I have a confession. I get overwhelmed. Yep, the person that published a book about it -- conducted seminars all across the country on it gets overwhelmed.
I think the experience of overwhelm occurs periodically, in stages and can be situational. For me right now it's the stage type. My business is growing and that's great news. The challenge is I am feeling very stretched and realize I need to develop the ability to manage overwhelm better! I need to get better at it!...even 1% better would be helpful.
As my title suggests, these days I believe the ability to manage overwhelm well is a skill -- a capability essential for today's workplace! Why does it matter you ask? Without doing so, you'll undermine:
The first is the ability to manage overwhelm in the moment. For that I have the 6 minute learning video that will give you 4 easy steps to help you accomplish that. I promise you -- if you practice these steps consistently, you will grow in your capability!
The second is managing it over the long term. This requires addressing your life and activities on a macro level. So I do recommend my book. The book will help you pin point what areas need to be addressed to minimize being overwhelmed more holistically. I will be posting a few supplemental articles to initially guide you towards that end.
