How you get motivation to get stuff done when your struggling

[GingerKittenTail]

Overwhelmed with the amount of shit I need to get done
mainly painting and decorating

yet it’s overwhelming me so much

why am I so bloody incompetent !!
im driving myself nuts

That's me too.

But I'm not incompetent. I had ADHD.

Bless you hope you find some peace. Try a walk around the block? Some fresh air and movement I find helps when I get stuck

Set a timer and do 20 minutes. Generally fine once I've started I keep going

So that might clearing room or sanding or prepping or getting stuff out

I hate decorating so much though I did once do my whole house. S

I get free ebooks from the library help the time pass more quickly.

*have. Not Had

I put things off till the last possible moment. I wish I wasn't like this so I'll join you please!!

The timer helps me, too.

Also, I just set things up that I need to do the work. I actually enjoy the process of set up, when there is no pressure to start immediately. And it makes it so much easier to get started later.

Often I procrastinate when I don’t feel confident that I know how to achieve the result I want. Prepping really helps.

Painting and decorating are awkward as they tend to be longer jobs that don't suit a 5/ 20 min start then put down.

Look at what needs doing and break it into smaller jobs e.g. buy supplies, Thurs evening, set up Fri evening, prepare a wall Sat morning.
