Organizing Your Life During Perimenopause: Digital Tools That Work
As a mother, business professional, and someone currently navigating perimenopause, I never thought I’d need to relearn how to stay organized. I’ve always been a planner, but when brain fog and difficulty concentrating crept in, my old systems of sticky notes and notepads started to fail me. Sound familiar?
Perimenopause can impact your focus and clarity, leaving you feeling overwhelmed. But there’s hope. In my journey, I discovered digital tools to bring order back into my life without creating more waste. From my phone to my tablet—and yes, sometimes even printed copies—these tools became my lifeline. I’ve channeled this experience into creating resources like the Homecare Digital Planner, Self-Care Planner, and Healthy Living Planner to help others stay on top of life’s demands with ease.
Why Perimenopause Challenges Your Organization
Hormonal changes during perimenopause can cause brain fog, forgetfulness, and reduced focus. Tasks you could once juggle effortlessly may suddenly feel insurmountable. Research has shown that estrogen fluctuations can impact cognitive function, including memory and attention.
But here’s the silver lining: you can take steps to combat this chaos with systems designed specifically for this phase of life.
How Digital Planning Tools Save the Day
Here’s why I shifted to digital planning:
- Accessibility: I can access my plans anytime, anywhere—whether I’m on my phone during school pickup or at my desk prepping for a business meeting.
- Flexibility: Digital planners let me erase, rearrange, and adapt without cluttering my workspace.
- Eco-Friendly: I wanted to cut back on paper waste while maintaining functionality.
Using digital planners allowed me to declutter both my mind and my physical environment, providing structure during the whirlwind of perimenopause.
