It must have happened to you: the darkness of tasks, time passes, and the brain is either in a panic, or just announced a day off today and refuses to think. Here are some ways to help yourself get started.
Focus on one thing
The fact is, as soon as we try to incorporate multitasking in ourselves, the effectiveness of our thinking decreases. It's like trying to write with both hands at the same time. Therefore, we select one task and proceed to it.
It's easier to start
We often fall into a stupor from the realization of how much of everything needs to be done. And the thought "where to start" becomes a stop light. Help yourself - start with the task you can accomplish the fastest. And now you have one less thing to do.
Sort information
Another life hack when overwhelmed with tasks: clean up your desktop. Whether it's literally your desk or your computer monitor. When everything is packed in the appropriate boxes, folders, the brain does not waste time searching for the desired file. And voila - the speed of your work increases significantly, and you get tired less.
Plan out
Perhaps the best way to get rid of the anxiety and feeling of chaos. When you describe, and better clearly, on paper, what you need to do, the brain perceives it as an instruction and a call to take action.
Alternate task formats
If your tasks are heterogeneous, it is better to arrange them one after the other so that the next task does not repeat the previous one. For example, first write a report, then work with numbers or make illustrations. This way you avoid monotony and keep information fresh.
