If cognitive load has been the theme this week, today’s easy win is about decision relief.

One of the fastest ways to reduce mental strain isn’t adding a new tool, it’s using a familiar framework to make fewer decisions on repeat. That’s where the SMART framework comes in.

Used gently, SMART isn’t about productivity pressure. It’s about clarity.

When goals are:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Relevant
• Time-bound

…they stop floating around in your head demanding attention. The thinking gets done once, instead of every time you sit down to work.

That’s why I’m resurfacing the SEO Strategy With the SMART Framework worksheet as this week’s Easy Win. It’s a simple way to externalize decisions, reduce overthinking, and design strategy that fits your actual capacity, not an idealized version of yourself.

You don’t need to fill it out perfectly. You don’t need to use every section. Even completing one part can lower the mental effort required to move forward.

Use it once. Revisit it later. Let it do some of the thinking for you.

That’s the win.
