Most accountants don't struggle with prioritization because we're disorganized.

We struggle because our brain doesn't like choosing.

When everything feels important, the brain reacts instead of deciding—and that's how you end the day busy but not satisfied.

In this week's Smarter in 5 Minutes, I'm sharing a simple 3-minute strategy that helps your brain settle down, choose one priority, and move forward with clarity.

Do you ever finish a long, busy day and think… "Wait, what did I even do today?"

Or maybe you've had stretches where you're working hard, checking things off, staying late—and still feeling behind?

If you're nodding your head, you're not alone. Almost every accountant I talk to says the same thing.

And that's exactly why I recorded this week's episode.

It's all about getting a clearer picture of where your time actually goes—not where your brain thinks it goes.

Because honestly, our brains are not great at keeping track. They guess, they fill in gaps, and they often make us feel like we're doing something wrong when… we're not.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You end the day wondering where your time went
  
• You feel like you're working nonstop but not getting ahead
  
• You're tired of feeling behind even when you're giving it your all
  
• You want a calmer, clearer sense of your day
  
• You're ready to stop guessing and start understanding your time

Give it a listen—I think this one is really going to click for you.

When you're overwhelmed, it's not because there's too much to do.

It's because your brain doesn't know what to focus on first.

That's when everything starts to feel urgent, heavy, and hard to untangle.

In this week's Smarter in 5 Minutes, I'm sharing the single best question to ask when overwhelm hits—and why that one question helps your brain settle down and move forward.
