TRANSCRIPT

We often treat overwhelm as a numbers problem:

Too many things + not enough time = overwhelm.

Sometimes that’s absolutely true.

But sometimes there is more happening underneath.

One task has to be perfect.

Another can’t be refused because somebody might be disappointed.

Another needs more thinking because we’re afraid of making the wrong decision.

And something else has been sitting there for three weeks because we don’t even know where to start.

Same to-do list.

Very different emotional load.

That’s why I’m interested not only in what someone is doing, but also in what’s happening underneath the behaviour.

Which one adds the most pressure for you: perfectionism, saying no, overthinking — or something completely different?
