Hi there! I'm also a fairly new barista (4 months) something that i noticed that helped me is taking evening/closing shifts. They're usually a lot more calmer (especially week days) and in turn it's easier to bar. Another thing I would strongly recommend is just to ask for help when you need it. At my store all the shifts say just to ask for help. It's the best thing someone can do becuase while it might inconvenience to someone at least there's someone with a bit more experience helping you and that way things get out faster. If you get overwhelmed somewhere you should ask the shift if you can go somewhere that doesn't overwhelm you. Like restock, or a trash run, or cleaning cafe; something like that. Or if what you're have if what you're having trouble with remembering how to make the drinks one of my shifts told me when they were new they would just go on Quizlet and play them 😂. Also the biggest thing is to be confident. When you're confident you get into the zone and it's easier to do things (but don't be arrogant they're different). I hope this helps! Try not to stress too much :).
