When you are feeling overwhelmed and can’t think clearly all you can do at that point is the next thing and eventually everything will take care of itself.

It may be a little difficult to ascertain the next thing but this certainly is the easiest thing to do when you are not able to look too far ahead.  And eventually your feeling of being paralyzed will pass.

If you can force yourself to look at your life and do what is most pressing, then go to the next thing, your life becomes more manageable no matter how you feel.

So the next time you can not see too far ahead figure out what the next thing in your life needs done and do it and eventually your life will settle down and feel more manageable.  The next thing should always be your goal.
