If you have multiple tasks, making a to-do list will help you keep them organized. Write down all the smaller tasks that need to be done, rather than looking at your goals as one big task. Being able to check off smaller tasks, rather than looking at everything you need to do all at once, is a well to keep from being overwhelmed. This can be done in both your academic, professional, and personal life.

Having a good and solid daily planning structure is important in helping manage a productive life. People who are undertaking any form of self-improvement or restricting in their lives, will usually get overwhelmed just by thinking about all the tasks they need to do to reach their goals. Most of the time they to underestimate how achievable a goal is by breaking the process into steps and these tasks into part their daily task. Soon their goals become easier to accomplish and improve on over a long period of time. Having a daily, oriented towards your personal goals plan will likely solve these problems, in going after hard-to-reach achievements. If a goal list/schedule is broken up into smaller goals set up throughout the day, week, or month it is less will be more likely to not get overwhelmed by them.
