Feeling overwhelmed is normal
It can be overwhelming when you start in UX design. There’s so much to learn, so much new stuff to keep up with. Things move fast, there’s new information and new tools all the time. I tried to get my head around everything for a while, but it was too much. The more I tried to do the more I struggled, my brain got foggy.
Larry Kim (Mobile Monkey) wrote a great article on ‘How multitasking is killing your brain’
Multitasking has also been found to increase production of cortisol, the stress hormone. Having our brain constantly shift gears pumps up stress and tires us out, leaving us feeling mentally exhausted.
