#558 Where to Start When You Feel Overwhelmed at Work


Listen Later

Feeling overwhelmed at work? In this Squiggly Shortcut, Sarah shares three strategies that got her through a particularly full-on week, starting with something most of us don't do nearly enough.

🎯 What You'll Learn
– Why signalling early to the people around you is one of the most useful things you can do when you're overwhelmed (and how to tell them what kind of help you actually need)
– Why emptying your head onto paper (without worrying about making it make sense) creates more space than any prioritisation system
– How to make an honest list of where good enough is fine this week — and where you genuinely need to be great
