be filled with productivity. But we reach a point where we get overwhelmed by all the things we have to do. Break it down. 17 . Take a baby step. Once you get going, it will be harder to stop.

2. Do the thing you’re afraid of.

Often when we get overwhelmed, it’s because the task ahead is daunting(吓人的). There’s no easy way around it. The more we think about it, the more frightened we feel. 18 Most of the time, things are never as bad as we imagined them in our minds. 3. 19

The biggest misunderstanding is that we have to do everything on our own. But that’s simply not true. Success never es without support. So reach out. Call a friend. Ask for advice. Your munity will be more than happy to help, and you’ll feel better.

20 The harder you work for something you believe in, the better you will feel about it. And once you learn how to handle hitting a brick wall, it will get easier to deal with the next time around.

C. No one wants to live with regrets. D. No one can do everything all at once. E. So stop thinking about it, and just do it.
