Try To Do Things Stepwise

"Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen."

Epictetus

A cause of confusion and the consequent sense of nervousness, anxiety and nervousness is constituted by the absurd habit to want to do too things in once.

The student studies and watches at the same time the television.

The business man instead of focusing himself on the content of the letter what he is dictating, he contemporarily thinks about all the things that he should do in that day or even in that week.

Such habit is particularly insidious because it is rarely recognized.

When we feel anxious, nervous or worried thinking about the enormous workload that we will have to develop, we know there is something wrong.

This feeling of nervousness is not caused from the job but from our mental attitude.

"I should be able to complete everything now."

We become nervous because we try to do the impossible one making inevitable disappointment and sense of uselessness.

The truth is this: we can make only one thing at a time.

Only if we understand and we convince there of this simple and obvious truth we will be able to mentally stop wanting to make the things that come later.

In addition we will be able to assemble our attention and our ability to concentrate on what we are doing now.

Working in this way will feel there relaxed and free from any feeling of anxiety and from the harassing thought of the time, able therefore of to assemble us and to think about the best solution.
