Do you feel overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list?
Or do you feel like every task is screaming for your attention
and leaves no room for what truly matters?
Well, you're not alone, and today's episode is here to help.
You're listening to the Mind Over Finger podcast,
and this is episode 210.
Welcome to the Mind Over Finger podcast,
where we dive into the world of mindful music making, peak performance, and crafting a purpose-driven
life and career. I'm your host, violinist, certified performance and life coach for
musicians, and your guide to unlocking your full potential, Dr. René-Paul Gaultier.
Today, we're going to talk about conquering overwhelmed. And as we're finishing the year,
as we're getting ready for a new year. This is a really great framework that I'm going to
introduce today to help you tackle this overwhelm and really organize things in the way that allows
you to spend time on the things that truly matter to you. We're going to rethink prioritization for
you and how to schedule things. So inside of my group coaching program, the Music Mastery Experience,
we've been talking about planning for 2025, but we also want to finish the year strong. And we want
to create a life for ourselves that is very intentional, that feels aligned, and that is
definitely feeling less overwhelmed, more in control. December is a busy season. There's a
lot of demands on us musicians. There's a lot of concerts, a lot of gigs, performances for our
students, tons of rehearsals. We have holiday events, studio commitments. Our children are
fully booked with all sorts of activities at school, it's easy to feel overwhelmed in this
month of December and to feel a lack of focus on the things that truly matter. But that's also not
only for December. This is a cycle that might come back for you as the year progresses. So today,
I'm going to introduce you to a really beautiful framework that you might have heard of before.
is the Eisenhower matrix. And if you've heard about it before, it's very popular. As I've said,
I hope that this can be a good reminder of how to use it in your life. And I'm going to have
lots of examples for you. So hopefully there's some inspiration for you there. And if you don't
know what the Eisenhower matrix, well, you're in for a treat because this could really change
things for you. It's a simple and powerful framework that's going to allow you to reclaim
your time. It can be really life-changing for people who've never really used it before.
When you have busy schedules, a lot of performance preparation, a lot of performance repertoire to
handle, maybe you have a full teaching load, families, and so much more going on.
this is not about doing more but this is about doing the things that matter better and as I said
it's about prioritization and reclaiming focus so let's look at this matrix that could perhaps
transform the way you approach your career and your life let's dive in why do we feel overwhelmed
Well, there's a lot of reasons, but one of the main reasons we feel overwhelmed is that we give
each task on our to-do list the same importance. They all feel equally urgent to us. So we have
these endless to-do lists that create a lot of mental clutter and a lot of decision fatigue
in our lives. So what we want to do is to start spending time on the things that matter. For
example, for us musicians, sometimes we end up spending endless hours answering non-urgent emails.
Maybe there's a lot of little things to attend to with scheduling lessons and preparing for an
audition and concert. How does it work to organize all of this? This is what we're going to talk
about today. This matrix, the Eisenhower matrix, is going to help you make some decisions on how
to organize all of this. It's going to help you organize and categorize the tasks that you have
based on urgency and importance. It was created by the 34th president, President Eisenhower,
and this is what he used to emphasize the tasks that were really important in his busy schedule.
One of the quotes that is attributed to him is that what is important is seldom urgent and what
is urgent is seldom important. So that framework helps us focus on what truly matters. Let's look
at the framework. There are four categories and the first one is this high urgency, high importance
quadrant. This is the thing that we have to do right now. This is perhaps a little crisis,
something that has a fast approaching deadline. So high urgency, high importance. It needs
immediate attention and it can have a significant impact. Those are the big deadlines, the big
obligations and the things that only you can do. Let me give you some examples.
Learning repertoire for next week or staying on top of solo performances that you have coming up.
