How to Deal with Information Overload after a Course

I have just spent the Friday and Weekend on a Course and have come back absolutely Fried. Have you ever had that?  Your head is spinning from all the information that was given to you and you don't know where to begin to digest and absorb it all.  You have learned so much new stuff in a short space of time and have loads of things you now need to do and action and you're feeling overwhelmed by it all. Don't worry you're not the only person out there to feel this way.  

If you find yourself in this situation, the simplest thing to do is to do nothing for now.  Give yourself a couple of days to take it onboard, mull it over and let it settle.  Yes you may well have loads of actions that you could be taking, but for now, let your mind put itself back in order.  Then set yourself a time when you know you will be alert and interested and go back to the course work notes you made and make a list of the actions that you think are the most relevant and important for you.  Deal with them and if you feel there are more actions that you need to take from the course then set another time and do the same thing.  You won't be able to deal with everything at once, but when you start making bite sized tasks that you can deal with you'll begin to feel more in control.
