Anyone who has driven a car in New York City or other huge metropolitan areas is frustratingly aware of “gridlock” --- traffic congestion so severe that vehicles block entire networks of intersecting streets, causing all traffic in every direction to come to a complete standstill with absolutely no where to go. Unfortunately, gridlock can also affect us in our work life. We have all experienced it. I recall times of becoming painfully aware of gridlock when I've suddenly realized that I have am juggling so many tasks and responsibilities at one time that I don't know which one to handle next. For most of us, when we reach that point, we simply shut down for awhile and nothing gets done. We no longer have a clear perspective on priorities, so we come to a complete standstill. Fortunately, although gridlock cannot always be prevented, there are proven ways to minimize how often it stops you in your tracks.

First: strive to set manageable goals each day.

Nothing discourages a person more than physically, mentally, and literally being unable to complete what has been started because of unrealistic expectations. I remember a great guitar player who said that most people fail in their attempts to learn to play a musical instrument because, when beginning, they pledge: “I'll practice three hours a day.” Realistically, almost no one is able to practice that many hours a day and when they don't, they grow increasingly frustrated, then eventually quit. The way to learn, said this guitar player, is to promise yourself something very simple: “I will practice 15 minutes a day Just 15 minutes.” Everyone can spare 15 minutes. If all you play is 15 minutes you will keep from backsliding, and during most days, once you get started, you'll find a way of squeezing in enough extra practice to actually get better. Research has shown that the more we feel in control of our work the less stressed out we get (and vice versa). So --- be realistic. It's great that you want to achieve as much as possible but don't forget the old truism about the only way to eat a 2,000 pound elephant: “one bite at a time.” Second: remember that your head is connected to the rest of your body.

Gridlock is an extension of stress. It is your mind “freaking out” and convincing itself that it can't possibly do everything that needs to get done when it needs to get done. Sometimes the way to solve gridlock is to ignore it for awhile. That is counter-intuitive because part of your freakout no doubt has to do with pressing deadlines and timetables. However --- often the only way to reset and reboot is to get away for a few minutes from everything that's causing you to grind to a stop. Physical activity, even as simple as a walk in the fresh air, can break the mental blocks that are keeping you from moving forward. This is an individual thing: some folks meditate, others hit a punching bag --- whatever you choose, step away, put your body to another use for just a bit and you'll find that your mind will follow and will begin to relax and refocus.

Third: know that you are not alone.

Gridlock comes fast and often to those who think that they are alone like islands in the work place. The feeling of being alone causes panic and eventually causes a shutdown. As good as you might be at your job, there are certain times when you just shouldn't --- and can't --- go it alone. Reach out to your colleagues. Sometimes it's as simple as just venting. Many times, once you hear yourself express the details of problem situations, the solutions suddenly become more reachable. Reduce your stress and solve your gridlock by listening to the viewpoint of others. Accept help when needed and know that this is not a sign of weakness or surrender --- it is a healthy sign of teamwork and benefitting from the fact that much more usually can be done together than alone. Every working day is like driving in a huge city --- there are plenty of traffic jams. Stay in control of how you navigate and you can beat the gridlock and get to where you really want to go.
