I guess my biggest problem is keeping track of maybe 30-40 little projects that can’t be done immediately and need a few steps to them. I get anxious keeping on top of them and can feel overwhelmed.

Help! Any ideas?

Here’s my answer to John.

Hi John

Thanks for writing!

Yes, I do have some ideas.

1. Make a master to-do list of all those projects (there’s a form in the Organising Success Pack for you to use)
2. Can you delegate any? If yes, then definitely do so!
3. Now choose the top 1 – 3 projects in terms of priority and schedule some time to work on them over the next month. If you’re not sure about how long they’ll take, add some buffer time in.
   Keep chipping away at your list every month, and then every week.
4. Break out of overwhelm, might also help you as will Big, juicy goals which you get when you sign up for the Gold VIP Inner Circle.

Let me know if you need any further help!
