Ok, I have to concentration… I have a task to do
My wonderful roommates moved out at the same time. I am sad to see them go, though the moves were good ideas on their part- one moved in with his girlfriend and the other went to New Orleans to build low income houses. But at the same time? In this economy! I have had some worried thoughts about that. Not because I can’t rent the room- I can. It’s the steps of getting the new roommate. There is a lot to do that has to be done on time. Thank heavens I am doing better today- but I find myself sitting because I’m not sure where to start. I am such an ADD baby!
I just have to get up and get started. Nothing gets done from a chair. Nothing gets done when I don’t have a plan. I called my mom. She is going to help straighten the back yard. I am now going to go through each room at a time so that I don’t go back and forth on projects.
I write about this rather boring topic because it’s a situation everyone gets in when they have a lot to do in life. I need to be writing, but I also want a companionable roommate. So I do this work first and then the work I have to do later. This is a tough enough situation that I wrote a whole book about it! Get it Done When You’re Depressed. I’m thinking of the tips in the book and I’m choosing which ones to use right now.

PS: We don’t have to want to do something to get things done. We don’t even have to feel good about getting things done. We just have to do things.
Have been reading your book “Getting it done..” for the past few months and have wanted to tell you what a valuable tool it is for someone who struggles with being overwhelmed with the Having suffered from bouts of depression for most of my life, I have researched everything I could to make this area of my life manageable. I felt that I finally had found methods that really work. I do need to review them often, but more times than not I can break my paralysis and move on. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge in such a compassionate and effective manner.
