Get Over the feeling of Overwhelmed

This contemporary world has taught us a zillion new things but considering the capacity of brain we are still using a very small percentage of it.

Many a times because of so many tasks to accomplish we end up doing none. This is known as the feeling of overwhelmed where in an individual goes into a state of shell from where he finds it very difficult to come out just because of so many things at his/ he plate.
Right the moment we reach our work place, the list of to do tasks starts playing our mind. Like we have been to a course and there is a lot to apply in clinic. But we get caught in the already existing challenges of everyday dentistry and nothing happens for a long long time.
There are examples of planning to install an OPG or any other latest modality but we fail to understand where to start from.
Prioritize is the only way forward to overcome the feeling of overwhelm.
Here is chart that makes things crystal clear as far as prioritization is concerned.
