Find a structure that fits you
I find I am a perfectionist in a lot of things but at the same time i am sort of lazy and get overwhelmed easily. That sort of creates a deadly combination so when for example I have to brush my teeth I just don’t do it. I put so much pressure on how I should brush my teeth. I count for 10 seconds in each area and it takes forever I hate it, but if I don’t do it that way I feel like I am lazy and it makes me feel like I am gross.I create an environment where I constantly feel like I am not doing enough so I just get nothing done. Now that I have sort of excepted that my way with things doesn’t have to be perfect all the time, that my life is sort of going to be an organized chaos, I actually get things done. I don’t specifically brush my teeth like I used to, I just do it, and I have been sticking to that. My room is probably never going to be universally clean all the time, there is going to be clutter, like in everyone’s room, thats okay clean what you can. I love baking but I stoped because I focus too much on cleaning up while I do it so I don’t enjoy it anymore so nowI just take a break when I finish and clean up afterwards. Is it easier and more organized and to do everything perfectly in one go? probably, but that’s not how my brain works and that okay. Things don’t have to be perfect all the time and I am still figuring out that I am not doing things half assed, I am doing them how I like them to be done, in a way that makes me happy and sticks to my goals. It is still hard to not get back into that mindset that everything needs to be done perfectly or I feel bad, but I am working on it and it works.