Maybe there are some kids events that are happening in the next few days. Maybe you need to learn a
challenging passage for a rehearsal tomorrow. Maybe if you teach online, maybe there's a really
important technical issue with your platform that you need to fix. Maybe you need an urgent repair
on your instrument. Maybe you have a student that needs emergency support. So these things are
important. They are urgent, and only you can do it. This is the first quadrant. And because the
goal of this matrix is to help us plan our lives in the way where we reduce those crises, this
urgency. This is where we should spend about five percent of our time. But this is the first
quadrant, high urgency, high importance. And I'm going to show you later how to all put that
together. The second quadrant, and if you put Eisenhower matrix through Google, you can see some
really well illustrated examples of this matrix. And I highly recommend that you do that. It really
helps paint the picture of what that looks like. Let's look at that second quadrant.
This is your low urgency but high importance quadrant. This is where you schedule. This is
where your productivity is born and this is where you should spend about 70% of your time. These are
the things that matter long terms. They don't necessarily need to be done right now but there
are things that change our lives, things that we probably need to do every day. This is where
your values live. They live in this quadrant. This is your zone of genius. This is the area where you
build the life that you want. This is the area of preparation and prevention. This is where you
become who you want to become. This is where you attend to your health. This is where you take care
of your relationships. So this is the planning scheduling quadrant. Let me give you some
examples. For example, for me, time with my family is something that I want to plan. I want to make
sure there is time for this. Another example is taking care of my productivity by making sure
my body is fit. So getting massages, getting physical therapy if necessary, getting enough
exercises. This is the quadrant where I plan for the mind over finger content. This is where I
schedule the practicing that I need to stay top shape. So this is where you make the time to work
on the fundamentals you need to maintain peak form in any area of your life. Maybe you're preparing
for an audition. Maybe you need to plan your studio recital for next month. You need to perhaps
organize your billing system. So these are important things that are not urgent. The deadline
is not fast approaching, but this is something that you want to keep time for. A very simple
example would be brushing your teeth. It's rarely urgent in most cases, but this is something that
if you brush your teeth regularly and you build this hygiene, you end up with having really good
teeth, good health. So keep that in mind as you think about what your values are, how you see
yourself, the things that truly matter in your life. They all live in quadrant two and these
are the things that you plan for. You put them in your schedule. You're very intentional about
getting them done. Let's look at quadrant three. This is the high urgency but low importance.
This is the area where you can start to delegate because those things that need to be done don't
require your specific expertise. I'm going to give you some example of that. There are so many. And
again, I'm going to have a lot of examples throughout the episode. So it's December.
I want some Christmas decoration, but I'm not the only person who knows how to do this. And
thankfully, my son who's now 14 can help. So a few days ago, he helped his dad get out some
Christmas decorations and put them around the yard while I was able to go to work or practice
or maybe relax on Sunday morning instead of putting that out before I had to go for a full
day of performances. So you see, I don't need to be out there putting these Christmas decorations.
I can delegate that. For example, you could outsource your studio invoicing. If you have a
studio, you could ask your students to set up the chairs for your recital. Do you need help around
the house? Could you order some food? Could you hire some help to clean the house? Could you
delegate and enlist family members to help you with those things? So this area, again, high urgency,
low importance. These are things that need to get done and are perhaps on the deadline but they
don't require you. They don't require your expertise and they can be delegated. So this is
the delegation quadrant and you should spend no more than 15 percent of your time on these type
of tasks. And finally, the last quadrant is the low urgency, low importance quadrant. This is
where you can delete tasks. This is the area where maybe you're wasting time and you should
not spend more than 5% of your time in this area. Those are the tasks or the things that don't move
the needle and can be eliminated. I'm going to give you some examples. And keep in mind as I
give you these examples that all things are relative. Everyone is different and everyone
has different priorities. And also in different seasons of life, we have different priorities.
So for example, this December is very busy. So I've decided to not bake for my book club
and not participate in the cookie exchange at work, which I love. I usually love doing those
things. But this time, this season of life is just not something that I have time for.
