How To Generate Overwhelm:
In your head, make a big pile of vitally important stuff to do.
Identify with the belief that it must be done,
sooner than possible.
Put all your attention into imagining the future.
Focus on what you don’t yet know how to do,
keeping in mind that it is essential to know
what you don’t know.- Jude Spacks, in Creativity Insightments newsletter, August 2009
I suspect you can see why I’m thinking dissertation here…the very opposite of the Growth Mindset, UnDissertation approach…
Feel like sharing how you control the Overwhelm Monster? (Note that it’s not a “taming” — you need to keep applying your strategies or it breaks out all over again — sneaky beast.)
