I’m also similar and dealing with the kinds of things that you are. In my years of struggle I am most recently in a position where I just write down things I need to do, whenever I feel like it. Then from day today I pick one thing. And I try to do with that one thing requires. If that doesn’t pan out, I wait and do it when I can. I too am a follower of Jesus, and like you I suspect pray for help in every single day. I often have found that the things most anxious about doing-if I don’t do them, God seems to take care of that. With this has been some very scary surrendering of these things to God. If I were in better shape, I’d be more than happy to help you prioritise. I do seem to retain an ability to do that. Praying for you. God bless you.

I like your response. It’s funny how many of us who struggle with being able to do a certain thing —like organizing, prioritizing, planning, etcetera— often can do it for someone else so much more efficiently. Well, at least that’s my experience. I’ve helped family members or friends prioritize and organize things many times having surprising ease and concentration ability while I do it? What is that?? It’s funny. Have you experienced something similar? Some task that’s hard to do for yourself; yet, for some reason it’s so much easier to do for someone else? I wonder how much stress or sadness plays a part in activating or turning off, so to speak, certain brain regions responsible for focus, planning, analytical thinking or executive functioning abilities in general? Because if a task is for someone else, I think my brain wires itself differently when working.
