Motivation Is Overrated: Three Simple Strategies

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


Ever find yourself waiting for motivation to tackle that mountain of mess or organise your chaotic schedule? You're not alone and you might be focusing on the wrong strategy entirely.

As a someone who helps overwhelmed mums reclaim their homes and sanity, I've discovered something surprising: motivation is highly overrated. The most organised people don't rely on feeling motivated; they've built systems that work regardless of their emotional state. When my own health recently collapsed, leaving me utterly exhausted, I still managed the basics because my routines were so deeply ingrained they required almost no mental energy (it was only the physical energy that let me down).

In this eye-opening episode, I share three strategies that bypass the need for motivation entirely. You'll learn why starting with just two minutes (yes, that's all!) can transform your approach to organising, how automating daily tasks through consistent routines eliminates decision fatigue and why creating a "done list" instead of a to-do list can dramatically shift your perspective on productivity.

The truth is, waiting for motivation keeps you stuck in a cycle of overwhelm. What if you could break free by taking tiny, consistent actions that build momentum naturally? What if you could stop feeling guilty about being "lazy" and recognise the legitimate mental load that's weighing you down? These actionable strategies work even on your most exhausted days, because they focus on action rather than feeling.