And therefore, I have decided to not bake for these events. Another example is
obsessing over finding the perfect font for your website. You need to have the information up
there, that's important. Having the perfect font is not. If you have time and you feel like it and
it brings you great joy, by all means do it. But when you're short on time, this is the type of
task that you can delete. How about responding to non-essential social media DMs? That happens a lot
and we want to stay connected. But when we are in, again, a period of life where we need
to preserve our energy and we make sure that our mental space is allocated to the things that truly
matter, this is an area where maybe we can put things on pause for a little bit. Or maybe you
have some redundant meetings where you're not really required to be there. How about canceling
those? Or how about not going? Another example is this is the time of year where maybe you're asked
to bake cupcakes for kids' parties. How about buying them this time? How about skipping that
PTO meeting? Or a bigger one, how about saying no to one gig that shows up but that maybe does
not fit in your schedule. So this is an area, again, where depending on where your values reside
in the season of life you're in, how busy you are, these are the tasks that you might decide
to delete for now. Nothing's wrong with them. It's just a matter of prioritization and what
is the most important for you right now. How does that look to put this in practice? Let's look at
this for a second. Here's the first thing you want to do. First, you want to do a brain dump.
So write down every task or responsibility you can think of on a piece of paper. Then step two,
I want you to categorize ruthlessly all of these tasks in each of the four quadrant.
And then finally, commit to follow through on the framework. So you have your first quadrant of doing now. That's high urgency. You do it now, you complete it immediately. Our second quadrant, you schedule. So put all of these things in your calendar.
Our third quadrant, you delegate. What are the tasks that someone else could do? So find someone
else to handle it. And then finally, our fourth quadrant, your delete quadrant, just cross it off
your list. Let's look at a little bit more examples. Let's say you're preparing for an
important audition. Something is coming up very soon. In your first quadrant, in your do-now
quadrant, practicing the audition pieces would definitely belong in this quadrant.
In our schedule quadrant, you could be researching the orchestra's history and the repertoire.
That is also important and helpful. You could listen to the music. You continue to practice.
you set up different things in your performance preparation so you plan for these things
our third quadrant the delegate quadrant so as you're preparing for this important audition
what are the things that need to get done right so still urgency but not important what are the
things that need to get done but that could be done by someone else could you delegate some chores
could you order out instead of cooking where can you save some time what are the tasks that someone
else in your life can do and then finally that last delete quadrant how about not working on
this website as you're preparing for the audition another example let's say you're managing a private
studio. In your first quadrant, you might want to do things like addressing a billing issue for a
parent that got in touch with you. So this high urgency. In your schedule quadrant, this is your
high importance quadrant. Maybe you need to spend time updating your studio policies for next
semester so all the families are clear on what's happening next. The delegate, maybe you can hire
a virtual assistant or a local assistant to help you handle the scheduling inquiries.
And then finally, in that delete quadrant, maybe you can forget about the idea of preparing a
beautiful, intricate recital program, but rather you decide to just have a simple printout.
And there you go. Save two hours right there.
let's look at another example and this I think everyone can relate to so let's say you're juggling
a lot of obligations and gigs and family responsibilities as a busy parent in your
first quadrant in your urgency quadrant you're due now maybe you need to finish learning the notes
for the performance this weekend, right?
Fast approaching deadline, got to get those notes learned.
But the things that you want to schedule,
the important things are your practice sessions.
You want to maybe plan for child care
for the rehearsal for this gig.
Maybe you want to plan family activities,
quality time with your children and spouse.
maybe you need to plan to attend their school concert these are the important things that you
want to save time for so that as time goes you have fewer and fewer elements in this first
quadrant this crisis quadrant in your third quadrant the delegate quadrant how about you
ask for your partner to pick up the kids from school or grab some chores they don't usually do
to help you maintain your sanity until those gigs are over? How about ordering groceries instead of
going yourself? Or maybe if you have older kids, get them involved in cleaning up and tidying up
the house? Finally, what are the things that you can delete and let go of? So how about over
practicing that piece that you already know? How about, as I've shared earlier, maybe you buy
some baked treats for your child's class party or skip that PTO meeting. So what are the activities
that you can cancel or delete from your to-do list. And now I want to talk about the pitfalls
because there are a few things in stumbling blocks that are going to show up as we're trying
to go through this matrix, this way of organizing things. Let's talk about them.
The biggest pitfall, in my opinion, is our struggle to delete.
