Procrastination

Posted by lambchop52 @lambchop52, Feb 17, 2021

It seems my depression plays out with procrastination. I feel overwhelmed and get anxious about where to start. Plus I feel guilty about not getting anything done.

Birdiemomma, thanks for reply. Obviously, I've procrastinated getting back here, but I'll check Fly-lady. I hope you are well.

I have major depressive disorder and have (finally) started therapy recently. My problem is perfectionism, so if my mind says I can't do it perfectly, then I shouldn't do it at all.
Sometimes when someone (Flylady) tells you what to do and when to do it, it's easier to do. I suggest that if 15 minutes of decluttering is too long, try just 5 minutes. I tell myself that anyone can do anything for just 5 minutes! My house is a mess again, and I need to get back in the Flylady groove! You have reminded me.
