[00:00:00]Feeling overwhelmed? You’re probably  carrying more than your to-do list.

[00:00:05]When overwhelm hits, your mind  piles everything together.

[00:00:09]What you need to do What you haven’t done What could go wrong And what it will mean if you drop the ball So instead of forcing yourself to push through, Ask yourself this: “Objectively speaking, what  is the first task at hand?”

[00:00:23]“Now, what expectations am I setting  for myself around the task at hand?”

[00:00:28]“Finally, what’s at risk if I don’t meet those?” Perfectionists don’t just complete tasks.

[00:00:33]They carry the weight of doing them right. When you can separate the emotion from the task, the pressure you feel starts  to make a lot more sense.
