Lately, this has been creeping up on me a lot.
My new business is growing faster than I ever imagined. I'm still trying to recover from the damage of the business I shut down earlier of this year.
It just really feels like I'm being pulled 500 directions at once, With my time.
My brain also really wants a day off!
When you feel like this, It can seem like you have to quit everything to keep yourself afloat. But here are some tactics that can help you keep going.

Build A Strong Foundation With whatever you Do

I made this mistake more than once back then, Rapidly building up a business before I even had a foundation set up. It was a bad way of doing things and as a result. My business began to fall.

You need to build a foundation. Start from the basics. Sometimes you can get away with skipping small steps. But often those are there for a reason, and you should avoid skipping them.
Not having a proper foundation can cause you a lot of stress later down the road.

Look For Opportunities

Many of us forget that there are a lot of opportunities out there.
We get so hung up on our struggles that we don't look for "help." Sometimes help can be in the form of software, Websites or free lancers. They can take a lot off your load and make your life easier.

I've been having trouble taking care of myself lately. Because all of my efforts have gone into work.
I realized one day when I felt ill, That I hadn't eaten much over the last few days.
So I found a food place that will deliver healthy meals to my door ready to eat, So I could focus on my work rather than cooking. This made me feel much better and more motivated because I had the energy to get work done. And I wasn't scrambling to cook myself something.
Whenever you are struggling, Chances are, Someone else is struggling too.
And when a lot of people have the same issue, sometimes an Entrepreneur will step in and build a business around solving your issue. So don't be afraid to spend a little time digging around looking for a way to make your life easier!

Block Out Whats Unnecessary

We have so many distractions these days! Sometimes the little pinging sound from your phone, People calling you, Your Facebook making noise, Is the cause of your stress.
All of these things seem "Urgent, " but they may not be important to address right now. Don't be afraid to shut your phone off for a couple of hours, Ban yourself from Facebook. Or do whatever you can to block out all that stuff that you need to ignore right now. Most of it can wait! You can address it later once you are done with the task you care currently working on.

Know When To take a break

Sometimes you may indeed need a break, You may not think it's necessary, but everyone needs to relax, and de-stress at times. By taking a day off once in a while, It will allow you to come back that much more motivated. When you never take a break, you will gradually get more and more worn out to the point you can't even function.
And your quality of work will greatly suffer as a result.

I have been on steemit for close to a month, I have heard good things about you.
I have never been a social creature, so this is a little trying for me...I am slowly learning the ropes,and adding people as I go...there is so much on here that I am suffering from overload...It is hard learning to be a groupie....lol...but you come highly recommended!
so I am adding you to the list.

namaste!

Thanks for the post! it is very useful for me =D Ill follow you

Thank you so much

Did you design those tshirts?

Yes I did :)

You did a good job and it's a good idea. Many crypto projects also would benefit if someone could sell shirts to promote their memes.

Although I bought the cute clipart on them :) I haven't had time to make my own clip arts hehe.

Great Post ! Agreed with your Lines !! Post deserve upvotes !!

Thank you

Welcome !

Have been overwhelmed with bad times in my business lately and i tried to seek solace in Steemit.....The Help in form of Software and website

Aww! I'm glad :) Steemit helps me a lot too.

Steemit helps everyone :) Unfortunately it is human nature to judge and it is also human nature to follow others like sheep. These two combined= censorship, you don't think so?

You did some amazing postings. The positivity is really feelable! ♠

Every success consumes time. Just wait it out and do not overrush things. As I am a business owner myself I know there are a lot of struggles. But my advice would be to stay focused on your main goal and don't be distracted by things that do not matter. Like to follow your journey.

I think all of these points go back to the 7 habits of highly effective people.love it. Thanks for sharing.resteemed and upvoted.
