I stress on these tasks rather than completing them because if I don't have these tasks to stress about, I'll have to stress about the much worse tasks waiting just behind them in the queue.
Hmm that might be why I'm fine at my actual job but awful at doing anything productive at home. I told my coworker I needed someone to come "help" me by basically sitting in my living room judging all the laundry piles. Like, just come over and talk shit and redirect me when I get distracted every 12 seconds.
Thanks! Just reminded me that I had a relatively simple task to do that would have been weighing on my mind at 2a.
Now the other tasks on my mind are "perpetual tasks" or otherwise aren't so simple to complete, like finding a new job. So uh, how do I stop stressing about those tasks?
