This one’s for the CEO mama trying to hold it all together with nothing but a color-coded calendar and a prayer.
Let’s keep it real for a quick second….
You’re not lazy or bad at time management.
And you’re definitely not “just disorganized.”
You’re simply overwhelmed.
And the truth is, no amount of productivity hacks or $20 planners will fix a business (and a life) being run off pure adrenaline and mental chaos.
Now, let’s talk about what’s really going on….
If you’ve ever:
-
Had 14+ tabs open in your brain before 9 AM
-
Forgotten a client follow-up (again)
-
Written the same to-do list 3 days in a row but barely made a bit of progress
…it’s not because you don’t know what to do.
It’s because your mind is doing the job of your systems and it’s tapped the heck out.
When your business backend is messy, scattered, or straight-up nonexistent, your brain becomes the default operating system.
And the only thing it leads to is:
-
Decision fatigue
-
Anxiety and procrastination
-
Missed income opportunities
-
Guilt and burnout
Sound familiar? Stick with me….
Disorganization is usually not about discipline….it’s about unsustainable pressure.
When everything depends on you remembering, doing, planning, fixing, checking, sending, replying, managing, and mothering….your nervous system goes into survival mode.
And guess what doesn’t thrive in survival mode?
❌ Structure
❌ Strategy
❌ Creativity
❌ Peace
You need a system that carries some of the load, not just one that looks cute in Canva.
1. Clear the Static
You can’t organize chaos you haven’t named.
Take 5 minutes to brain dump everything….business, home, personal. No order. No filter.
Then pull out the top 3 items that actually need your attention.
And the rest? Either schedule it, delegate it, or drop it.
2. Anchor Your Rhythm
Choose one daily CEO rhythm you can commit to consistently.
Examples:
-
10-minute morning reset (email check, calendar skim, top 1 task)
-
A quick midday system check (Asana/Trello board scan)
-
An end-of-day wrap-up with 3 wins + 1 task for tomorrow
This builds momentum without requiring perfection…because it doesn’t exist.
3. Plug the Leaks
Audit your backend for where you’re dropping balls:
-
Are client tasks living in your head instead of your project board?
-
Is your inbox the place where leads go to die?
-
Are you still manually doing things you could automate?
Fix ONE leak at a time.
Need help? That’s what the CEO Systems Power Hour was made for.
4. Give Yourself Grace AND a Game Plan
You can’t bully yourself into clarity. The key is creating systems that support the real you….the executive, the mama, the visionary….not the idealized robot version of you.
The truth is, you don’t need to “get it together.”
You need to build a business that flows with you….not against you.
