What do you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed ?

[Tim Richter]

Hey everyone,

Hopefully this finds you all healthy and happy in this crazy year we’re having!

I’ve been feeling somewhat overwhelmed with my current(also first) investment deal and wanted to reach out to the community to see what people do when things get overwhelming.

Let us know what helps you get through when you feel like you have a thousand things to do and very little time to do it!

For me, I make a list and start checking boxes.

Thanks for your input!

Keep grinding!

I'm also a big fan of the to do list @Tim Richter. I have gone a step further since reading Jocko Willink's book, and now prioritize the list as well, especially on really stressful days. 

I've found that the most stressful items on the list are also usually the ones with the highest priority, so it's kind of like killing two birds with one stone - check off a thing that is causing the stress and checking off a item on my list just feels good.

If things are really crazy, I'll eventually just drop everything and go to the gym where they have a heavy bag set up. Pull out the boxing gloves, and go to town. It's amazing what a few minutes with the bag will do to clear the mind and take some of the edge off!
