Ever notice how we instinctively focus on the most challenging parts of a new assignment?
I call this the "doomsday scenario" response—when wedeclare defeat before even starting.
Here's a better approach I've developed:
1️⃣ Break tasks into smaller chunks
2️⃣ Identify the "low-hanging fruit" you can complete quickly
3️⃣ Start with easiest tasks, not the hardest ones
4️⃣ Apply the 80/20 rule - tackle the achievable 80% first
5️⃣ Use parallel processing - work on easy tasks while mentally preparing for difficult ones
This strategy transforms you from a "doomsday caller" into an"achiever" by creating momentum, building confidence, and showcasing immediate progress.
What strategies help you tackle overwhelming tasks?
