My personal experience that might help others

Hello,

Like most of yours, my life is always really busy, in fact, for the past few months, I had too many side hustles besides 2 big projects going on at work.

I've in the recent weeks started to approach shutdown from overworking.

This week, I almost hit a breaking point. I finally stopped and sat down away from any device, and started thinking for myself. I suddenly remembered about journaling, I took out a pen and paper, started simply writing down all my thoughts, no specific order, no spelling enforcements, just writing (I disposed of the paper at the end). It felt amazing.

I also always used to be the very organised one, and since I was so busy recently things have starting to get messy, which disturbed me a lot.

So I added another part after the journaling, still with the same paper, writing a detailed schedule for the day (that day only), then I logged it onto my digital calendar. The result was just fascinating, it's been a long time since I had such a productive day.

TLDR; I was beyond overwhelmed, my new technique I start every day now is taking a pen and paper and just writing down everything that goes on in my mind. At the end, I write myself a schedule for that day (full detailed schedule), I then log the schedule onto my digital calendar, and destroy the paper.

I hope someone finds this helpful. All the best.
