Have you ever felt overwhelmed by a massive task that loomed overhead?  Have you ever felt like the enormity of what lay before us was just too much and you didn’t even know where to start?  Have you ever felt like you were just barely staying afloat, just barely keeping your head above water? 

In Episode 36 of "Warrior: The Art of War for Life" I share eight actions that can help us overcome overwhelm in our lives and manage massive tasks. They are:

  1. Divide & Conquer

  2. Quantify the Problem: Stick to the Numbers

  3. Focus on Structure: Work Smarter, Not Just Harder

  4. Give it a Name

  5. Start with Established Tactics & Best Practices

  6. Innovate with Special Tactics

  7. Find Openings & Opportunities: Exploit Weaknesses

  8. Capitalize on Strengths

With inspiring quotes from Mark Twain, Bruce Lee, Laura Bates, Steven Fullmer, Yogi Sadhguru, Tony Robbins, and many more, if you've ever felt overwhelmed and wondered how to get out of it, then this episode is for you!
