The number one question I keep getting asked is, “How do you stay focused on what you need to get done when you feel overwhelmed and bombarded by life?”

Focus and motivation is an issue for everyone right now, not just you. In this video, I walk you through the steps I take when I feel overwhelmed by how much I need to get done.

The secret is enlisting a friend, a roommate, one of your teenage kids, your brother or sister, or in my case, your husband to help you dig out from underneath your to-do list. Start with a brain dump. Just dump everything that’s on your mind and on your to-do list on a piece of paper. Then have your friend help you move through the list. Anything that can be done immediately, like sending a text, an email or making a phone call, do it RIGHT THEN. In my case, Chris wouldn’t even ask, he’d just start dialing the phone.

When you ask a third party to help you get organized, their objectivity will cut right through your overwhelm and get you into action. And when you’re done with your list, I bet your friend will ask you to help them with theirs.

So today if you’re feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list like I was, I want you to find someone, virtually or in person, to sit down with as soon as possible. Tag them and let them know you’re about to call.
