For many it is very easy to become overwhelmed. Overwhelm is one of those emotional messengers that tells you you are doing too many things too fast. The feeling is often confused with anxiousness and frustration. The call to action that the messenger delivers is to reprioritize. And that is where the power of 3 comes in.
When the messenger comes to visit you take those 10 or 20 things that are disturbing your peace and write them down. Next cluster similar disturbances into clusters of 3. Next rank the importance of the individual clusters of 3 from 1 to 10, 10 being most important. Then within each cluster you can assign a ranking of importance. Now go back and systematically knock off the items that are within your power and ability.
We humans can only think a single thought at a time and not very many of us can manage more than 3 items at a time we’ll. Doing this process of “chunking” allows us to feel a little bit more centered and balanced.