This often comes from a perfectionist tendency and this thinking that everything matters equally,
that we need to be able to handle everything equally well at all times.
We have a hard time saying no to things and deleting things.
But I want to tell you that it's okay to delete. It's not laziness. Rather, think of it as being
intentional in the way you live your life. You decide what matters to you and those are the
things that you spend your energy on. Your mental energy, your emotional energy, your physical
energy. And when you delete those tasks that don't matter, you reclaim that energy. You have time for
your family, you have time for your career, and you have time for your personal growth and attending
to your well-being. You want to say yes to the things that are meaningful because when you say
yes to something that is unimportant, you're saying no to something that could be meaningful
for you. Keep that in mind. So you want to let go of these low impact, low urgency tasks and
prioritize what makes the biggest difference in your life. And think about it this way.
Deleting a task, canceling a task, letting go of a task is a strategy. So we want to acknowledge
three things. Not everything deserves your attention. Number two, you can't do it all
and that's okay. And number three, your time is valuable and finite.
So deleting, letting go of a task is not giving up. You're letting go of what doesn't deserve
your time what doesn't serve your bigger goals so you can focus on what does
so how do we delete with confidence and i have a great episode on making decisions that
that's episode 208 you can go and listen to that if you want it's going to help you but here are
some strategies to help you start deleting some tasks with confidence. You're going to ask yourself
three questions. Question number one, does this task truly matter to my long-term goals?
Does this task truly matter to my long-term goals? Question number two, will anyone's life or
well-being suffer if I don't do it? Will anyone's life or well-being suffer if I don't do it?
And then number three, am I holding on to this out of guilt or perfectionism?
So if you're saying no to the first two, or you're saying yes to that last one, it's time
to delete? Let me repeat those questions again. Number one, does this task truly matter to my
long-term goals? Will anyone's life or well-being suffer if I don't do it? And number three, am I
holding on to this out of guilt or perfectionism? Keep that in mind as you're trying to decide what
tasks to delete and then finally don't forget that deleting frees you to thrive so skip the
hours that you're going to spend perfecting a flyer design and use that to prepare for an audition
or for example maybe say no to a non-essential coffee chat and go get a therapeutic massage or
go to that PT session to attend to that shoulder injury. The leading tasks is going to be a huge
win for your focus, your productivity, your peace of mind, and your well-being.
So be very strategic about it and rather liberal about it as well, I would say.
the pitfall number two is also a big one is having a scarcity mentality about costs about what it's
costing us to do or not do something and here's the first thing i want to say about this there's
always a cost there's a cost to everything it might be a financial cost an emotional cost
a mental cost or an energy cost but there's going to be a cost for everything and it's up to decide
it's up to you to decide how you want to spend your energy your emotions your mental strength
so when you delegate or you delete a task that might involve a financial expense
and ask yourself is the expense worth it emotionally intellectually and energetically
i'm going to give you some examples if you're like me you like to have clean concert clothes
and what i like to do regularly is take all of my concert clothes give them a wash let them air dry
and then steam everything. It's very nice. It's free, but it is time consuming. So if you're in
a particularly busy period of time, it might be worth it for you to send all of that to the dry
cleaners. Now it's expensive, yes, but what are the things that you could do with that time that
you saved? Could you take on another gig? Could you rest, especially if you're feeling overwhelmed,
making room for rest making room for self-care might be a really great way of spending your money
another example is kind of similar is how about hiring help with the household chores
like a cleaning service for example
it's expensive and it might save you time save you energy save your mental strength
and allow you to show up strong as a musician, as a parent, as a community member?
Would that be worth it for you?
What would it be worth for you to show up strong, show up ready, show up positively
because you have time to be aligned?
Think about that.
How about ordering takeout to save time and energy?
Now, yes, it may be not as healthy as homemade food, but when you're facing a situation where time becomes your ally, maybe the expense is worth it temporarily.
