Stuck again —– ADD Tip o the day 68

Here’s one of the ways we get stuck:

we feel overwhelmed by a big important task, so we procrastinate.  Just can’t get started.  But we have a lot of other things to do.  But instead of doing them, we are sitting and fretting about the big task that is not getting done.  It doesn’t make sense to us to be working on some trivial thing while the big important thing is just sitting there, leering at us.  So we are not doing anything, which is demoralizing and we spiral down into a dark hole and we are stuck.

The first step of the strategy is to pick any  task, anything, break it down into the smallest possible step and do it.   That breaks the log jam, you are moving again.
