Overcoming Overwhelm, Procrastination & Fear

with Lorraine Cohen

Do you suffer from overwhelm, procrastination or fear?

Move from Chaos into Deliberate Action!
 

Are you feeling frustrated because you’re not where you want to be in life? If you’re nodding you head yes, you’re not alone! Making big, or small, decisions can evoke angst and stress.

No matter if it’s your finances, marketing, relationships; any aspect of your life - you are making important decisions every day that require action.

If overwhelm, procrastination, and fear is holding you back from executing your decisions and intentions, you’re blocking more prosperity, happiness,
and business success than you might realize!

5 Tips from Lorraine

1. Dump multi-tasking. Studies are now showing that multi-tasking has become multi-debilitating and less productive. Put your attention on creating a clear picture in your mind about the key things that must be accomplished and fully focus on doing things one at a time. In that way you maintain the energy and motivation to move forward.

2. Chunk it down. Take small steps to progress even if it seems as if you are moving at a snail’s pace. Breaking down your actions into bite-size pieces will make even the most daunting task seem more manageable.

3. Assign Time increments. You might assign 15-minute time increments to complete certain tasks to keep your momentum going. You might be surprised at how much you can accomplish in a short period of time when you are fully committed to a specific action!
Recognizing your daily progress prevents the regret of, “Where did my day go?” With time at a premium, when beginning your day, use your experience to assess the amount of time needed for each task and commit to the time needed so that you focus on the completion of each project. Schedule specific times during the day to manage tasks that would normally interrupt you such as: emails, phone calls and co-workers. When interruptions are inevitable, set a clear boundary for the amount of time you will allow for the interruption and stick to it.

4. Prioritize. Accept that accomplishing everything on your endless to-do list is impossible. Instead, focus on the main things that must be done for each day and do them. Look for things that have deadlines or time constraints. You might even move forward on one of the pieces you have “chunked down.”

5. Systematize. Schedule blocks of time such as 15-30 minute increments to handle key tasks and responsibilities. Assess current systems and update as needed including automation in your business and personal life. Look for simple ways to be more efficient so that you are working smarter not harder. Maximize your strengths in handling certain tasks to best result.
