In this brief advice segment, the speaker defines workplace overwhelm as the combination of high demand and uncertainty. To alleviate it, she proposes two complementary approaches: (1) create predictability by making decisions, delegating, and increasing certainty about future outcomes; and (2) lessen demand by enlisting help, distributing tasks, and prioritizing a limited set of focus items. She offers concrete reflective questions for each approach, suggesting that applying one or both strategies can eliminate the feeling of overwhelm.

You're feeling overwhelmed at work? Try this. So overwhelm is high demand plus uncertainty. So if you're feeling overwhelmed, either you need to lessen the demand or you need to create certainty. What can I do to create predictability? Do I need to make decisions? Do I need to delegate tasks? What do I need to do to create more certainty for my future? The other end of the spectrum is you can lessen the demand. Who can I get to help me with these tasks? How can I disperse these? How can I prioritize and only focus on a few things at once? If you do one or both of those things, you can eliminate your overwhelm.
