Session Description:
Calm In Chaos
Overwhelm is real. Sometimes, it feels like chaos. The pace of work is accelerating. AI helps you do more — which means you're responsible for more. Eight projects can turn into twelve overnight. With endless tasks, constant interruptions, and everything labeled “urgent,” overwhelm isn’t just stress — it’s your daily reality.
When your brain is juggling too many things at once, you can't even remember all your commitments, let alone prioritize them effectively.
THIS WILL BE REVOLUTIONARY IF YOU HAVE EVER: — Felt paralyzed by everything on your to-do list. — Been bombarded with notifications from all sides and lost track of what you were working on. — Been derailed by a “quick favor.”
IN THIS SESSION, YOU WILL: — Implement the 5-step Gladiator Calm in Chaos™ process on your own to-do list. — Master “importance” — because everything can’t be important. — Uncover bandwidth through strategies for delegation and deadline management.
