A practical approach when feeling overwhelmed by goals:

In this brief clip from a recorded talk on workplace stress, I share a simple yet powerful method for managing goal-related stress, whether those goals are set by management, yourself, or circumstances.

The key? Start by listing ALL factors related to your goal. Then, sort them into three categories:

·       What's within your immediate control

·       What you can influence

·       What's outside your control entirely

Here's the crucial shift: Focus your energy on what you can control or influence, rather than fixating on external factors beyond your reach. Most of us do the opposite, spending valuable mental energy on circumstances we can't change.
