Kevin Simpson teaches a method for handling financial stress by breaking overwhelming problems into smaller time blocks. Write down your biggest challenge, then work backward through year, month, day, hour, and right now until it feels doable.
Overwhelm can make us feel paralyzed. So I want to introduce you to a technique that can break you from that paralysis and start moving you forward. It's called block control. You can get these tips and strategy sheets@recessionresponse.com write down the biggest challenge you're facing as your forever goal or challenge. Like, I need to, you know, pay my mortgage and I'm frightened I'm not gonna be able to. So write down paying the mortgage that makes you feel overwhelmed. Well, what can you do in the next year to make that a reality and write it down that may still give you a sense of overwhelm? And so we keep on doing is going back in these blocks. Was there something you can do in the next month that won't make you feel overwhelmed in the moment? And if that's still overwhelming, you go back to one day, one hour, and then even just in the moment. And the idea is to start compressing down that overwhelm into small bite sized blocks by doing this reverse engineering. So hope that helps.
