Re: F!S, do you have strategies to break procrastination cycles and negative stress?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm like you, having lots to do just paralyses me. I'm joining the "write a list!" chorus, but I break down allll (literally all, even the everyday life things) the things that need to get done on a given day into tiny jobs, and write them down in a list. I really need the encouragement of crossing a whole lot of things off my list and I include all the basic mundane daily tasks in said list. Like, the beginning of my to do list on a busy day will be something like:

-Wake up
-Get out of bed
-Make breakfast
-Eat breakfast
-Brush teeth
-Have shower
-Get dressed
etc etc

So when I cross off those things I feel like a have productivity momentum going, even though I've not done any of the looming major jobs. But the momentum means I'm more likely to actually do the major jobs. It's all about tricking my brain into thinking I'm already being productive, so I ay as well keep going. Break the real jobs down into ridiculously small pieces too, so you keep getting the "YES I AM CROSSING THINGS OFF I AM A PRODUCTIVITY SUPERSTAR" feeling. You can end up with a giant mega to do list when you break it all down like this, but each successive individual task is non-intimidating, which I personally really need.

tl;dr I trick myself into thinking I am productive, which in turn can make me actually be productive.

(This may not work for you, but I love it. This method has saved my butt on many occasions.)
