7 Tips to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed and Get Things Done.
The secret to conquering what looks impossible to do
About a year ago I moved to a bigger place — a house with a garage. I was excited! Among other things, now I would have space to organize everything I had put provisorily on the balcony of my apartment.
But instead, with the other daily activities, fixing the garage was becoming a task that grew more difficult by the day. The work seemed impossible to do. I would get overwhelmed just by looking at it! Where could I start?
It took three adults and two kids to do everything and almost one week to finish it — as little or as much as possible each day.
The same problem happened with my writing and content creator work online. Every time I thought about my weekly goals, I would feel overwhelmed. There was so much I wanted to do that I didn’t know where to start. So I would do the next easy thing — a kind of work I didn’t need to think about as much. But that wouldn't give me any satisfaction or accomplishment!
The problem was I wanted to do everything, but everything was too overwhelming.
I had to change things.
