Under the influence of new technologies, information is pouring in at such a rate that we quickly feel overwhelmed by information and consequently find ourselves with a multitude of data to process at the same time. We have the impression that everything is urgent and that we must respond immediately to this accumulation of data; we don't know where to turn, and that's when total stress overwhelms us. How to stay zen despite everything? What instructions should we follow?
Be organized:
It is imperative to always keep in mind the objectives that have been set for us. Do not hesitate to regularly update your job description and your annual objectives in order to precisely determine the tasks that best allow you to achieve your objectives.
Define your priorities:
We have the impression that everything must be done immediately, but we must know how to classify by degree of urgency. Make a to-do list; don't hesitate to start with what is easy and enjoyable to get you started. Then, as you finish a task, don't hesitate to cross it off the list to encourage yourself. Don't try to do several tasks at the same time; do one at a time and try not to stop until you've finished.
Sort and classify your information as you go:
Try to sort throughout the day the information that comes your way (emails, calls, etc.) and also classify them by degree of urgency and priority according to the objectives previously established.
And then don't hesitate to take a break from time to time, in order to take a step back from what you are doing. Questioning yourself always does good and allows us to see things that we miss when we react impulsively in an emergency.
