Use Voice Notes to Untangle Your Tasks

Published on 1/10/2026

There is a simple way to tidy your thoughts when you are overwhelmed: talk aloud and record yourself, then play it back.

Why Recording Yourself Works

Speaking engages a different part of your brain than writing. When you listen to your own recording, you can observe your thoughts from the outside, just as if someone else were explaining the situation.

How to Try the Method

  • Open the voice-memo app on your phone.
  • Describe what is on your mind—tasks you want to do, frustrations, worries.
  • Play it back and jot down the actionable ideas that surface.

You can throw the recording away afterward. The value lies in the clarity you gain while speaking and listening.

Take It Further

If you need a second opinion, share the recording with a trusted partner or with us. Hearing the same story together makes it easier to create tasks that move you forward.

In our support plans we can listen to your voice notes and help translate them into concrete actions.
