Summary
Are you overwhelmed, or are you out of capacity?
It’s time to change the way you think about being overwhelmed. No matter how much you have going on around you, it comes down to the amount of things you can handle at once. That is the limit of your capacity. When you run over your capacity, your mind essentially breaks. It drives you, without your consent, into irrational thought, poor decision making, and overreactions to stimuli. You try to do too much, you end up in a worse place, not a better one. There’s no medal for being the most overwhelmed. Even Rob finds himself occasionally awash in outrageous, unrealistic thoughts when he tips over his capacity limit. As he will explain in this episode, the key is to understand your limits and instead of pushing past them, optimize your life for increased energy and capacity so that you never go too far.
