WhatsApp overwhelm is real! It’s ridiculous how many messages I receive on a daily basis. In this post, I share my tips for avoiding WhatsApp overwhelm.
How to avoid WhatsApp overwhelm
Overcoming Overwhelm
Overcoming overwhelm has been a challenge for me, but I’ve really started to manage this more effectively lately. When I feel overwhelmed, it manifests as brain fog, paralysis, headaches, and more. I feel that I have so much to do but I can’t do anything because my brain has stopped working and my head hurts so badly. It is debilitating. Sometimes I just sit at my desk crying.
One of my previous managers suggested I might have ADHD because overwhelm is one of the symptoms. I then went onto see a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD. He said that when people come to him with overwhelm it’s usually a symptom of either ADHD or Autism. In my case he diagnosed me with ADHD.
I chose not to take medication because I feel I can manage the symptoms and the overwhelm with my Happiness practices. In this article I share my tips on overcoming overwhelm.

Just Do It
Part two in our dealing with procrastination series
Sometimes the best way to deal with procrastination is to ‘just do it’. My default behaviour is to avoid, delay and make excuses. Although I’ve often found the advice to ‘just do it’ a little harsh, I find that when I do that it usually benefits me.
Bang a Nasty Job Off
Part one in our dealing with procrastination series
I would hazard a guess that most, if not all of us, procrastinate on a regular basis. One way to overcome procrastination is to “bang a nasty job off” (BANJO), in the words of my friend Emjet Hassan. Brian Tracy calls it “Eating a frog for breakfast.” The idea is that we do our most difficult task or tasks first thing in the morning.
