Episode #67. Interview with Lynne Cazaly on Overwhelm

In this episode Shelley speaks with Lynne Cazaly about her recently published book, Argh, and discovers some practical tips for getting out of overwhelm. It includes simple and effective strategies like pausing for 60-90 seconds between tasks or meetings to give yourself a little time to breathe and space to empty your cognitive load and prepare for the next thing.

She says “overwhelm isn’t just one thing, once. It’s a complex mix of loads and emotions that while vital for human functioning, can get out of control or start running our life. Understanding what overwhelm is and what it’s made of will give us the power to redefine it, to not fall victim to its powerful vortex, and to instead be the master of our work thoughts and emotions”

To transition out of overwhelm we must pause to consider what is the main things that are contributing to it, and then, what are some alternative ways to respond and work through it so we can continue to make ‘free progress’.
