Dear Alexander #032: Combatting Overwhelm
1 min readApr 26, 2020
When I feel overwhelmed the clouds of anxiety and stress block out the sun of composure and calm. When this happens try this, go on the offensive and run the sprint. What this practically means is this:
- LIST all the tasks you have obligated yourself to do.
- RANK them in order of significance.
- ASK what is the lead domino task that will make other tasks easier, less of a cognitive burden or irrelevant. These are the tasks I usually procrastinate on the most — complete those FIRST.
