Great job Sherri,

I found a few of the tips quite helpful lol I sometimes get a little OCD (or CDO as I like to call it…right alphabetical order) so everything becomes a nightmare of frustration and anxiety.

For me what helps the most is get the ball rolling, if you start thinking about every little detail you have to do and how your going to do it, it turns you off even before starting, ohh and reward yourself hahaha, for each thing well done I do I eat a piece of chocolate =o, self gratification, yay! =).

Excellent post, Sherri.

It is easy to put ourselves in a nervous wreck when we have a lot to do but not that much time to do it.

Sometimes it is better to just relax, enjoy the moment, and start small. There’s no need getting into a fret about something that we only have so much control over and isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things.

Sherri,

As a Vegetarian, I would say “how do you eat whole watermelon, one bite at a time…”
I agree, I have 9 months and 4.5yrs old, it sure is overwhelming…slow and one thing at the time sure helps. Thanks for suggestions.

I think it’s also a good idea to just get started. Sometimes, just getting started is the hardest part. It’s easy to freak yourself out and build up a huge amount of anxiety if you stare at a project for too long before diving right in. Usually, after you get started, the rest comes much more easily.

That’s awesome Marci! It’s funny how a lot of us tend to go into panic mode when we look at everything that has to get done. Yes, it’s a lot if you try to do it all at once but doing a little bit at a time quickly puts that panic to rest. I’m glad you’re taking the same approach! Good luck with your party

I had to laugh when I read your post this morning! We decided yesterday to invite a couple families over this weekend for a little get-together. No big deal. Just bring some fingerfoods and the house is already decorated…but then I started to think about the bathrooms that needed cleaned and the kitchen that needed to be scoured and the food that had to be made!! In the midst of my panic, I wrote down a plan. The plan is to do just a little over the three days before the party and it will all get done and I won’t be stressed out!
