New to the Weekly MindSweep? Past issues live here.
Writing is a creative process, and I typically hold the space to write my weekly email on Sunday. It's when I have room to breathe, be inspired, and let my ideas flow.
I've had to shift my schedule to write my email on a Thursday this week, and my creative muse didn't arrive on time.
Oh, I know! I head on over to Chat GPT! This online AI tool is just the thing I need to support the bubbling up of ideas. I enter the address in my browser and

You are kidding me right now, right universe?
Now, let’s sweep the brain…
ca·pac·i·ty
/kəˈpasədē/
noun: capacity; plural noun: capacities
1.the maximum amount that something can contain.
2.the amount that something can produce.
Like machines, humans have a capacity as well.
Capacity is beginning to feel like a big word. Place it after most words in the dictionary, and it will describe said word's limit. Every place, everything, and every human has a point where they can no longer accept more of whatever is trying to enter.
While there are unlimited types of capacity, I'd like to discuss Time, Energy, and Attention.
The amount of time, energy and attention we can use is fundamentally limited.
Each human's Time, Energy, and Attention are diverse. Your resources are yours alone. The amount is fluid, can change based on how you care for yourself, and cannot be compared to someone else.
However, we can exercise and build our capacity around understanding, awareness, and what we value most.
As entrepreneurs, we often stretch ourselves and expend these resources beyond their capacity threshold.
Working more is not the answer.
I'm excited to begin discussing capacity and what it means to you.
In what areas of your life or business do you feel you are reaching capacity?
How does your body and mind warn you when you are approaching a threshold?
Are there any areas in your life or business where you might want to expand your capacity?
You belong here; I can help.
