I came across this really great article called “What to do…” It’s a really great article that gives you an actionable plan/strategy to try out when you are feeling overwhelmed by the tasks on your to do list. You can read more about it HERE on the site called Build a Little Biz.
So when you are feeling overwhelmed:
1. Start with the tasks that will make you money
2. Do one thing a day to get the job done
3. Do one more thing a day to fuel your spark.
I’ve been trying it out and I think it’s working. It’s really nice to start your day knocking out the money maker because you’ll feel like it was a successful day no mater what else happens. Give it a try and I’d love to hear if it works for you too.
Thanks for these tips!
When I feel overwhelmed or totally uninspired to work I always stick to your n.2: do something, even the smallest of things you can pull through. At the end of the day I go to bed with the feeling that I at least didn’t give up, and that feels good!
Sounds like a pretty good plan, I’ll have to read that article on the weekend!
Great advice – I love #1, never think about tasks in that way. Thanks for sharing!
I never really thought about tasks in that way either, but it definitely helps me prioritize what’s important at the moment. Thanks for stopping by Kait.
Those are some really great tips. I think I sometimes give myself to much to do and then I feel overwhelmed and its hard to even start. So ironic I know.
Oh, I definitely know the feeling!
I like this! And thanks for the heads-up on that site. Always great to have some more business columns to peruse.
Thanks for stopping by Jess. The website is fairly new to me, so I have lots of exploring to do as well. Let me know if you find anything good
Thankyou for the tips! Brilliant.
I love this! It’s really simple but I love #1. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you are juggling paid projects + passion projects. I am a firm believer that balance is key but you still owe it to your clients to prioritize them! Thanks for sharing
