A result from the quiz What Kind of Procrastinator Are You?
Too Much at Once
There's so much at once that you freeze rather than pick one.
You put things off because everything feels urgent at once. Looking at the whole list makes it impossible to choose, so you end up doing none of it, or something small and unimportant instead.
The fix isn't a better list. It's choosing one thing and letting the rest wait, out of sight.
Things to try
- Do a five-minute brain dump, then pick just one thing for today.
- Hide the rest of the list until that one thing is done.
- Make the first step under two minutes.
A next step
Unstuck, the iPhone app.
Unstuck's brain dump sorts your list into today, this week and someday, and can pick one thing for you to match your energy. Join the waiting list for the iPhone app.
