Bipolar Disorder and Work: I\u2019ve got to get my act together! <\/p>\n
For the past few weeks, I was pretty ill so I didn\u2019t get as much done as I would have liked. Now that I\u2019m better, I have to get my act together and create a schedule I have to follow. Today is Saturday and I\u2019ve been floating again. I so wish I had an office to go to! Restaurants and coffee shops work when I have a specific deadline, but when the deadline is internal, I have trouble. I am watching the Super Bowl tomorrow so that day is planned. I now have to plan next week so that I have to be at certain places at certain times. <\/p>\n
This has always been a problem. If you go to work at a certain time and come home a certain time, would you like to change places!!!! I want someone looking over my shoulder saying, \u201cAll right Julie! Get going!\u201d I know that I have to do this for myself. <\/p>\n
My book Get it Done When You\u2019re Depressed has a strategy called Structure You Day Like a Child\u2019s. It refers to the fact that children have a plan from morning to evening. I need that as well! <\/p>\n
