One Thing at a Time

Many people want to change their lives but quickly become overwhelmed by the enormity of the task or number of choices. I ask my clients to take it easy on themselves and do one thing at a time. Try the following steps to break a big task into manageable chunks:

1. Brainstorm ideas of what you want to do.
2. Pick one idea that makes the most sense to start on.
3. Decide on one thing you will do to work on your idea.
4. Decide by when you will complete the task.

These simple four steps will help you break a big challenge down into components that you can deal with individually. We tend to get stressed out because we try to work on all parts of a challenge at once rather than focusing on one thing and moving to the next when we have successfully accomplished the previous step.

Have a successful day,
