---- Original Message ----- From: "Spring" The Top 10 Things to Do When You are Feeling Overwhelmed 1. Make a list of all the things you have to do. Just writing them down helps. 2. Prioritize the list. Have a must do list followed by an important to do list. 3. Delegate! Eliminate any job that someone else can do. 4. Say no! Eliminate jobs that are not going to move you to your goals quickly. 5. Look at your list and select the jobs that you are best at. Do these first. Success is energizing. Find someone else to do the jobs you dislike or are not very good at. 6. Schedule your tasks in your day planner so that you stay focused. Leave plenty of time so you do not feel rushed. Make sure you can finish the job in the time you allot. 7. Take some deep breaths between tasks. 8. Schedule some free time to just relax and/or be creative. 9. Work out regularly to clear your mind and stay fresh. 10. Stay in the moment. Sometimes you get so overwhelmed by work that you think about what you are not doing while you are doing a necessary task. This can be paralyzing.
