Mindset Matters — Overcoming Overwhelm
Overcoming Overwhelm
As business owners, overwhelm is part of the deal right?
Rarely a day goes by when we don't feel overwhelmed by all of the tasks we need to do.
It's no wonder we feel this way, wearing all the hats, spinning all the plates, keeping all the balls in the air (why so many circus analogies in business??)
While this is true, we DO have lots of work to do but we often don’t know how to prioritise or organise that never ending list. We're often creating tedious to-do lists without first addressing what the end goal is.
We will never have enough time to do everything but we will always find time to do what's important.
We just need to add Intentionality.
We often forget to ask ourselves this simple question which leads us to congruent, aligned action.
What do I want to achieve today?

Starting our day with intentionality
We all have a choice. What we want to do, what we want to achieve, who we want to help. We just don’t ask ourselves the question to set the intention which leads to congruent, aligned action.
Ask yourself this: What do I want to achieve today?
Tools I used to help with decision making to create a solution focussed mindset
How to prioritise jobs that are important to you
Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed by a long list of to-do’s, I put these questions through a filter to help me work out what is really a priority and what can be bumped from my list or de-prioritised (keeping in mind this is for any tasks which don’t have a hard deadline).
Ask yourself this
Am I doing this task because I want to.
Am I doing this task because I have to.
Am I doing this task because someone else wants me to.
