"Stop the mental chatter" with Maura Thomas

Author Maura Thomas gives some great advice on controlling the
mental chatter in our heads that creates stress and distraction.
Most people are not very good at keeping track of all of the
details. We write stuff down, but we write it down in various
places: a notebook, sticky notes, flagged in email, or on the dry
erase board in the office. We end up having all these bits of
information swirling around in our heads and scattered in a
million different places all at the same time. It’s a system that
feels productive, but it isn’t because when it’s time to retrieve
or access the specific information we’re in a frenzy trying to
figure out where to look.
