How to Prioritise When Everything Feels Important – A Soulful Approach to Clarity

Ever found yourself staring at your to-do list wondering where to even begin — because everything feels urgent?

Yep. Me too.

As a woman who wears many hats — purpose finder, creator, space holder, wife, business owner — I know that “just pick one and start” doesn’t always cut it. Because often, everything feels important. And when everything feels important, nothing gets your full energy.

The Truth About Prioritising

We’ve been taught that prioritising is about logic. About ticking boxes and being efficient. But what I’ve discovered is that true prioritisation is emotional and energetic.

It’s not just about getting things done — it’s about asking:

“What’s most aligned with who I want to become?”

When we don’t ask that question, we end up reacting instead of creating.

Clarity Begins with Presence

When you’re overwhelmed, the first thing to do isn’t to jump into action — it’s to pause.

Overwhelm thrives in chaos.

Clarity lives in stillness.

Here’s how I guide myself and my clients through prioritising with purpose:

Step 1: Breathe and Ground

Take a few deep breaths. Ground into your body. Come back to the moment. You can’t make aligned decisions when you’re spiralling.

Step 2: Brain Dump Everything

Get it all out — your tasks, worries, ideas, deadlines. Seeing everything on paper clears mental clutter.

Step 3: Feel Into Each One

Ask yourself:

  1. Does this energise or drain me?
  2. Is this urgent or just loud?
  3. Will this move me closer to the life I truly want?

Your intuition will tell you — but only if you’re listening.

Step 4: Pick One True Priority

Not three. Not five. One. What one thing will make everything else feel lighter or clearer? Start there.

Step 5: Release the Guilt

You are not behind. You are not failing. You are human. And the most productive thing you can do is work in alignment with your energy and values.

It’s Safe to Do Less

You don’t have to do it all today.

You don’t have to be everything for everyone.

You are allowed to choose what matters most — and let the rest wait.
