"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within."

A 30-day positive affirmation journey with Rose

Day 10

Good Evening :D 


I support your language goal(s) and I am here for anyone who needs my help. I just feel upset when a student tells me that they hate how they sound when they speak. They often only look up to native speakers.

A native speaker is someone who had a head start and you are playing catch-up.

Enjoy the process and know that ALL of us (teachers) are proud of you!

Good luck everyone! 

PS; My personal goal is to start learning Japanese this year. The journey is going to be a long one and I hope I will take my own advice when the time comes.

Workload overwhelm is a state of chronic stress experienced when an individual is assigned a volume of tasks exceeding their capacity to complete them within a reasonable timeframe. This condition is often characterized by a sense of being perpetually behind, difficulty prioritizing, and a decline in overall performance. Workload overwhelm can manifest in various forms, including excessive project loads, unrealistic deadlines, and insufficient resources. It is a prevalent issue in contemporary organizations, often stemming from poor resource allocation, ineffective project management, or unrealistic expectations. The consequences of workload overwhelm can be detrimental to both individuals and organizations, leading to burnout, decreased job satisfaction, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Effective management strategies are essential to mitigate the negative impacts of workload overwhelm and foster a healthy work environment.

Key factors contributing to workload overwhelm include:

Inefficient task allocation: Unbalanced distribution of tasks among team members.

Poor time management: Ineffective prioritization and time allocation.

Lack of resources: Insufficient personnel, budget, or technology to support workload.

Unrealistic expectations: Demanding excessive output without considering capacity.

Organizational culture: Emphasis on overwork and presenteeism.

Addressing workload overwhelm requires a multifaceted approach involving individuals, teams, and organizations. Implementing time management techniques, effective communication, and clear expectations are essential steps. Organizations should prioritize workload management through proper resource allocation, realistic goal setting, and a focus on work-life balance. By recognizing the signs of workload overwhelm and taking proactive measures, individuals and organizations can mitigate its negative consequences and create a more sustainable work environment.
