Just everyday life for a lot of us. And most days we manage to roll with it, deal with things as they come up, and get along just fine. Some days, though, the clamor of multiple competing demands on our time, energy, and attention can be just too much to bear. We feel overwhelmed and out of control.

In fifteen minutes or less you can take a few simple steps to retake control, overcome the panic, move forward, and regain workplace sanity.
