Yup, I agree. Knowing where the feelings of overwhelm are coming from is half the battle won. For me, it's often a buildup of unmet expectations and the subsequent sense of failure that gets to me.

Identifying the source of our frustrations is a great way to find direction and add some clarity to our actions. We've all been there - feeling frazzled and knowing where to begin to tackle the problem is half the battle won.
I make to-do lists for each day and prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. This helps me focus on what needs to be done now versus what can wait. Crossing out accomplished tasks gives a sense of satisfaction and keeps me motivated to get through the tough ones. At the end of each week, I review my accomplishments and challenges to set realistic, achievable goals for the next.
