Ever notice how we instinctively focus on the most challenging parts of a new assignment?

I call this the "doomsday scenario" response—when wedeclare defeat before even starting.

Here's a better approach I've developed:

1️⃣ Break tasks into smaller chunks

2️⃣ Identify the "low-hanging fruit" you can complete quickly

3️⃣ Start with easiest tasks, not the hardest ones

4️⃣ Apply the 80/20 rule - tackle the achievable 80% first

5️⃣ Use parallel processing - work on easy tasks while mentally preparing for difficult ones

This strategy transforms you from a "doomsday caller" into an"achiever" by creating momentum, building confidence, and showcasing immediate progress.

What strategies help you tackle overwhelming tasks?
