Simplify Life
I am up really early this morning as my darling hubby has a 6am flight to Durban for work (wish I could have gone with and visited my Aunt!) so I have been pottering around getting some stuff done and was reading my Flylady e-mails and found a link to MogoBox.com ... This is one of the posts I saw and absolutely loved ...

Do you frequently feel overwhelmed? If so, here is a 4 step method to help overcome these feelings of anxiety.
Step 1:
Use a notebook to keep track of your daily routine. Every time you start to feel overwhelmed make a note of the activity that you are doing when this starts to happen. Do this for a week.
Step 2:
Next take 10 mins to review your notebook. Look for similarities or patterns. Is there a certain activity or activities that make you agitated?
Step 3:
If possible stop performing the activities that causes you to feel overwhelmed. If that is not possible, look for ways to delegate the tasks. This could be with coworkers, family members, friends, etc. If the task can't be delegated, try to automate it. It might be as simple as using a computer program, but find a new approach to attack these tasks.
Step 4:
Remember, no worries, be happy! Life is good, you can do the tasks you set out to do!
