About this title

Synopsis

Struggling? Juggling? Drowning? Argh!

These experiences of overwhelm can be a common part of a normal day or week in our life. Yes, the world can be an overwhelming place.

We might have an emotional experience of being overwhelmed. We can experience the ‘too much on’ of workload - too much to do and not enough time in which to do it. Or we might feel like we’re submerged under an endless pile of information, reports, books and reading.

At other times we can just be plain ‘drowning in it’, from a wicked combination of all three: emotions, workload and information.

In today’s world, it’s these three that can be the cause of repeated and unending overwhelm. And it’s not good for us. Burn-out and health issues are waiting. We need to find ways to acknowledge our emotions, manage our workload, and filter all of that information.

Our overwhelm CAN be outsmarted. Using the powerful techniques shared by Lynne Cazaly, you’ll find new ways to make sense of overwhelm, new ways to work, and new ways to cope with information. You’ll be all over overwhelm… it won’t be all over you.
