HOW YOU CAN STOP THE OVERWHELM


Ever felt like for each task you accomplish, another 2 tasks come your way? It's like you're drowning with no lifeline. ๐Ÿคฌ


That was me, 2 years ago. No matter what I did, I just kept getting more and more overwhelmed. I knew more and yet, I felt frozen. ๐Ÿฅถ I didnโ€™t know where to start the change, or whether I had the time.


Thatโ€™s when I decided I would move even if it was a mistake down the road, or there was no gain. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ It was better than staying still. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ


With my goal in mind, I took these steps:


  1. Did a brain dump! ๐Ÿง  To save my brain from remembering everything โ€“ I made a list of all the things I wanted to do and jot them down. โœ

  2. I looked at what my non-negotiables were (i.e. your big rocks)๐Ÿฅ‡ I looked at what parts of my life did I have to have? ๐Ÿฅ‹๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘ซ I slotted those into my schedule first. This ensured I had the necessary things in my day to unwind.

  3. Put in deadlines for workโฑ Hereโ€™s the kicker. Set deadlines for when I wanted to start and end work each day. One of the reasons we donโ€™t feel like we have enough time we procrastinate thinking โ€œI can do it laterโ€. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ Then before you know it, itโ€™s bed time. โณ

  4. The rest is up for debate ๐ŸŽ‰ Here is where I could be spontaneous if I wanted. Either I add in the lower priority tasks to the rest of my schedule or I could just breeze through them in whatever order throughout the week.


These things can be tricky, but they are not impossible.
