I have so many things to do right now and I can't seem to get started on any of it! I'm really not a procrastinator but I'm seriously overwhelmed and find myself doing everything but what I need to...
Does this happen to you? How do you break out of it and get to work?
Please share otherwise I won't be sleeping for the next 2 weeks because I have to play catch up on work! |

This is what I do when it gets like that. Take a plastic dishpan that is clean, Put all the paperwork, unopened mail, and bills in it. Make a cup of hot tea or cocoa, then go take a warm shower or a soak, and get comfortable clothes on. I turn the tv on to something light or a sitcom in the bedroom. Then lay back on the pillows, sip the tea, open all the mail and throw stuff that I don't need onto the floor. When done, put the bills and important mail in alphabetical order so I can find things easily and quickly, write checks and stuff envelopes for anything urgent. Then I stack all of it back in the dishpan with the current mail to go out on top, all the other bills and paperwork into a two pocket vinyl folder with a hand-written plan of what is owed and when it's due on the top of the pile inside the folder. I include notes of appointments and other things I have to get done on that sheet so I won't forget them. Then I finish the tea, doze off if I'm sleepy, and feel relieved that I have caught up with myself. When I get up, I scoop up the paper on the floor and throw it away. Hope this helps you to get going again! |

That long reply is for the really overwhelmed feeling I sometimes get, so it has relaxation, sorting, pampering and thinking to go along with the task at hand. If it's a smaller lack of motivation, I wash dishes and tidy the kitchen, as that is very meditative for me and also accomplishes something. |

Got housework done and organized my work. Now I'm off to do the real work with my tea for the night! Also the hubby is going out so I won't get interrupted. |
