Overwhelmed- What Can you DO!

Do you have 100 different projects, ideas, or just NEED to get things done?  I know I can at least count a couple dozen projects I want to get done TODAY.  Always something to do, right?  Well then how do I prioritize all these things I want to get done plus the day to day tasks as well!  Sometimes I feel like I'm being pulled in many different directions and I just give up then nothing gets done.  Not good!  This year I want to work on my prioritizing capabilities.

• Make lists~when I write it down I can see what I'm facing.  Then I'll make sure to write down the steps to finish each project.  Best part will be crossing off when completed.
• Set priorities-~what needs to be done now, next week, and next month.  Knowing me I'll even have a year slot, lol!
• Focus~ this is probably the hardest for me.  I love doing 10 things at one time.  When I pick a task I need give my full attention! 
• Set time limits~dedicate a certain amount of time to each task.  Set a timer up would help.
• JUST SAY NO! My biggest downfall- if a friend, family, school, kids or even hubby ask me to do something I pretty much drop what I am doing and do that.  I need to stop that.

I'm thinking at night is the best time for me to plan my next day.  I want 2012 to be a productive year not just for myself but for my family too! 

Do you have any ways you like to share on how you deal with being OVERWHELMED?
