...no real filter for priorities and every one of those things is screaming to be top of the list. It's easy to say write a list and do the important stuff... it's all the important stuff, and the list is massive.
So much this!! I find it so hard to prioritise things, because my brain tells me they are all important! Or if I'm not doing too well, that none of them are, which is probably worse. Bills, doctor's appointments, car rego, household chores...? NOPE it's too much, so it's time to play video games! ๐ฉ
One of the reasons I struggle to make a to-do list is because whenever I sit down to do one, it's like I forget all the things that were supposed to be on there! Or I get most of them written down, but miss one or two things, and then I forget to do them entirely because my brain is like 'Okay I have this to-do list and so now I don't need to remember anything else' and it just stops trying to remember other stuff that probably should have been on there. I've tried reminders and checklist apps, tried scribbling it down and sticking it to the fridge, all sorts, and just.... never able to be consistent ๐
I hope that you are able to work out the best pathway forward, I think sometimes it's just gotta be one step at a time ๐ค๐
