Well, it doesn't always help to try to power through all our daily responsibilities. But this can help: Break up the big tasks Into smaller ones and attend to them one at a time. When you start to feel overwhelmed, take a brief break from all the work and get your mind refreshed then come back. You need energy to finish the goals, so conserve energy, eat healthy nourishing meals and get proper night rests. Attend to the most important tasks first. See if there are tasks you can delegate or automate, etc. Also listening to calm refreshing music while working can help take your mind off the mental load. I hope this helps. Good luck with your first day at work.
