I used to start every morning overwhelmed. Open Trello - 47 cards across 6 boards. Open Gmail - 32 unread. Open Calendar - back-to-back meetings. Open Slack - notifications everywhere. By the time I figured out my priorities, I was already stressed and behind.
Now I have a simple routine while making breakfast. I don't touch my laptop. I send a few voice messages:
"What's on my calendar today?" - I see my meetings.
"Give me a summary of what's due today across all boards." - My priorities, listed.
"Any urgent emails I need to handle?" - Just the important stuff, summarized.
5 minutes. Complete picture of my day. No app switching. No doom scrolling through notifications.
If something needs to change: "Move the design review to tomorrow, update the card." Done while eating toast.
Before bed: "What's due tomorrow?" I sleep better knowing there won't be surprises.
My team thinks I'm incredibly organized. The truth? I just ask the right questions at the right time. No training needed - if you can talk, you can do this.
