Strategies for Avoiding Overwhelm and Making Progress

When facing big projects, it's important to shift from feeling overwhelmed to choosing a specific amount of time to devote to the task. Instead of aiming for complete organization, focus on making small improvements in a set time frame. Recognize the need for small manageable steps and consistency rather than trying to tackle everything at once. By giving yourself permission to make progress in small increments and staying consistent, you can achieve long-term organization and avoid backsliding.
