Recently I was asked to ake a contribution to an Organizing Blog by a colleague of mine, Stephanie Calahan.
Since "Overwhelm" is a word that we hear allot of, Stephanie brought us all together to help provide our best strategies to break out of this state.
Take a moment to read the post "106 Thoughts on Overcoming Overwhelm in a Freaked-Out World"

Decline doing what is not of value to you.
Saying NO can be hard because as helpful, loving and creative people we want to help, support and show just how much we are capable of when it comes to new assignments and opportunities.
Learning to say No can be difficult, yet it is a valuable skill if we want to stay focused on what is truly important.
When assignments come up ask yourself if it aligns with your overall goals, or if it is too important to let go. If you answer is NO, then decline to get involved
