If you’re a small business owner, chances are that a sense of overwhelm is something you deal with from time to time. I know I do.

In this episode, we discuss my process for dealing with overwhelm:

  1. Acknowledge that you’re overwhelmed. 
  2. Take a break. 
  3. Do a 10-minute brain dump. 
  4. Organize your list into the Eisenhower Matrix
  5. Take action. 
  6. Allow yourself to rest. 

Links and resources mentioned: 

  • Here’s more information on the Eisenhower Matrix, made popular in Stephen Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
  • More information on the Pomodoro Method 
  • Focus@Will (my favorite tool for getting productive) 

ACTION STEP: Download the Eisenhower Matrix template and get your thoughts organized.
