I had a really insightful comment to make about this. Demonstrating how I resonated with it, yet again! And then you go and show me squirrels landing in superhero poses!! And now that's all I can think about. How did I not know that they did this!?
So thanks for the article, I really did resonate and enjoy it, even if I can't remember the point I was going to make and much more importantly thank you for the squirrels! You can bet your life I'll find a way to squeeze one into a post of mine coming soon!
Happy to Karl! What you are writing about Karl is needed in these times of deep division. We can all extend our empathy a little greater to better find a common ground, and you are change maker in that.
It’s funny how things appear when you need them! Last week I was feeling overwhelmed - read that as overstimulated - and this is a great reminder to start my week off on the right foot. Thank you, Colette!
Solid article with some key takeaways for managing overstimulation. The advice on limiting multitasking and prioritizing brain resets is crucial. To add to the practical strategies, I highly recommend time blocking on your calendar. Literally schedule in your focus time so others can see your availability (or lack thereof) and you can protect that uninterrupted work. Also, a simple but powerful tactic: when you're in a meeting, be in the meeting. Close Slack, ignore email notifications, and actually focus on the conversation.

Oh, I too notice the squirrels as well! Thanks Mark for reading and the feedback. I look forward to your future post.
We truly underestimate the power of a reset.
My reset is usually going to the mountains. No panic checking my phone to see if my boss wants to know any update.
After a few hours and with my mind refreshed, the problem got solved by itself.
Thank you so much for the mention and inclusion in your substack Collette. Cheers!
