The Best Ways To Deal With Overwhelm
b'
Anyone who’s been in business for some time will have felt the drowning effects of overwhelm. Incrementally, the small things pile up, until they’ve become a mountain that stands between us and our goals.
\\nIt’s easy to slip down the cracks at these points, but as John discusses this week, there is a way out, and it’s simpler than you think.
\\nKEY TAKEAWAYS
\\n- \\n
- Overwhelm is when things get so much, that we lose inspiration, and can’t continue with our goals, meaning we end up doing far less than usual. \\n
- You need to chill out. Take some perspective and remind yourself that it isn’t the end of the world. \\n
- It’s rarely as bad as you think. Sometimes the dread is worse than the reality of any situation. \\n
- Compartmentalise it. Break up your tasks into sections and keep them separate from each other. It makes it easier to prioritise. \\n
- Break it down until you can see what the issues are. By taking problems apart, you can see the basic elements that are slowing you up. \\n
- Delegate if you can. Work out if you can pass off any tasks to people you trust. \\n
- Just do it. Dig your heels in and work through. \\n
BEST MOMENTS
\\n’The world’s not going to end. Things aren’t going to fall off a cliff’
\\n‘When people panic they make rash decisions. This compounds the issue’
\\n‘If I allowed overwhelm to get to me, I would just say “screw it, I’m not doing anything”\'
\\n‘Overwhelm is very real. It happens to everyone in business. But don’t let it beat you\'
