      Q&A: Assessing overwhelm and turning it into baby steps. ...when every task on your list takes more time than you have and you feel like you can’t get enough of a task done to take the thing off your list.

    You are so inspiring
    I'm 14 and I'm sick with a deadly disorder and I've been sick in the hospital quiet a lot. If there is one thing being sick has taught me is live everyday like its your last, because for me and many other kids that are sick, we know it could be and I hope everyone starts to live the life to the fullest. I'm now starting my recovery and I'm feeling so much more motivated. You lavendaire are an inspiration that are helping me get through this. Thank you so much 💖💖💖

    Lavendaire. I watch this video whenever I need direction. Back in 2017, it helped me switch jobs and prioritize what I wanted to become. Thank you.

    Eek I love this video - escaping busy-ness and working on what matters is the only way to get to where you want to go! At the same time, letting yourself drown in 'busy' tasks that aren't really getting you anywhere is so easy to do - and feels so productive - it's such a trap. Always love your content girl 💖

    I've felt like a complete mess the last 2 weeks with tasks and assignments building up and being in a constant race to keep up. I had no idea how to prioritise. I just writing to-do lists everyday then procrastinating😩 this video is so practical and has really helped - thank you so much!!

  • @issy0613

    I literally just clicked on this bc I felt overwhelmed with revision and I needed a mental breather and I had no idea Friday's video would be the answer to my problems 😂😂 Now I have a not-so-intimidating list of what to do next in terms of school and my mind feels way clearer. Thanks, Aileen! 💕

    @uninico 7 лет назад +3

    I liked this interactive video! I found a lot of these ideas were floating around my head and I knew what I had to do, but writing them down made them seem so much more tangible and urgent. I also found that as I went through each step I would go back and add more to my original list and find other priorities I'd previously glossed over as 'expecting them to happen anyway' only to realize I had no plan to MAKE them happen! thank you Lavendaire x

    Yes, thanks .I am a husband, Father, only son to elderly parents, member of local church, full time employee, and friend to many younger children on my street who I try to give direction to. I often feel overwhelmed due to my lack o prioritization. This video has helped. I decided to take care of my home as the number one priority. I have had a mice problem for a while and have not been able to block them from coming into hour home. But for the rest of this month and next month, I am going to laser focus on all I can do. I have been told you cant block them out completely but I am going to try. I know too much information, lol

    @saranacruz 7 лет назад +2

    It's seems very simple when you say..but it blow my mind when I wrote down everything! Now only I am realizing the fact that, how far away I am from my so important tasks... thank you so much for this wonderful video! Love you😘

    • @lavendaire

  • @corrynpatterson
    @corrynpatterson 7 лет назад

    I really like the idea of having interactive exercises in videos. Instead of saying, do this exercise after the video, you give the incentive that it's a part of the video, not just an afterwards activity, because most people won't do it afterwards.
    Anyway, I did do what you said, and my main goal for the next 3 months is writing. I want to be an editor/writer, yet I don't write, and I haven't for a very long time. Obviously, that's quite important for the career I'm pursuing, so I sat down and wrote a poem that eventually turned into an awesome expression and therapeutic exercise for myself.
    So thank you for this wonderful video. I do plan on continuing this exercise!

    I really feel that proritizing stuff. Especially in school, they give us sooo much homework and projects (barely anybody in class sleeps anymore) and these teachers just expect that we're going to give our always 1000%... I have so much more to say, but for now I'm just thankful to have randomly clicked on this video. 💕💕💕 Lots of love from the Philippines 💙

    This was really helpful in making a concrete plan for my summer! Since I won't be working but have a lot of personal projects I want to work on, this helped me to visualize what I need to do. I did not have to cross anything off though because the initial step of only thinking about the next three months kept my list fairly focused.

    That exercise was amazing 😆. Everything you said before sounded right, but when I did the exercise I realized how to put into action all those things. Especially when I had to cross over what was not a priority, it was little hard because I wanted to do them, but it was also relieving 😄. Thanks a lot!!!

Maybe I should have process-oriented goals for the next one and three month(s) and postpone the next steps to later months? Or maybe I need to carve out certain days/times during the day to do each?

    Might I add, that sometimes when we do create these steps to follow, we often stop short from following through with the plan. It may be because the planning and organizing process itself can be mentally draining. Step 6 is the most important step because it's the step that turns wishing thinking into results.
    As Napoleon Hill puts it in, "Think and Grow Rich," we have to find that definiteness of purpose and start whether we're ready or not.
