How to Tackle Overload. Some more thoughts.
By admin | August 31, 2008
Are you still struggling to get to grips with your day? Still finding it hard to achieve? I have given you some of the stuff I have found useful. I don’t pretend I get it right by any stretch of the imagination but as procrastination is my middle name, it’s a battle I fight all the time.
You need to find your gradient. If you are finding things overwhelming, then come down the gradient a bit. If you are finding things a little too easy then march up it a bit more. You have to walk before you can run and you may need to backtrack a little sometimes. If you feel overwhelmed, then break down your task into bite sized pieces. If you are starting a project, don’t just launch in. Why don’t you write a “contents page” If you get into the habit of writing a contents page for some of your bigger tasks or projects, it helps to break it down into more achievable objectives. You can then work on them one at a time but have an overall picture of where you are going. Don’t tackle a steep slope all at once, work up it in degrees.
I guess a rough rule of thumb is, if it doesn’t excite or challenge you then you need to go up a few degrees, if you feel overwhelmed, come back a few notches and break it down a bit more.
Challenging but not overwhelming is the key.
