[New post] When you need a to do list BEFORE you attack your to do list
productivemisfit posted: " It's the first of September. I diligently wrote out a to do list of things that NEED to be accomplished. But in order to tackle the to do list I also had to write out a "getting back to being human to do list" and tackle THAT before I even though"
I diligently wrote out a to do list of things that NEED to be accomplished. But in order to tackle the to do list I also had to write out a "getting back to being human to do list" and tackle THAT before I even thought about tackling the big stuff.
It's 1.15 and I'm one task away from being almost human again.
It's days like this, when everything feels so monumentally huge that I want to hide under the duvet and not come out. The wiring in my ADHD brain keeps tripping and I just can't seem to get my shit sorted.
I wanted to write, but in order to write I needed to clean the house, but before I could clean the house I needed to write down what needed to be done most, and before I could do that I needed to listen to some music to get my vibe going, but before I could do that I needed to have a cup of tea and sit quietly to settle my brain, but before I could do even that, the teeth needed brushing, but on the way to the bathroom I got distracted by the kitchen floor and cleaned that, and so on and so on and so on....
And now its 1.20pm and by some miracle I have managed to do all of those things, squeezed in a couple of phone calls and have the damned tea..... but it's exhausting... and I need to come up with some ambush strategies for my brain.
The point of getting all those things done was so that I could actually sit down in relative calm and tidiness to work out my writing goals for the month. So far I've been winging it.... flying by the seat of my frayed at the inner thigh pants and just winging it. And that's good in so far as it keeps things fresh and interesting but not so good on the money making front.
And so I find myself here, this blog post is procrastination in action. I'm writing this in order to put off what I really need to be doing. You're welcome.
Do you have days like this?
Days when you'd much rather be doing anything else other than the thing you're meant to be doing?
I mean I washed the kitchen floor!
I wish I could say that my usual strategies are working, clearly they're not. The question is, am I going to beat myself up about it. Of course I'm not!
Often times, days are just like this. And we get through them. I don't know how in all honesty, but we do. This day will end and hopefully another one will begin and we get to try and figure out the same shit all over again.
Happily, tomorrow I also wont have to tackle the laundry, the dishes, the bathroom or the kitchen floor.
Which begs the question, how on earth will I manage to distract myself from matters of importance upon the morrow.
