How to Prevent Overwhelm and Build Momentum - Planisode 5

Welcome back to The Art of Value Whispering and to Planisode 6 — your daily planning companion designed to help you step into the new year with clarity, confidence and a grounded strategy that truly supports you.

By now, you’ve set meaningful goals, reflected on your lessons, created priorities and begun shaping your plans.
But even with the best intentions, there’s one thing that can stop all progress in its tracks:

Overwhelm.

In today’s Planisode, we look at why overwhelm shows up, how it derails us and — most importantly — the simple ways you can prevent it so you stay focused, calm and in motion.

You’ll learn:

• Why overwhelm is rarely about what’s happening now, but what you fear might happen next.

• The first thing to do the moment you feel yourself spiralling.

• How to build daily habits that make decision-making easier and remove pressure.

• A simple question that instantly reduces complexity in your business.

• How progress (not perfection) becomes your greatest source of momentum.

• Time management techniques that help you stay on track — even when the task feels big.

• Why taking a break is often the smartest next step, not a sign of failure.

These are the same tools I use myself and share with my clients. They help you stay connected to what matters most and move toward your goals in a way that feels grounded, sustainable and aligned.
