I have so much work to do and no desire to do it. I know I need to and I want to but I just can't make it happen. I really hate this part of myself

When I get in that bind I remember my history and that I usually get things done on time that I "have to" get done. Realizing that allows me to relax a bit and quit stressing and accenting the procrastinating and live more in the moment.
So, I grab something I am supposed to read or something I want to read to help me with the task, etc. I get "started" in some way that I enjoy and, once I'm caught up in the task, I usually work on it awhile/until I finish it. Another tactic is to list it all and plan it all, just get it all out on paper, a plan, and that gets it out of your head where the "so much" is not swirling around in there where you're unable to swat at it and keep it still

 I'll probably end up working late and doing everything (meaning the stuff I absolutely, positively must do) in the last couple hours of work. Then I'll be more overwhelmed tomorrow. Argh

I did some mindfulness and pomodoro technique, and it worked... but damn... how exhausting it is... so difficult to maintain. |

I am totally the same so I feel your pain. I find it helps to break it into small, manageable tasks and to do 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.

I understand too, there is so much to do and I always say "tomorrow". Tomorrow I will do it. Maybe today I will do something. Got to get off my butt first though!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
