Overwhelm

Sharpen and click, but now there seems to be just too much, the list of things to do, things needing to be done, the list has moved from long to overwhelming. The rule for getting rid of that overwhelm is to break down into steps and discard what is not. But this overwhelm is driven by a feeling that I have no say. I cannot affect things so I have to answer two questions, firstly do I want to affect one or more thing, and if so, what level am I prepared to fight to.
