Ever feel like you're drowning in your to-do list, but instead of tackling it, you just… freeze? Yeah, I’ve been there too. Overwhelm isn’t always about having too much to do—it’s about struggling to decide what to do first. And if you’re anything like me, you probably overthink every little detail, which only makes it worse.
