clearing the task backlog

3 oils · Citrus · Woody · Resinous & sweet · code BL-1126


Leftover tasks piled up like a mountain; just take them one at a time. Three drops of lemongrass open with a vivid, fresh tang, two drops of cypress add cool needles, and a single drop of frankincense keeps a warm base. Great for an office or desk in the morning. Tip: sort tasks from easiest to hardest, start the diffuser, and begin with the smallest one.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemongrass (fresh, green and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. Frankincense (resinous with a light lemony note, deep and still) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.


Method

Diffuser
Lemongrass 3 · Cypress 2 · Frankincense 1 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.

Safety

Skin irritant

Lemongrass can irritate skin — dilute well and patch-test on a small area first.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use clearing the task backlog in a diffuser?
Add Lemongrass 3 · Cypress 2 · Frankincense 1 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of lemongrass?
Swap lemongrass for lemon or sweet orange — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.
When is the best time to use clearing the task backlog?
Run it at your desk or study corner in cycles of 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, so your nose does not tune the scent out.
