When you feel overwhelmed - take baby steps!From my own experience, I know that sometimes the daily workload can be so very overwhelming that you feel completely blocked. In that situation, though my stress level is incredibly high, I cannot do ANYTHING. I just sit there in front of my screen and do nothing at all - which in turn increases my stress level as I lose more and more time. If you are in such a situation, the first thing is to take a break. A good idea e.g. is to go for a short walk in the fresh air, think about anything but the work waiting for you. When you get back to your desk, you will already feel more relaxed and no longer as blocked as before. You do not just go back to work, though, but you now start to analyze the task at hand. Write down your goal. And then write down all the steps that will lead you there. Put them in a logic order, check whether really all of them are necessary to reach your goal. And then start to work on them one after the other. The big advantage of those baby steps is that you no longer feel overwhelmed because the single steps are now small and easy to take while they are still leading to your goal. This way, you will no longer feel blocked and you can concentrate on the next of your baby steps. Once finished, check it on your list and feel how good it feels to have accomplished something! img src
