🌿Wednesday Wisdom: Have you heard about Chunking

April 23, 2025

I’m scrolling mindlessly through Instagram the other day, and I land on a video of a young woman talking about “Chunking”. I'm HOOKED!

It turns out that “Chunking” is powerful mental strategy that can transform the way we think, plan, and live.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your to-do list or that your brain is just juggling too much at once? Chunking may be just what you need. 

It’s the process of breaking down information or tasks into smaller, manageable “chunks” to make them easier to process and remember.

For young women juggling independence, a new career, and social life, chunking can help break big goals—like landing a promotion or budgeting for a solo apartment—into smaller, doable steps that feel less overwhelming and more empowering.

For those of us in mid-life, when career demands, aging parents, and family schedules often collide, chunking tasks can bring much-needed clarity and control—like setting aside specific blocks of time for work calls, grouping errands by location, or meal prepping.

And in retirement years, chunking can enhance memory and reduce stress—think organizing daily activities into morning, afternoon, and evening routines, making life feel more predictable and peaceful.

What I love about this concept is that no matter your age, chunking can help you regain control and tackle the mental clutter that so often weighs us down.

It’s about working smarter, not harder—and reclaiming your time and energy.

Yes, I bought in and started chunking this week—and honestly, my days already feel a little more manageable, one chunk at a time. 😊

Happy Wednesday! 🌿
