Tactics to Deal with Entrepreneurial Overwhelm & ADD
As an entrepreneur there will be days when you are stressed and would just like to start the day over. There will be days when you have too many decisions to make, too many projects to complete, not enough projects to complete, and horde of ideas you would like to implement. Every once in a while we all experience the feelings of frustration, exhaustion and dissatisfaction at building our business. Here are a few tactics to use to deal with overwhelm. Vacation Days – The truth is that you need to take scheduled breaks in order to stay focused to succeed. My strategy is to schedule four mini-vacations and one long vacation each year. The mini-vacations are scheduled for four days each quarter and the long vacation is schedule for 10 days each year. I use the mini-vacations to refresh my mind. I spend the first and last day relaxing. The 10 day vacation is when I take a trip. Create A Schedule – To get everything done that will have to be done, you are going to need a schedule. You want to break your day into one or two hour blocks of time. Limit the amount of time you spend on a task. Work From a Prioritized “To-Do List” everyday
Start each by creating a list of items that have to be completed this week. Your “to do list” should be broken into the same categories as your schedule and have no more than 2 items per category. Then prioritize the items on your “to do list” by importance. Outsource and delegate as much you can
Just because you are used to doing everything yourself doesn’t mean you have to. Just because you know how to do something is no reason to do it. Doing everything yourself is the easiest and fastest way to stress your out and become overwhelmed. The thing to remember is just because you are in business for yourself it doesn’t mean you are in business by yourself. Divide the load with a partner
Another way to decrease your tasks and keep the stress and overwhelm down is to work with a partner on your next big product/project. Joint Ventures are a great way to get additional support with the workload. You can also have someone to bounce ideas off. When starting your next product/project, think about the resources someone else could bring in.
