Proceed inspite of thoughts that say,
Have you ever had this experience? You're faced with so many things that have to be done in a timely manner that it overwhelms you... so all you do is nothing! Well, that is, almost nothing. You do manage to:
Worry yourself sick about how you'll get everything done.
Eat or snack until you feel drowsy.
Take several naps hoping to awaken inspired.
Reorganize your papers and desk drawers as part of your plan of attack.
Worry about all of the time you know you've wasted making plans and reorganizing your desk.
If you're tired of finding yourself exhausted -- even before you're able to start working on some line of tasks assembled before you -- the following insights and prescribed actions are custom-made for you. They will lend just the help you need to succeed in handling a hundred pressing jobs; all while enjoying that inner calm and confidence that comes with knowing that you're not only doing all that can be done, but you're doing it in the best manner!

Now learn the higher techniques that will show you how to be a self-starting individual instead of a self-stalling one.
Each time you're faced with a logjam of tasks that seem far beyond your mortal abilities to resolve in the allotted time, here's what to do. First, whittle these logs down to manageable size by writing each one out on a pad of paper. This act will also help you untangle some of your own tangled feelings about the jam you're in. For now, forget their order of importance; that will become clear later. Just get each task down on paper. Besides, your priorities can only be as clear as your thinking, so making this list helps to clarify both. Another benefit of your list is that it will keep confusion out of the picture, and confusion is to anxiety what wind is to
