slowly painstakingly learning that if i feel overwhelmed by having like 15 things on my plate i can literally just lie down and not-look-at-a-screen and wait - for over an hour if necessary - until one of the things feels doable and then do it

it sounds kinda too simple when i write it out like this but this is the fruit of flailing around aimlessly for a month straight

i think i’ve been forcing myself to transition between tasks too quickly almost my whole life

it turns out that “try to force myself to do the thing right now, fail, procrastinate for 2 weeks” is actually much slower than “wait 5-100 minutes until the thing feels doable” even though the second feels like i’m being way too luxurious about time

I was/ sort of still am in a similar situation with tasks I have committed to and think I know how it feels. For me focusing on one task at a time till completion and incorporating some form of exercise as a release works well.
