Gettin' Shit Done
It's a real fucking challenge. I've struggled with this most of my life and have only recently be given the impression that not everyone has this experience. (This is where I insert one of those internet meme faces that is surprised like it just saw a squirrel quoting Plato to an octopus.)
This is what I know about when it's hard to get shit done:
This is what I know about when it's hard to get shit done:
- It's usually hard because I have some emotional shit going on. Like, if it's physical entirely, then I try to do the shit, and have to rest a lot, but will continue to make headway. Unless I'm in the hospital or something but it's not like I'm all worried about how the blinds need dusting while I'm hooked up to an IV.
- Music can help but only The RIGHT music, and The RIGHT music is often difficult to come by.
- Acknowleging the emotional thing (if I can figure out what it is) usually makes doing shit more plausible.
- It's contagious unless I'm in super-caretaking mode. If someone in the vicinity is having a hard time getting shit done, I'm more likely to also have that issue because I might have a feeling about how that person can't get shit done. Then I have an emotional blockage. This is called CoDependence. Moo.
- It's important to think of what I really did do on any given day, even if it's that I had lunch. Feeling bad makes gettin' shit done worse.
