As you make your way to success, you get this wave of overwhelm that takes you by surprise. You might try to think back and see if you’ve missed the signs, but it’s too late by then. Burnout is just around the corner! How do you avoid this monster of a situation? In this episode, James and Dean talk about their effective strategies to overcome overwhelm. It’s inevitable, but when you have the right systems in place, overwhelm is not as scary as you think!
“We're human beings, not human doings.” – James P. Friel
Outline of This Episode- Juggling multiple projects at the moment
- As cliché as it sounds, “Health is Wealth!” Play the long game.
- Finding the balance between work, health, relationships, and everything else!
- Writing, good habits, and saying “no.”
- Delete, Automate, Delegate, and “Do It”
Playing the Long Game
You have to be prepared for the long game. Have strategies for getting things out of your head and prioritize your tasks accordingly. If you don’t take time to slow things down, you’re going to burn yourself out like an overheating car.
A Literal Brain Dump
The human mind is not designed for short-term storage. If it has too many things going on, there won’t be much room to process in real-time! Set some systems in place for you to offload from your mind (i.e., journals, planners, or simple notebooks”).
The Magic of Automation
Learn to avoid the things you hate doing the smart. Delete items that aren’t needed. Automate the simple activities that are a pain. Delegate more complex tasks. When you have all these in place, start doing your own thing!
