Hold me accountable

[KikiShaLeeBopDeBopBop]

I have some stressful admin / a problem that I've been putting off dealing with for ages because it stresses me out so much. Taken the afternoon off work to deal with it.

Its not criminal don't worry! But can I have some encouragement to face my fears & deal with it please?

Keep freezing & I just need to crack on & get it done.

DO IT TODAY AND NEVER THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN.

Do you feel able to share what it is ? Maybe we can help?

First thing, gather everything you need (laptop, passwords, papers, phone numbers) and stick the kettle on.

Imagine how you will feel once it's completed...now do it!

What's the smallest thing you could do to start to tackle it?

Could you set a timer for half an hour, and work on it.

Setting a small time limit will hopefully help you get into it - and when the timer goes off, you'll want to keep going and get it done...

Thank you so much. First step was to check I've not missed key information, which I've done & haven't. Now trying to speak to a person - stuck in an online query loop & tried ringing but the menus take you back to the first menu each time.
Also crying coz I'm so stressed and feel like such a screw up for not sorting this before

What is it? Taxes?

Hey, better late than never!! I've got a whole years worth of accounts to do... (It's a very small business and won't take me long - I could have done it a month ago, but I haven't...)

Are you any further ahead now?

How's it going @KikiShaLeeBopDeBopBop ?

Thank you for the encouragement. I've done everything I think I can for today - it's an ongoing situation (not taxes!) so now I'm just waiting for a reply.
I never used to get so anxious about stuff! Really appreciate you all keeping me company x

@NeverEnoughPants good luck with your accounts!

Thank you! I'll get them done in the next month or two :)

Well done for doing what you could today. I have to sort out a query on my pension. I've been putting it off for months. The logical part of my brain knows it's not that bad but the toddler in me keeps screaming and throwing a tantrum. Maybe tomorrow...

@PuneorPlayonWords thank you, its a personally stressful situation & I have a medical condition directly affected by stress - the real reason I've put off tackling it head on. I hope you quell your inner toddler soon!
