\"get<\/a>Bipolar Disorder Management tips: How I get things done! I find it amazing that on some days I can look at my bills and other ‘to do’ items and just sit down and get them done without over-thinking things! Then there are days where just the idea of paying bills or answering email is so overwhelming I simply shut down. This is one bipolar disorder symptom that is very hard to explain, but it’s very real and needs to be addressed. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n

1. HIRE SOMEONE TO HELP YOU MAKE MONEY. If you are missing money making opportunities because of feeling overwhelmed, it makes total sense to hire someone who helps you bring the money into your life. The cost of the person you hire comes directly out of the money you make. I’ve found that I lose money when I don’t have a manager.\u00a0 My manager Tamia often just sits next to me while I work and makes sure I stay on track, especially on the tough days when my brain feels like mush.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 READ GET IT DONE WHEN YOU’RE DEPRESSED:\u00a0 I love this book as it’s not about managing depression- it’s about working even though you have depression. It also works well for anxiety and ADD symptoms.\u00a0 The 50 strategies in the book are the ones I use daily to keep myself focused.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 SPEND MONEY IF YOU HAVE IT: A clean house completely changes your ability to get things done. If you have the money, hire someone to clean your house,\u00a0 do the gardening, make your meals or anything else that you can easily hand off to someone who does a great job. I find that people who have money tend to beat themselves up over not getting things done when it’s so simple to hire someone to do the basics! People with bipolar disorder do have money.<\/p>\n

These are a few out of the ordinary ways to get things done on the tough days!<\/p>\n
