I made a list of to do and to learn and now I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and not really sure how to prioritise and tackle it. Why do I do this to myself
Do the small easy stuff first. Then separate the stuff between the things that need to be done and the things that can wait.
Thanks. That's a good point. I've been trying to tackle the hardest (probably most useful but not most urgent) stuff first and it's frustrating me to no end so I probably need to start small to get started to not lose my mind and motivation in the process.
Yes the little things just clog up the way. Get them done first then tackle the urgent then everything else.
I do this. My daily to-do list has some easy wins so I can tick stuff off and feel I've achieved something. You're right, some things can wait; for me they are either 'now' or 'not now', a trait of Time Blindness that people with ADHD experience. And of course the best planned to-do list can be derailed as soon as a 'now' task jumps into your thoughts.
If I do the small stuff and the urgent then even if I get one other thing that needs to be done done then it's a bonus.
Thanks for that. I just hope I can stick with the plans I make because I generally struggle with structured and scheduled time blocks unless it's for work where I get paid for it lol.
expand the list out, one page per item. Then goal as the heading. Break it down into skills and time lines.
Thanks. I started a hierachy with the to learn list but probably need to write down some solid goals, objectives, and timelines. I want to make a habit of doing little bits during the week so I'm not cramming everything in on the weekends - that should help me decide how long things will realistically take too.
