Why I get more done when I’m overwhelmed
|
Has it ever happened to you that you had a completely free day, and you thought you’d have plenty of time to check off loads of tasks from your to-do list… only to end up spinning your wheels all day long? Yeah, me neither… 😬 I realised that on days when my schedule is packed, I get way more done. Whereas when my day is wide open, I spend forever deciding what to do, I get easily distracted… and in the end, nothing (or almost nothing) gets done. We actually need constraints. I know, it sounds weird. We tend to think that more freedom is the key to happiness. But in reality, it’s hard to be efficient when we’re just drifting along. For example, have you ever said, “I’ll work out this week when I have some time and energy”? How did that turn out...? We need structure. Not a rigid schedule planned down to the hour, but a clear framework to guide our actions and lift the burden of constant decision-making. Here’s what I suggest:
Of course, life is unpredictable. If your plan falls apart, don’t panic: adjust it, don’t blame yourself. The important thing is to keep moving in the right direction. So, what's the plan? Om, peace 🧡 Clem P.S.: Oh, and for the French speakers (or at least French understanders), I’ve (re)started sharing yoga videos on my YouTube channel! This week, I’m offering a little Lower Back Flexibility Flow, which helped one of my clients relieve her back pain :) |

If you've ever been mid-yoga session and heard a loud crack from your knee, a pop in your shoulder, or an unexpected sound from somewhere lower 🫢 you're in good company. Body noises during practice are incredibly common, and they're one of those things people quietly wonder about but rarely ask. So let's talk about it! The three types of sounds that can come from your joints (and when to worry) The first is cavitation: the same mechanism behind knuckle cracking (btw, it used to be so common...
I recently discovered a scientific field that is as little known to the general public as it is fascinating, and I really wanted to tell you about it today! The fascinating world of epigenetics So, as you probably already know, we are born with a unique set of genes (unless you have an identical twin or a clone). But these genes are a potential. They're a set of possibilities, some of which get expressed and some of which don't, depending largely on your environment and your lifestyle. Twins...
When someone gets a herniated/slipped disc diagnosis, the instinct is almost always to stop moving, be careful and wait for it to pass. I get it, the last thing we want is to make it worse. But it's also exactly what we shouldn't do. When the balance in a region of the spine is disrupted, the surrounding muscles compensate. They have to work harder, so they fatigue and become irritated. But also, your nervous system is on high alert. The whole area has become flagged as a threat. And if we...
