Have you been feeling overwhelmed? Sometimes that can happen when we fall behind or have too many things on our “to-do” list.

1. The first tip to getting organized is shortening our “to-do” list. We often get overwhelmed because we put too many things on our list. What are some short-term things that we can focus on?

2. Write it down. Whether you like to use paper and pen or your note app on your phone. A clear idea of what needs to be done can help clarify us.

3. Determine what is most important to focus on first.

4. Schedule time in your day to get things done. Break it down into small, realistic steps.

5. Get to it. Put your plan into action. Remember to do the important things first so they don’t become a more significant stressor.
