How many times during the year have we said this to ourselves? And how many times especially during the holiday season do we say this to ourselves? Too many, is my guess.
Here’s five quick tips to help us through these moments!
I hope that these tips are helpful in relieving any feeling you have of feeling overwhelmed. I know that I have followed this five-step process many times and have found great success with it!
If you don’t already have a strategy in these moments, give this one a try. If you do, I’d love to hear how you best manage your time to avoid feeling overwhelmed!

Support directoryLosing one’s job is painful, it can be one of the most destructive events happening in ones life. I should know I have been through a few of them. Most recently I was laid off March 2nd, 2023. An unexpected shock as the organization I worked for gave no indication there would be any form […]

The pain of being laid off is affecting thousands, but mostly in big tech. It saddens me to say I was just laid off and although I did not work or one of the major big tech companies like Twitter, Alphabet and others we were still apart of financial tech. Here is a recent article […]

Happy New Year 2023! What the new year means to me, to you, to the world. It means something different for everyone. Some create resolutions for the new year to be new person, new goals. I am often reminded of when I would attend my local gym, a 24-hour fitness which by the way is […]

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by our tasks or assignments isn’t it! But like you say, it’s so important to sort your priorities and make sure you’re putting yourself first! Learning when to say no to things is an important thing too!
Agreed Charley! Selfcare is key!
great post ! x
Thank you Belle Lab!
#3 & #4 are super important from my experience. Delegating was probably the hardest one to do too.
I agree – I feel like I’m pushing my work on others. But I’m starting to learn that in many cases its giving opportunities to others
Great tips! Especially around the holiday season, I try to plan what I need to do well in advance to not get completely overwhelmed, but things end up getting really hectic either way so these are some important and useful things to remember. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome Rahi – I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Great tips Lisa! We’ve all been there. I find myself there on a regular basis! I like what you said about reframing the thinking I have to do this and I get to do this. People think it seems silly, but it works. I like using the eisenhower matrix to prioritize my tasks, to help with the overwhelm a bit. Thank you!
I haven’t heard of the eisenhower maxtrix – I will have to check that out!
I fall into this trap often! I always feel that I need to do more and get overwhelmed by the tasks I give myself. Great perspective and advice!
I fall into the same trap too – a work in progress for me! 🙂
I have finally learnt to delegate (around the house, at least) and I started to enjoy it. Of course, the other parts are not very happy about my revelation, being used to I do everything, and they don’t have to move a finger. Yeah, it’s good… I should have done it long ago:)) But still not #1; this will take a lot longer, I fear:)))
These changes definitely don’t happen overnight but it sure sounds like you’ve made some good ones!
Great post and i always feeling overwhelmed (lost my direction) especially on my own business but these are nice tips for helping me more ?

You are welcome Jess – I hope they help!
Asking for help has always been the hardest but this is a nice post. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Virginia – happy holidays!
I absolutely agree with all these tips! I try to organize my Christmas to do list into small tasks and schedule the time to do it. Delegate is also a great strategy. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome – I’m glad you enjoyed the article! Happy holidays!
Delegation is great, but unfortunately my family rarely listen properly first time around, so I end up doing it anyway!
So sorry to hear that Lisa! Hopefully that starts to change over time
Good reminders! We definitely need that distraction-free time.
Yes, it’s amazing how much you can get done when the distractions are removed
I think it’s so easy to get overwhelmed but breaking tasks down and prioritising some is definitely how I try to keep on top of everything.

It sounds like you have a very workable process in place – good for you. 🙂
Asking for help is such a big one! I know for me I don’t particularly like asking for help, but when I do it really makes a difference!
I agree – I don’t like doing it but I never regret it when I do!