So consider the value of time, energy and peace of mind gained versus the financial cost.
now the biggest delete of all is going to be saying no to gigs and that's when I hear about
a lot from clients and it's very challenging to say no we have this fear of missing out on
opportunities we have worry about a financial loss and sometimes we feel that if we say no
to a gig that's going to close a door that will never open later. I understand. I get it. Yes.
But I want you to think about the other costs that saying yes to this mean. And remember,
saying yes to something means you're saying no to something else. Saying yes to everything can
really drain your energy and prevent you to focus on meaningful projects. So if your schedule is
already booked, if you're already overwhelmed, if you feel like you already have a hard time
handling everything that's on your schedule, what is the cost of adding one more thing?
Now, if you're really excited about it and you really want it and it's fun and the money is great
and you feel capable of handling it, by all means, go for it. But I so often see people
unable to say no, and they get themselves sick over this inability to say no.
So I want you to think about this. So when you're trying to evaluate an opportunity or a gig that's
coming your way, a project, a concert offer, ask yourself these questions. Three questions. Again,
I like my three questions. How much energy will this task or gig cost me? Remember there's a cost
for everything. Question number two, do I genuinely want to do it? And then question number three,
does it align with my ultimate goals and bigger life vision? So again, how much energy will this
task or gig cost me? Are you going to lose sleep over it? Is this going to jeopardize the work that
you're going to put in other work? How about the time it's going to take away from your family,
from you resting? Do you genuinely want to do it? If you want to do it, the energy you're going to
have will be different. You'll have this motivation of desire. If you don't really want to do it,
it's going to feel like a drag and that might negatively impact everything else you're trying
to tackle? And then finally, does it align with your ultimate goals in bigger life vision?
Another example, you're preparing for a big concert or a big audition and a gig shows up.
Does the time you're going to spend on this gig, time that you're going to spend away from
preparing for the audition or that big performance? Is that in alignment with the ultimate goal
and the bigger life vision? So always keep these things in consideration. So is this a quick cash
versus long-term purpose? Will this task or gig provide short-term financial benefit but sabotage
more important long-term projects? Or does it serve a larger purpose in the line with your
bigger goals. That happens at times where we want to squeeze that in because learning that specific
piece or working with these specific people, playing in this one hall with that group fits
the vision that we have for our future. Then it's different. But consider all of this. And I'm not
saying you have to say no to gigs, but I want you to become very intentional to what you say yes to.
And finally, make sure that the actions you take align with your bigger life.
So whatever you say yes to, whatever you end up deleting or delegating, do they drain your energy and do they align with your bigger goals?
So make sure you spend time, money and energy where it creates the most value for your career
and your personal fulfillment.
Here's another pitfall.
When you micromanage the delegated tasks, when you delegate a task, if you spend a lot
of mental energy micromanaging it, you're going to get the same effect as if you'd done
it yourself.
So trust the person you delegated the task to and focus on your high impact work.
Stay in your zone of genius and let other people operate in theirs.
And finally, the pitfall number four is to overload the do now category.
So be honest about what is truly urgent and important.
And don't overload that very first category of urgent and important.
And I wanted to bring you some examples from my clients.
I work with a freelance musician who has a really, really busy month.
She's a freelance violinist.
She has multi-projects in December.
She has performances, private students, administrative work, and a lot of lessons to schedule, all of that.
So she feels overwhelmed and unsure of where to focus her limited time and energy.
So we are using the matrix and I wanted to show you how she's using it to maximize her
time and energy, not only in this busy month of December, but as she's contemplating all
of the things that she wants to tackle in the coming year.
So of course, first we have her write down all of her current tasks and sort them into
the four quadrants.
In her do now category, her high urgency, high importance quadrant, she decided that she would finalize the music program for her students' concerts and the rehearsals are starting soon.
So that is urgent and very important.
And she decided that in that category, submitting a recording for a competition that's due very soon.
