This is pretty good. I remember seeing it a while ago.

Realizing I had all this wall -- emotional stuff -- in the way was a help. I could see what problem I actually had to solve first.

I find it helps to analyze what I am feeling and why and kind of talk through it.

And sometimes looking at the initial steps of getting started helps. If I can get started on one or two simple actions it is often enough to get over the hump and keep going.

E.g. I have this report to write ugh ..but let's see.... The first thing is I just need to open Visio and then the next hard thing is to find the architecture diagram...so maybe just open up that one team website cuz it might be there. So I go and do that and now I'm locked into finding the diagram, then starting to work on it for the report, and I can go step wise from there.

A big problem is just having the "juice" to start. If I haven't exercised in a while and am falling into depression, forget it. It's almost impossible. Whereas it is much easier if I am feeling good due to regular exercise.

My Rx helps, especially in the morning about 20-30 minutes after taking it. If I don't waste it on goofing off lol.

neat. it sure feels like a literal wall.

Thank you so much! That's some of the best advice that I've needed the most ever! ❤️
