I'm not horrible at the moment

[Existing]

Just checking in, haven't been in awhile. Yeah, maybe aprilish I was really really miserable , as I have been for way too long. But the last couple of months it's been tolerable if I just don't really think about things. And it's odd cuz I think I've hit a new low on ability to clear my coffee table and .. other flat surfaces to a ridiculous point of clutter chaos that usually makes me so uncomfortable I want to vomit.

And ye t, I don't really care too much.

Not sure ..

But I will take this momentary relief.

Hello Existing......your post has touched a nerve, for my tables are filled with clutter and to clear it and tidy up seems such a big ask, and like you i am on a new low and cannot shake it off no matter how i try, i often wonder why i'm still here.

Hi Existing,

Yep, I'm like you, any clear flat space soon has an unsteady mountain of stuff on it!

Cheers, Midori

Because of the 2 replies here, I think I might try something mentioned somewhere in the forums, regarding procrastination, and inability to get things done. Perhaps it might be something others could try, and we can report back on whether it helped us with the mountain in front of us (clutter) that sometimes feels like that thing in "Close Encounters.." movie where Dryfus was observed with creating that thing, lolIt's called the Pomodoro technique, and apparently many in the forum were familiar. It's basically working a certain amount of time, then stopping, then working, etc. Rather than looking at the accomplished task, you simply focus on time devoted to working on it.

I might try it today. I will post details.

Hi Existing,Have you tried the Pomodoro technique yet? If so, how is it working for you?

[Existing in reply to Downandout123]

Oh yeah, great😅.. I have not. And I appreciate this notice to get me trying again tomorrow. But this time now I will have a real reason to report back. Thank you.
