from MindHealth by Sara Stevens · host Sara Stevens
I think we can enjoy life more if we do the things we need to as quickly as we can. If we have lots to do then it not only feels like a weight on us but it can negatively impact our mental health and anxiety levels. You might be thinking why is this the case? It is because our minds can get overwhelmed when too many things need to be done. Even if they are small things, they can still trigger anxiety for some people. I think it is important that we have strategies to help us get things done without the stress that can come and without getting overwhelmed. For me, I have a head like a sieve and so I need to have a list of things that need to get done. I like to keep things in my diary so I can have them on repeat until I have found the time to do them. I find this works for me, when I log into the diary it can trigger me to remember that I have these things to do. I often add them into any spaces I have in my work diary and then I often get them done in the gaps through the day. But this might not work for you, it is all about finding the best way that suits you and your mindset.
