When the magnitude of the work you need to do feels overwhelming, career coach and author Luciana Paulise's first piece of advice is to slow down, take a deep breath and try to think clearly about the tasks at hand. Once you can focus, Paulise suggests that you prioritize your tasks at the start of the day, accept a level of "good enough" on work you may be able to go back and improve on later and review your progress at the end of the day and reward yourself for what you've completed.
