 Do you feel “busy all day” but barely scratch your to-do list? In this episode of Your Priority Centered Life, I share why digital task apps can quietly inflate your day and how to right-size your daily plan using a simple paper-first approach. We’ll unpack the “small freezer” analogy to show why your capacity is limited (and why that’s a good thing), how to schedule your non-negotiables first, and what belongs on today’s list versus “waiting in the wings.” You’ll also learn how to build buffer time so one surprise doesn’t torpedo your day, run a quick mini-audit of your messages and interruptions, and use boundary scripts that actually stick. If your to-do list feels endless and unsatisfying, this conversation will help you reclaim control and finally finish what matters.
