Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! Here’s your tip.
One thing at a time.
It’s so easy to get overwhelmed when you have too much to do. Just pick one thing from that mountainous to-do list. And do it. Start with something you know you can accomplish. Don’t let yourself get distracted or try to do something else as well. Just work on it until the task is done. Then smile, breathe, pat yourself on the back, and pick the next item. Repeat.
Yes, you may find that you can’t complete a project for one reason or another, but don’t get frustrated or, worse, give up entirely. Just stop, breathe, pick something else, and get back to work. And take a break from time to time to clear your head and regain perspective.
This is me trying to take my own advice.
Like this tip? There are lots more in Miss Mina Murray’s Little Book of Better Burlesque.
