Do you ever feel you have just too much to do?   You don’t know where to start?  The more you think about everything you have to do, the more overwhelmed you feel.  Happens to me too!   How do you deal with it?

Sometimes it is my own doing, saying yes to too many things.   Other times it is things I can’t control.  Sometimes it comes from just trying to please too darn many people!

I have found that when I get in these moods, the following steps are helpful.

1. It is best to focus and make a list of everything I need to do.

2. Then prioritize.

3.  Then take the top item and break it down into small steps

4.  Work on the top prioritized items small steps till finished.

5.   When finished, move to the next item.

I know this sounds very simple, and it is.  But it is surprising how many people can’t or won’t do this. No matter how big a project is, you simply break it down into small manageable steps and slowly get things done and cross them off the list.   It gives you a great sense of accomplishment to see those items crossed off the list and it also gives you momentum to keep going and do more.

I have completed some huge projects using this method.  I use it for work projects as well as personal and social projects.

Give it a try and let me know how you make out. Perhaps you know of another great tip to share for handling that overwhelmed feeling.  Please share in the comments below if you do.

 

 

 

Did you know you now have different voices on facebook?   If you are a page administrator, it is now much easier to tell whether you are posting as yourself or the page and to switch back and forth.

When you are on a page you administrate you can see the VOICE icon at the top between your name and the Home icon.

To the left or your screen under your notifications you should see a notice that you are commenting as yourself, but you can switch to the page.  Just click on the page name and you can make the switch.

Once you have made the switch, you can comment or post on the page as the page.  When you want to comment or post as yourself, you would click on the link again.  This time clicking on your name.

Switching back and forth between you various pages and yourself should be easier than ever thanks to Facebook Voices feature.

Have you tried the new feature yet?   Let me know your thoughts on this feature in the comments below.
