If you're an event planner, you've probably experienced the nagging feeling of forgetting something. Maybe it's a small detail about catering, a missed deadline for venue contracts, or even a brilliant idea for your event that popped into your head at 2 a.m.
With thousands of to-dos and ideas swirling around in your mind, it's no surprise that sleepless nights are part of the job for many planners. But it doesn't have to be this way.
The problem: mental overload equals stress
Event planning is a high-pressure profession where details make or break success. Without a system to capture and organise tasks and ideas, your brain becomes an overworked storage unit. Not only is this inefficient, but it also increases stress levels. Instead of focusing on creativity and execution, you end up lying awake at night, replaying your mental to-do list and worrying about what might slip through the cracks.
The solution: get your tasks out of your head
Frameworks like Getting Things Done (GTD) emphasise the importance of freeing your mind from the burden of remembering tasks. The idea is simple: tasks, ideas, and deadlines shouldn't live in your head, where they create stress and rob you of focus. Instead, they belong in a trusted system. A system that ensures you can pick them up later systematically, prioritising them effectively without worrying you'll forget.
