Thank you so much for this article! I have been attempting to help a teacher of mine who seems constantly overwhelmed and constantly late. She will be incredibly stressed over a deadline, but will get into long conversations about things that don’t seem to be pertinent considering the context of her life and her time availability. She will, for instance, get stuck trying to choose a color to print her syllabus on, but won’t spend time really clarifying what the syllabus is. It’s like walking around with no context. I am realizing that she lives this overwhelmed life, and without the ability to step back, she will continue to work this way. The things that I will choose to help her with, I will try to break down in a way she can understand. I appreciate this article and am grateful you took the time to write this!
