Hello!
Feeling overwhelmed by the tasks you need to complete is a common experience especially as a beginning homesteader and busy mom, but there are several strategies you can use to manage these feelings and stay on top of your work:
Prioritize tasks: Start by making a list of all the tasks you need to complete. Then, prioritize them based on urgency and importance. This will help you focus on the most critical tasks first and avoid feeling like you need to do everything at once.
Break tasks down: If a task feels too big or complex, break it down into smaller, more manageable pieces. This will help you feel like you're making progress and give you a sense of accomplishment as you complete each smaller task.
Set realistic goals: Be realistic about what you can accomplish in a given amount of time. Don't set yourself up for failure by trying to do too much too quickly. I honestly try to fit too many things into a day sometimes and it gets frustrating, so I have been working on being more realistic with my goals because I am not superwoman and neither are you….even though we feel like it sometimes!!!!!
Take breaks: It's important to take breaks throughout the day to recharge and refresh your mind. This can help you avoid burnout and stay focused on your tasks.
Get organized: Use tools like calendars, planners, and to-do lists to help you stay organized and on track. This can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed by keeping everything in one place and breaking down your work into smaller, more manageable pieces. I know I have mentioned this before, but I used to buy a calendar every year, but I am a visual person, so for me it it the weekly calendar on the fridge for the whole family with what is happening and meals and then my phone alerts on the calendar is what  I do best with because I would use the paper planners at the beginning of the year, but didn’t follow through all year, so they just didn’t work for me~plus I didn’t have them with me all the time like I do with my phone if I need to add an appointment or activity.
 
Remember, feeling overwhelmed is normal, but there are things you can do to manage those feelings and stay on top of your work. With these strategies, you can approach your tasks with a clear mind and a sense of control.
