Are You Feeling Out of Control?

You’re not just overwhelmed; you’re struggling to keep your head above water. Tasks pile up, from what you need to do right now, to what you should have done yesterday, and everything looming on the horizon.

However, when we feel out of control, even minor issues can cause us to overreact or, conversely, lead to inaction and missed opportunities.

Yet, our minds are often too cluttered to reach this state. We need to offload our mental burdens, ensuring that every task is addressed at the right time. But how do we get there?
