Re: Stress

[(Anonymous)]

This is going to echo what the other anon said, but: at least for me, the biggest thing that creates anxiety is letting a project exist as this sort of massive, formless, structureless terror that all you can do is avoid. It leads directly to catastrophizing and anxiety. The best way to approach it - like anything else - is to define the project, to understand all the parts of what you need to do, to break the whole thing down into discrete tasks, and then to start working on it. Nothing is better - for me at least - than understanding that actually the project isn't some kind of nameless terror, it's a task that I know how to do, and then making actual headway on it and starting to knock it on the head and tear bloody chunks out of it.

and thank you, too :)

It's good to know that other people feel the same way and have similar strategies for dealing with things like this. It's just really overwhelming sometimes, and the culture at the department is all pretty much "pretend all your work just appears with no effort" so it's hard to find people to talk to.

THIS. I get the same way about big projects. They just seem so intimidating and hopeless that I end up psyching myself out before I've even begun. I depend upon lists not just for organization, but to define what I need to do so it's less scary and more approachable.
