to drop everything. If you've been there with loved ones, as a caregiver, with those...
