Default Stresses at work with PCS

I'm in month 6 of my recovery and I've been at work since month 2 from part time to full time.

I'm struggling to a point now where if I do what I used to do in activity pre-injury, I'm going to break. I've limited my meetings to one in the morning and one in the afternoon if there are any scheduled. As well, I've limited my involvement in certain projects so my anxiety level doesn't get to an unmanageable level. I do two projects maximum per day. I also get periodic breaks in intervals of work so that my mind refreshes.

But now I find it difficult to keep to my schedule and my involvement due to the nature of the projects, and it's getting busier every day. Then there's emails. I get so irritated and annoyed with the volume and length of emails flying around. Sometimes I just cannot read them. And when I don't read them, I miss something important and it doesn't get addressed a certain way. Then I have to "let it go". I do a lot of that to preserve my sanity.

My therapist says to DO LESS and I'm having a difficult time to do that.

Any suggestions in how I can control what seems like a whirlwind of activity?
