If I haven't done a thing, why am I pooped?

[valarltd]

I cleaned
I shopped
I cooked
I'm on my 3rd load of laundry,
my second load of dishes.
I talked to my dad.
I talked to both my sisters.
I took 2 bags of trash out.

I inspired my collaborator and got some direction for a story.

So why are things still in shambles and why do I feel like I haven't done a blessed thing?

My sparechange Con Fund has an IOU for $6.25, which with the change in there equals $8.08. It would be more, but Jonner helped me clean and the spare change he found went straight into his bank.

Yeah, you just can't look it as "I have ALL THIS yet to do." I do that, and I just get completely overwhelmed and shut down. It sounds like you're divvying it up, though, trying to look at it as "I have to do this ONE thing," and if not, maybe try it? Yes, all that other stuff will still be there, but you really only can do one thing at a time, so... I find that if I tell myself I have to do one thing, but only one thing (and it can be one load of laundry, or just cleaning the sink or bathtub, etc.), and I have permission to only do that one thing, then often I go on to do another, and maybe another -- but it's okay as long as I've done that one thing. Trying to look at all of it at once is majorly depressing, I find.
