Are You Overwhelmed or Overcapacity?

When the going gets tough, we’ve all heard or said, “I can’t do another thing,” “I can’t show up in one more meeting," or “It’s all too much. I’m overcapacity”. But the question in this episode is, are you overcapacity or overwhelmed?

Tune in as Kimberly deciphers the difference between overcapacity and overwhelmed and asks you to evaluate which one is it? And learn when it’s time to be empowered, advocate for yourself, and put yourself in a position to execute at the highest level that is meaningful to you and does not impact your quality of work.

‍

KEY POINTS:

Do you work a 9 to 5? Or more like an 8 to 8?
The difference between overwhelmed and overcapacity
How overwhelmed can be fixed, 100%!
Evaluate which one is it? And create solutions, not just problems

‍

QUOTABLES:

“When new information is coming at you, deadlines are unclear, deliverables are flexible, it's really hard to decipher from being overwhelmed or being overcapacity.”

I just listened to Episode 22, Being an Ambitious Woman with Tiffany Aliche and was so impressed. The time just flew by as I enjoyed the solid career advice Kimberly and Tiffany shared. Documenting your accomplishments was one of the ideas that I thought was especially good -- because if YOU don't know what you accomplished and what your big wins are, you cannot possibly expect others to remember. I look forward to tuning in again.

This episode was like having a conversation with friends. Friends who have been in the trenches with you and understand corporate life.I am embarking on a new work from home morning routine and liked how Kimberly and Tara talked about having a plan but going with the flow. Some days I need coffee before mindfulness… it’s my routine I can do what feels right!Thanks ladies!
