Welcome to another episode of the Mark My Words Podcast. In today’s episode, Mark discusses overwhelm and how you can avoid it in business and in life. Mark brings you his top tips on how to better manage your time and your headspace so you can get more done and become more effective.

We all need to accept that overwhelm and stress comes from us. We are part of the problem but also the solution. We need to realise that you can better deal with your issues and stress in order to give yourself more clarity of thought and a better focus when attending meetings and interacting with others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Top Tips To Deal With Overwhelm

1. Write down what it is you need to do. Get your ideas and tasks out of your head and give yourself the space to collate your thoughts and reduce the stress.
2. At the end of the next working day, revisit the tasks you’ve set yourself and with a clearer mind evaluate what you’ve done towards the tasks.
3. Reduce the amount going into your diary and compartmentalise when you can take meetings. Create blocked out times when you’re seeing clients or going out of the office and add a buffer to allow for travel time before and after the meeting so that you’re not rushed. Adding time after meetings will give you time to collate your thoughts also.
4. Always have your phone on silent so you can’t be distracted throughout the day and revisit any missed calls or messages at the end of the day.
5. Make sure you unsubscribe from emails or block numbers from marketers.
6. Always have honest conversations with the people around you. This can include family and business partners and gives you the opportunity to be on the same page so you can work coherently.
