One of my life goals is to have fewer little pieces of paper surrounding me, each containing reminders of tasks undone. A clear ‘to do’ list is the surest sign of freedom, I’m sure. But right now, what I want to pin on my notice board of stuff, is a humble note to self:
You don’t have to do everything at once
Indeed, you don’t have to do everything
Life does not require you to be ready

I’ve been saying you put too much on yourself. It’s very easy to overwhelm yourself with so many tasks you end up in a panic wondering were to start. Break them down and prioritise them. Aim to do 3 every day. If you have time to do more all the better, but more importantly if you only manage 2 out of 3 don’t try to do 4 the next day. I believe in you.
I’m just adjusting to the theory of getting it right, then I’ll work on the practical application.
“if you only manage 2 out of 3 don’t try to do 4 the next day” – I think you’ve found the heart of the problem.
