ok can we agree that the WORST feeling is when you’re just sitting around consciously procrastinating and you’re just overly aware that each second that passes is more time wasted and you like watch hours pass and you’re STILL procrastinating and you CANT STOP and your panicked brain is trapped inside a body that refuses to be productive and inside you’re screaming but outwardly you’re just eating chips
If you find yourself like this. Instead of thinking “I need to do the thing!!” make the task smaller. Start with gettig up. Don’t think about why you need to get up just focus on getting up. If that is too much focus on moving a leg off the couch, then the other one. Make the steps smaller. So small, that you can think “yeah I can do that, I can manage that.” Once you’re moving it’s easier to keep going.
I think I’ve reblogged this post before but this addition is the first time I’ve ever seen a solution to breaking out of executive dysfunction that seems actually helpful
VERY helpful.
Honestly.
