**Nia:** Hey there, welcome to another episode! You know how sometimes it feels like our to-do lists are these never-ending monsters that just keep growing no matter how much we accomplish?
**Eli:** Oh my goodness, yes. That feeling of being perpetually behind is something I struggled with for years. It's like your brain becomes this chaotic filing cabinet of "should-dos" and "need-to-remembers."
**Nia:** Exactly! And it creates this constant low-grade anxiety, right? Like you're always forgetting something important.
