Stop

Have the courage to stop what you're doing. Give yourself the space to slow down, so you can see the bigger picture and get a handle on things. 

Take a day or two to rest, do nothing, and regroup. Center yourself so that you have the energy to make wiser, healthier decisions.

Let go of some things

Lin Yutang said, "besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." 

What don't you need to do? What can you delegate or let go of?

Commit to less

Having too much to do often has to do with unrealistic goal setting and over-committing your time and energy. 

Are you being overly ambitious? What you can really do?

Say no

People who are overwhelmed spread their energy too thinly. 

When you feel scattered and pulled apart in a lot of different directions, are you willing to pull yourself back in and say "no" to others?

Simplify

Being overwhelmed goes hand in hand with having a mind full of complicated thoughts and chaos. David Allen reminds us, "Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them." 

Are you willing to make your life simpler? Are you willing to make your mind simple, and approach the things in your life with a sense of simplicity?

Limit yourself

Limit yourself

Be willing to focus on just a few things at a time. Put limits on certain activities that aren't important. 

By limiting your time and energy for certain endeavors, and not allowing yourself to get lost in the day-to-day, you can create more time and space in your life.

Develop self-esteem

Oftentimes, an underlying poor self-esteem is the culprit of over-doing and over-committing. Instead of understanding your own needs, you are constantly catering to the needs of others. 

Be willing to take time for self-care.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
