Creeping feeling of stress

I don't stress easily. Actually, I don't remember I would have been stressed ever. But recently, I think I have had a bit of it.

I think I know pretty well the reason for it as well. My transformation to a new role at work. While I'm really excited about it, at the same time it brings so many new things I need to learn I feel a bit overwhelmed. But that's nothing new. I know I'm capable of learning, and in the matter of fact love it.

The real reasons are the lingering responsibilities from my old role. The switch is still not official, I still need to take care of my old duties at the same time I'm already taking care of the new ones. I know I should get a proper conclusion to those old things before moving forward. But I have been too eager to move on, already taking quite a bit of the new work.

Unfortunately, I can't do much about the situation with the old role. Until there is a replacement for me I'm still stuck with it. So the only option is to tone down the new work until that happens. I just need to hope it happens fast enough.
