Today Tyler shares about a specific moment that sticks in his memory. Numerous tasks and deadlines were bearing down on him, and the pressure culminated in a mysterious leakage from his eyes.    Nobody’s immune to being overwhelmed. What matters is how you decide to cope. Tyler’s advice:
  1. Talk to someone. Acknowledge the weight you’re feeling. List the parts of the load that’s creating the overwhelm. Listen openly to the objective insights that person can share about how you can address your current challenge. 
  2. Pick a lane. Address the one element of the load that can most easily be addressed.
  3. Put systems in place to prevent the return to the state of overload. There are ways to avoid it. 
  We wrap up this episode with a debate about whose analogy works best for the sensation of being overwhelmed.