In her second quadrant, her schedule quadrant, which is our again low urgency but high importance, she plans next semester's schedule for her students and she wants to make sure she schedules time to practice the repertoire for a solo recital that she has in January.
in her delegation quadrant her high urgency but low importance she decided to ask one of her
students to help her with some administrative work and she's going to help with handling some
emails that she's got responding to parents and also answering to some gig requests and she's
asked her partner to also help with some chores around the house now in the delete a low
urgency low importance area she gave up on the idea of tweaking her website for now
and she was also wanting to sort through all of her digital music because she wanted to feel more
organized but she realized that this was kind of a just because desire and decided to postpone
organizing her digital library until it's a better time so the outcome that this will give her is by
ruthlessly sorting through her tasks. That clears up the mental clutter. It helps us. It helps her
stay focused on what's critical and it's going to create space for the meaningful work she wants to
do, like preparing for her recital and also enjoying the holidays, right? Here's another
example. So I have a college professor that's trying to balance teaching and performing.
he's got a really active performing career he's been invited to perform with a high
profile quartet and he's great he has a grading deadline and is preparing for a master class
and he feels torn between the responsibilities he has and the opportunities in front of him
so here's how we're using the framework so our high urgency high importance quadrant our do now
quadrant. He has to grade the final exams for his students. Yes, because the deadline is next week.
And then he has to prepare and send rehearsal notes to the quartet in preparation for the
rehearsals and the performances that are coming up. A low urgency, high importance quadrant,
our schedule. Remember, this is high important. These are the things that create big change over
time. So he's going to be preparing the material for the upcoming master class in two weeks. So he
is putting that in his schedule and he's drafting a proposal for a summer music festival residency.
This also goes in the schedule. Now, the delegating quadrant, the high urgency but low importance.
Again, he is deciding to use his teaching assistant to send reminders to students about deadlines.
this is something that has to get done but he doesn't have to do it so he's delegating that
and also he's asked the quartets manager to handle the writing for social media copy instead of doing
it himself so you see how that works that allows him to take back control of your time and this is
what this framework is going to help you do let's recap the framework again so the first quadrant
is the do now. What is urgent and important? The second quadrant is your schedule quadrant. What
is important but not urgent? This is where your values live. The third quadrant is your delegation
quadrant. So these are the things that are urgent. They need to get done, but not necessarily by you.
They could be done by someone else. So they're urgent but not important to you. And then your
delete quadrant. Those are neither urgent nor important tasks. They can be done later or never.
So the key takeaway is that this isn't about doing more. It's about doing what truly matters
to you with focus and intention. And when you prioritize this way, when you prioritize
effectively, you make space for the things that move your life and career forward. So here's my
actionable challenge for you. I want you to try it today. I want you to write down your current
task list. Everything that comes to mind, put it down on paper. Then I want you to use this
Eisenhower matrix to categorize each item. And I'm going to repeat those quadrants again.
Urgent and important. Those are the things that you do now. Important but not urgent. Those are
the things you schedule. These are the things that help you live a healthy, fulfilling life.
Your health, your relationships, you being in a good shape to be able to execute all of the
things you want. Then your urgent but not important quadrants. These are the things that you're going
to delegate. And finally, the things that are neither urgent nor important. And these are the
things that you will ruthlessly delete. So you write down your current task list. You use the
matrix to categorize each item. And then you're going to take one do now action today. You're
going to schedule one task. You're going to delegate one task and you're going to delete
one item from your list. So again, you're going to take one do now action and you're going to do it
today. You're going to schedule one task. You're going to delegate something and you're going to
delete one item. And in closing, I want you to stop treating everything as a priority. You want
to make room for what truly matters. You've heard me say this many times today, but it cannot be
said enough. And I want you to start doing that today by taking one more step toward clarity and
purpose. I hope all of this is really helpful for you. Please let me know how it works, how this
Eisenhower matrix works for you, if it's helpful. And if you feel like you need some support in
putting all of this together. If you feel like you cannot handle the overwhelm that you're experiencing
and you need some support through this, please don't hesitate to book a call. I'll be happy to
chat with you and together we're going to look at what is happening in your life, how we can
prioritize things better for you and you're going to walk away with clarity and a blueprint on how
to get moving forward. So this is what I have for you today. I hope you have a lot of fun
with this matrix. I send you all the best. And I say à bientôt.
