6 Tips For Reducing Overwhelm At Work
Feeling overwhelmed at work can make you feel stressed, confused, trapped, and at risk of burnout. It makes everything seem much more difficult, including managing your time, workload, energy, and focus.
It doesn’t just affect your work though, it affects your mental health and wellbeing too.
That’s why I’ve compiled 6 top tips for reducing overwhelm at work:
-
Brain dump everything that is cluttering your mind.
-
Following your brain dump, make a to-do list of tasks that needs to be done.
-
Break these tasks down based on their priority – Then set time in your calendar aside to achieve 5 things per day off your to-do list. No more than 5.
-
Factor regular breaks into your working schedule – Have a proper lunch break and factor 10-15 minute breaks away from your work throughout the day.
-
Only work on one task at a time – Multitasking will cause you more stress and won’t lead to any task being completed.
-
If you’re struggling with the motivation to get these tasks done, reflect on your goals and shift your mindset to one of excitement and drive. When you remind yourself what you’re working towards, it makes it much easier to get the work done.
I hope these tips help reduce overwhelm at work.
