Hello

Some of my anxeity stems from me having things to do and never getting them done and then stressing about it. I was just wondering how do you all help organize urselves better and make sure things you want done and things you want to do are done? do you follow a daily planner? like the one u get in a dollar store?

just make yourself a journal and write in it every night, make it a major priority to get whatever you need to get done with, and also always try to have the most positive thinking you can. If your feeling like you cant do it, sometimes you just have to go against the grain, and do it. It has to be top priority on your mind, not just something that you can do, you NEED to do it.

it helps to write down a list of things to do and spend most time on the important ones
also do one thing at a time

i make a weekly list and check things off as i go I try not to push myself too much either thats why it is a weekly list, if i don't get it done today no need to stress i can do it tomorrow and there will be one less thing to do on my list

Sometimes it is helpful to write down the things that you have accomplished instead of dwelling on the things you have to do. It may be hard to switch that train of thought, but it is rewarding to make lists of things that got done. The pile of "to do's" is always going to be there, as that is life. Prioritize and have reasonable expectations.
