Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
Your problem is not that you are overwhelmed. Your problem is an attachment to the story of overwhelm.
Truthfully, re you overwhelmed? Or do you just feel that way?
Let us really, really look at your last 5 days.
Let's just isolate one of the hours. Let's take a look at this "overhwelm" and see if it's really there.
Your are not, in this hour we've chosen to look at, at all overwhelmed, are you? Not in this particular hour. But your story is that you are.
You can drop that story. You can tell a different story. Try this story: I've only got one thing to do! How liberating. It's the thing I'm doing right now."
