Name a smaller slate of meaningful projects
List every demand and then deliberately choose only a handful to pursue this season. Tag the rest as “Not Now” so you remember they weren’t forgotten—they’re simply deferred. Dotty’s filters help you keep the working list honest and finite.
Time-block for depth, not volume
Instead of packing your day to the brim, reserve generous blocks for what matters and leave visible white space elsewhere. Seeing open space in Dotty reinforces that rest and spontaneity have value too. If new opportunities arrive, compare them to the slate before adding anything.
Practice letting go
Use a weekly “Letting Go” journal page to capture tasks you consciously abandon. Note the trade-off and what opened because you said no. Over time the page becomes a gratitude list for everything you protected by not trying to do it all.
