Catalina has slowed my iMac

My iMac is running horrifically slow since installing Catalina yesterday. Is there a way to resolve this? By slow I mean that every time I click on an application or try to do something the spinning beach ball appears. Every single time. It has really slowed down my productivity.

After upgrading to macOS Catalina 10.15.6, the performance has become extremely slow I have i-mac Pro 27 Inch Retina 5K (Late 2014 model). The computer performance was extremely good. However, after upgrading to mac OS Catalina 10.15.6, the performance has become extremely slow. Even opening an app, system preferences, Shutting down and restarting take enormous amount of time (in terms of minutes). Is there a fix to this problem? Thank you.
