This drama we create when we\u2019re getting overwhelmed can be fixed by a simple shift in perception. Rather than completely freaking out about all we have on our plates, we can instead see our opportunities and responsibilities as blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three common complaints behind getting overwhelmed; we can shift our perception of them and get a more pleasant perspective on our huge to-do lists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There\u2019s not enough hours in the day.<\/li><li>There\u2019s too much to do.<\/li><li>I\u2019m exhausted.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There\u2019s Not Enough Hours in the Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Time, like the rest of reality, is in your mind. You can make it work <em>for<\/em> you instead of being its slave. For example, you may think you don\u2019t have time to find a proper parking space, so you park in the red zone. But this can lead to three hours wasted getting your car out of a tow garage. You may think you don\u2019t have time to clean your office. But this can lead to wasting half an hour searching for your phone under piles of junk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some key strategies to help you start handling your time better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Show time some respect<\/strong>. If you\u2019re constantly late, you\u2019re sending a message to The Universe that you don\u2019t value time. If you constantly flake, get it together and stop. Set reminders on your smartphone. This will help you create more time in your own life and you can stop being someone who wastes everyone else\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Identify your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/time-wasting-activities\/\">time-wasters<\/a><\/strong>. What do you find yourself doing when you\u2019re supposed to be doing something else? Facebook? Eating? When you know what your time-wasters are, you can guard against them, turning the internet off, or making the kitchen off limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Break down a task into bite-sized pieces<\/strong>. A giant task can be deflating, leaving you wondering how you\u2019ll ever get it all done. But when you break it down into smaller pieces, it seems doable. For example, if you see a messy house and are getting overwhelmed by the cataclysmic disarray, break it down and focus on one room at a time. By looking at each task separately, it all seems more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This idea of breaking things down works for time, too. For example, if you are building a website, rather than dedicating a whole day to the job, work in hour-long chunks where you can\u2019t eat, walk around, or check texts. Once the hour is up you can take a break and do whatever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I Have Too Much to Do<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re getting overwhelmed by your to-do list, thinking you have way too much to do and not enough hours in the day, try these strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stop talking about how busy you are<\/strong>. Instead of feeling weighed down by all you have to do, focus on what you enjoy about what you do. Understand you have a life full of interesting projects and communicate that to the world and yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get help<\/strong>. An outside perspective can help direct us where to go next or what to do next when we\u2019re confused. Make sure you seek this advice from someone who knows what they\u2019re doing. Think about hiring a business coach or clutter consultant, or talk to a trusted friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prioritize and delegate<\/strong>. We often think we have to handle it all, or that the world will fall apart if we don\u2019t do everything. So ask yourself, why am I doing all this? Is it all absolutely necessary? Does it have to all be done now? Just like breaking down your time into small chunks, you can break down your to-do this into small chunks. Put what has to happen now and what can wait into two separate lists, the Now list and the Wait list. Then look at the Now list and figure out the most important tasks. Try to delegate the less-important tasks or save them for off hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of delegating, trying to do it all yourself is a recipe for disaster. Help is all around us; sometimes receiving it is just about looking at the situation differently. Have your partner help with the laundry. Have your teen clean out the garage. Find the money to hire help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Put your own priorities first<\/strong>. Other people\u2019s needs can grab too much of your time and attention. Don\u2019t answer calls or texts while you\u2019re busy; accomplish your own tasks first before helping anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I\u2019m Exhausted<\/strong> and Getting Overwhelmed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes we live in the mindset that taking time off will cause your entire life to collapse around you. This is arrogant and unhealthy. If you don\u2019t take time off from work, your body will betray you with illness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to make time to do the things that inspire you; enjoying life is a priority. Designing a more fun-filled existence lets you enjoy this life while you still have it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you find yourself getting overwhelmed by a massive to-do list both in your personal life and your work life?
