Have you ever felt overwhelmed - - because there are so many things "on your plate" that you don't know where to start or what to do first - - like you are all tied up and gagged with no way to move? If so, the next time you get that awful feeling you might try these few tips to regain your balance in work and in life:
Don't waste your time. It's not the number of hours that you work that counts, it's the way you use them.
Figure out what you like doing and then try to arrange for others to take over things that you aren't crazy about or that could easily be done by someone else.
Forget the old saying, "If you want it done right, do it yourself." This will not only stress you out, but those around you as well.
Start trusting those around you to take care of what they are responsible for.
Always set aside time every week to do the part of the job you love the most, whether it be brainstorming, or giving a presentation, etc.
But, most importantly, sit back - take a deep breath - think some pleasant thought (if that is possibly), and start accomplishing what you have to do one bite at a time.
