  • Stop what you are doing and take a breath, get away from the all the things that are driving you crazy. Relax, clear your head of all the stress that life has dropped on you. Try relaxation exercises like autogenic training or meditation.
  • Take out a piece of paper and write down all the things that need to be done. Things might not be so taunting once you see them on paper.
  • Every thing is important, but you have to prioritize. Rank all the things that have to be done in order.
  • Plan how you are going to do things and how much time you will take on each item.
  • Without interruption go to the first item and work on it till completed. Don’t start another thing before finishing the task that you are working on.

The key to all this is time management and staying focused on one thing at a time.
