When you say you have trouble finding a comfortable place to work, do you mean creating good physical surroundings? Finding an appropriate setting? Balancing solitude with working with people? Just curious.<\/p>\n
Hi!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all of those things. I guess my main problem is brain fog when it comes to focusing on thing I have to do in order. For example, I have a ton of deadlines in the next week. A book chapter is due. I have to get ready for my DBSA (Depression Bipolar Support Alliance) presentation for the September conference and I have to get copy ready for a class I\u2019m teaching. If I have one project- I can complete it very easily. Having five or six projects jumbles my mind. I make a lot of charts! Another problem is that a lot of my work brings money in months and months later- such as writing a book. So I have to work on what is financially viable first, but sometimes that is not what has to get done!<\/p>\n
I like working in crowds while I listen to my ipod. So that is not a problem.<\/p>\n
I often find chairs and the height of tables a problem. I never work at home as I get too distracted! It\u2019s for all of these ridiculous roadblocks is why I wrote Get it Done When You\u2019re Depressed. The reason I WILL meet all of my deadlines is because of the tips in that book.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m excited that I can work again. It\u2019s a miracle. But no one told me the scheduling would be so hard. My brain just stops and if I\u2019m not really careful the depression comes back pretty strongly!<\/p>\n
