If you want things to be different to being ‘on the go’ every day and then collapsing into the numbness of screen time…The chances are that you are experiencing overwhelm.

When the demands placed on our attention exceed our capacity to mentally process them, the symptoms of overwhelm begin to show up.

We are going to show you how freeing up time to take on a new project is not only possible, but essential if we are going to keep things fresh and growing and avoid succumbing to the stagnation of the daily grind.

We’ve compiled 5 strategies and 3 weapons for you to implement to free up your time. 

We have found that the key to planning and starting a new project begins with getting 4 essential pillars in place before we begin. These pillars are set by asking 4 indispensable questions.

Pillar 1: WHY. Sharpening up our notion on the purpose and value of the project lays the strong foundation that every project needs. You’re tapping into the emotional motivation to get started and to keep pushing on with it when it runs into any challenges. 

A team that knows how to manage their time will be less stressed, higher achieving and most importantly of all, they will have more room left over for the things they enjoy and the things that develop them.

It seems there is always stuff flying into the inbox, the in-tray, and no sooner is something scratched off the To Do list, 3 more things get added onto the end of it.

Spending most of our time in ‘just about keeping up’ mode is a serious culprit for why so many of us feel stressed when we’re ‘On’ and too knackered to do anything meaningful or enjoyable when we’re ‘Off’. But there is hope!

Not always harried and stressed by looming deadlines and unexpected set-backs, but calm and in control, planning and doing things ahead of time…. This leaves the headspace we need to stay cool and sort it when the inevitable glitch/crisis/hiccup/catastrophe does strike.

We have a list of things To-Do we’d like you to work with. It’s a little ridiculous, so prepare yourself for a fun, team-bonding experience! We’ll share the To-Do list with you, then we’ll give instructions on how to run this activity. This list is ready for you to print it out or to copy onto on a large sheet of paper.

By investing in resilience training, an organisation opens up its teams’ awareness to the vast resource for creativity, problem-solving, individual and group achievement and enjoyment that every member holds. 

The research based insights, practical strategies and the motivation to actively experiment with the learning that resilience training provides sets in motion a culture change.

Besides being fun and interesting, and perhaps ticking a few well-being related boxes, what will it actually do for their team and for their organisation?

On a very basic level, the difference that resilience training makes is that it brings awareness to the multiple components that contribute to resilience.

Stress Management courses can be a mixed bag. I’ve heard horror stories of trainers handing out fidget spinners, telling delegates that when they are feeling overwhelmed they should just to think ‘Swan Legs’ (from what I can gather that means pretend outwardly that things are going smoothly and are under control, while under the surface you must paddle away like mad to try to meet all the demands placed on you)
