When you are faced with more than one urgent issue to solve you have to stay focused.
Think! What must be done right now? What can I prepare now for in an hour or two? What can I pick up again later?
One of my coaching students sent me a message to ask for an urgent help as he was going to be evicted the next day. Few minutes later I got a call from my babysitter saying that my daughter had ear ache and she wouldn't stop crying. So, I took the number of the lady to call to see if the eviction could be postponed. Then called the doctor to make an urgent appointment. Then called the babysitter to get her ready and dressed, so I could immediately drive home from work, get her in the car and drive to the doctor. Then when we go back (result was she had fever and and ear infection) she received Paracetamol and the babysitter helped with the dinner whilst I called the lady regarding the eviction issue.
Waves can be scarily high around you but if you make sure you are organised, write down all things that need doing and then work through them one by one.
Think in little steps and get those ticked of your list one by one!
