Organising before starting

I have to clean my house as the first thing I do before starting my day. It just makes things feel less chaotic. So yeah can def relate to this. I do that with my emails too, I need to read through everything to feel I have all context / knowledge and I’m not missing anything. I’m trying to use my ERP techniques here but it’s hard with this type of thing, it’s what I’ve known will make my day / life successful.

I like your point about context / knowledge and having the big picture before starting. Like viewing the terrain from a hill before starting a trek through the wilderness.

Definitely can relate. Try to do the opposite and see what happens. Take a leap of faith and just start something. Even though it’s distressing it’s possible and for me it’s more efficient. This is tough my friends, but we are tougher.

I will try just starting something. There is a strange inertia about just starting. Like I am breaking Newton's law of opposite reactions.

It’s so hard for me to stop losing time to this

Great feedback

I relate to this. I have to clean my house before starting my day. I stare at my calendar and rearrange tasks for so long without even doing anything. I feel stuck.
