Tuesday ‘Get it Done’ Work Club with Julie A. Fast

Bipolar disorder scatters my thoughts, causes panic attacks, makes me restless, leads to worry and basically disrupts my life on a regular basis. But, I still have to and want to work. Right now, I’m sitting down with a plan and would love for you to join me. For the next two hours, I am going to finish the work I need to do. I want to stand up, go to a movie, watch a video, read a book, talk with someone, eat junk food and pretty much anything else that would keep me from working. This makes little sense, but it’s my life with #moodswings.

Here is my list of what I will do in the next two hours. Please join me on my Julie A. Fast Facebook page and share your list. Make it a realistic list. My list is very realistic. For each project I finish, I will explain my process and will check back in. I’m using the strategies from my book Get it Done When You’re Depressed. My first strategy- put yourself in a place you can work. I have done that. Now, I am going to work. It’s 11:45. I am going to time my work to keep myself on track. Oh, I hate this work anxiety, but I want to move forward in life. There is a way to get things done- it shifts around, but we can catch it and use it.

1. Send out email to people who listened to the Avoid the Bp Magazine Coaching call.

2. Send coaching homework to my much loved clients.

3. Answer coaching inquiries.

4. Put Rudy Caseres interview on Soundcloud.

That is a basic list. I will keep you posted.

What is yours?

The minute I wrote the list I wanted to run away. Nothing new. But, I know I will not feel GOOD about myself if I put off this very important work. I am committed to getting things done, no matter how painful it feels.

Your list might look like this.

1. Put on regular clothes.

2. Get bills in one pile.

3. Organize bills.

4. Pay one bill and then the next if I have time.

My list looks like this on MANY days. Today, I’m a big more high functioning and hope to stick to my regular work.
