EP37: Are You Overwhelmed or Overcapacity?

When the going gets tough, we’ve all heard or said, “I can’t do another thing,” “I can’t show up in one more meeting," or “It’s all too much. I’m overcapacity”. But the question in this episode is, are you overcapacity or overwhelmed?

 

Tune in as Kimberly deciphers the difference between overcapacity and overwhelmed and asks you to evaluate which one is it? And learn when it’s time to be empowered, advocate for yourself, and put yourself in a position to execute at the highest level that is meaningful to you and does not impact your quality of work.

 

KEY POINTS:

- Do you work a 9 to 5? Or more like an 8 to 8?

- The difference between overwhelmed and overcapacity

- How overwhelmed can be fixed, 100%!

- Evaluate which one is it? And create solutions, not just problems

 

QUOTABLES:

“When new information is coming at you, deadlines are unclear, deliverables are flexible, it's really hard to decipher from being overwhelmed or being overcapacity.”
