*laughs and cries on the inside while watching this while taking a break from a project I've been working on since 3am...because....* Granted, I've gotten WAY better at this, it still occasionally happens. My main problem right now is saying "yeah! I have time for that" and end up taking on an inhuman level of work because of Ye Olde Friend time blindness. I have been relying on a system of whiteboards and magnetic cards to manage the chaos somewhat, and I am seeing ways to improve it further and not overwhelm myself as often as I do.

"it does come at a cost" "yeah I know" is what I said out loud in response because I'm currently struggling with damage control in regards my business due to said cost. *needs routine but can't manage to get one going* Trying for years. This avalanche I'm under is why I found the channel. I started looking for little ways to be more productive and understand why I struggle so much. And now here I am still learning and but little by little getting better.

Oh hello, every project I worked on and test I studied for in High School... and college! This stopped working for me in graduate school (the first attempt).

If you haven't yet, check out her video on "body doubling". Body doubling is where someone is with you when you are doing tasks and their simple presence helps you function better. If there is anyone you can have hang out with you while you work (they can even be doing there own thing as long as they are around) that ma help a bit. I can't clean or organize my room on my own, but when my brother comes down and simply hangs out, I can get my room clean and organized in a weekend.

I have actually thought about body doubling and I've done it after hours when on a discord call with friends. I'll work while they chat- chiming in when I feel like it. I own a florist. That's where my office is. There's so much going on around me and my focus is pulled away from my office work so often, that I can't get productive without telling everyone to leave me alone and to act like I'm not there that day. I put my earbuds in and get to working. But when that work needs to get done as much as they need me daily - I struggle to find a balance. I have lots of bodies around me and it doesn't help me stay accountable for my work. I'm still doing work, but it's nothing that is tackling the avalanche of stuff I'm behind on. I work best on that stuff after hours, but by that point, I'm exhausted. I also have to run a 7 person household full of mentally ill teenagers and adult "partner" and a toddler, with minimal help from said adult and teens. In other words, I'm in over my head and struggling to dig my way out. I often can't get work done after hours because I have household responsibilities to manage. I am slowly working on little things to help manage it better for the long run, but right now- With important things on a timeline- I'm still not making headway.
