This post is brought to you by Bot #001. Learning the days is really hard. I'm so worn out I can barely tell my 1s from by 10s. So today will be a day of rest.

Then separate the stuff between the things that need to be done and the things that can wait. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] heyheyitskay@aussie.zone 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Thanks. That's a good point. I've been trying to tackle the hardest (probably most useful but not most urgent) stuff first and it's frustrating me to no end so I probably need to start small to get started to not lose my mind and motivation in the process. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 3 years ago Yes the little things just clog up the way. Get them done first then tackle the urgent then everything else. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone 4 points 3 years ago (2 children) I do this. My daily to-do list has some easy wins so I can tick stuff off and feel I've achieved something. You're right, some things can wait; for me they are either 'now' or 'not now', a trait of Time Blindness that people with ADHD experience. And of course the best planned to-do list can be derailed as soon as a 'now' task jumps into your thoughts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 3 years ago If I do the small stuff and the urgent then even if I get one other thing that needs to be done done then it's a bonus. permalink fedilink source parent [–] heyheyitskay@aussie.zone 3 points 3 years ago Thanks for that. I just hope I can stick with the plans I make because I generally struggle with structured and scheduled time blocks unless it's for work where I get paid for it lol. permalink fedilink source parent
