Feeling overwhelmed? DELEGATE
It is a basic but often overlooked principle that we have to keep in mind all of the time.
Tonight I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Dinner needed to be prepared, laundry needed to be folded, baby had to be changed and bathed and a water mess had to be cleaned up immediately. Ok…OK… I had to step back and think…..
I put the 11 year old on the laundry, the 13 and 15 year olds on dinner prep, the 4 year old on the water mess (she made it!) and I finished getting goo off a coat and took care of the baby. If you look at my situation you can see that I delegated as much as I could. I mobilized the troops for about 15 minutes and I was able to accomplish what would have taken me over an hour to do myself.
Remember to delegate to help you through when too many things are looming over you.
