It’s a real slippery slope from I can do all the things! to I’ve made a huge mistake.
Do you ever feel like your workload is so full that you don’t know where to start and end up a little…frozen in fear?
Yeah, I’ve been there for a couple days now.
So for today, I leave you (and me!) with this simple reminder:
I’m going for a walk to clear my head before settling down to work with a nice hot cup of chamomile tea. Hopefully that will loosen the knot of anxiety in my chest.
And hopefully you are in a calmer place than me today! What helps you relax when you do feel overwhelmed?
Peace out, friends.
Know the feeling, just relax indeed! When I feel overwhelmed I also drink lots of tea, but seriously, haha
Thank you Elsbet! 🙂
Alll the time. I was just talking about this on Friday. I try to keep all my to-dos and lists in their spots so I know that I can review it and pick what’s most important or urgent. I have a few ways I pick what I should do for the day – one is going off an “anxiety list” (listing what’s making me anxious and picking one or two to work on) or using an urgent/non-urgent and important/regular status grid to plot out what I have to do. I try to use the GTD principles for work and create task lists for the following day — but I never manage to do the Weekly Review. Personal tasks, however, are a lot messier. I need to figure out how to keep those better organized.
I love the “anxiety list” idea! It’s so tough to keep everything organized, especially when one has a non-traditional schedule. Thanks for stopping by and commiserating!
Perfect timing for a post like this 🙂 Walks always help… so does dinner with friends 🙂
Ooo, dinner with friends, that’s a good one! Thank you dear!
