3 Questions to Get Out of Overwhelm!
Feeling overwhelmed is something we all experience at times. When our thoughts and tasks start to compete for limited mental space, it can be challenging to make progress. If you're feeling stuck in overwhelm today, I’d like to offer three simple questions to help you get moving again...
1. What is truly urgent?
2. What can only be done by you?
3. Who can you ask for help?
One of the best ways to clear your mind is to write everything down. Try a brain dump by putting all the thoughts and tasks swirling in your head onto a page.
1. What is truly urgent?
2. What can only be done by you?
Circle only the tasks that are truly urgent and can only be done by you. These are your next steps.
3. Who can you ask for help?
Examine what is left and determine who you can ask for help. Courageously ask.
