10 | How to Clear Mental Clutter and Take Aligned Action Using the Letter D

If your to-do list lives entirely in your head—and your head hurts from trying to remember everything—this episode is for you.
In this episode, I walk you through a simple but powerful productivity strategy I teach my high-performance coaching clients: a six-part framework using words that start with the letter D. You’ve probably heard of “Do, Ditch, or Delegate,” but I take it a step further—adding key steps like Dump, Discern, and Develop—so you can move from mental chaos to clear, aligned action.
You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Clear your mental clutter with a brain dump
✔️ Sort your tasks with purpose using six strategic D-words
✔️ Create a plan that aligns with your values, energy, and priorities
✔️ Move from reactive to proactive in how you manage time and focus
This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most with clarity and commitment.
