Too much

I have learned a lesson.

When things get too much for you and you find yourself despairing, make a list of all the problems, things that you need to do, things that you need to resolve and things that are worrying you. It will make for tough reading. Try to tackle just one of the things on the list - the easiest, or the least worrying is fine. Then in the coming days and weeks, refer back to the list to see if you still feel the same; and cross off the things that are no longer problems. Of course, you can add new things too.

Now here's the lesson: the end point is not to cross everything off the paper. The end point is getting to the point that you don't care what's on the paper any more.
