🤯 When overwhelmed, start with one source

I have basically 2 email addresses, and 3 Asana accounts I really need to check. Some days, things just feel like they are pilling up in all 5. My solution to this problem is to tackle the sources one by one.

I’ll usually start with the emails. Go through the list and try to act on each one. If I can’t act right away, the email becomes a task in my Asana.

And then I look at my My Tasks views. Because I am overwhelmed, anything not urgent or important gets pushed back to a future day. And for the rest, I try to organize in Today or Upcoming. And when done organizing, I go through the list again from top to bottom…

Eventually, the overwhelming feeling dies away!

Hope that helps!
