I ended up getting a coach that would help me break the tasks into small, manageable tasks and put realistic deadlines. I would put in my calendar when I was going to work on them. I had to build trust with myself by sticking to the schedule and eventually I didn\u2019t have to spend so much energy talking myself into doing it. <\/p>\n<p>She and I also talked about my anxiety in starting a new task and she would let me talk through what I was going to do with her. Just saying it aloud made me realize it wasn\u2019t as daunting as I had been making it out to be. I know people who have used accountability partners or work groups in similar ways as well. <\/p>\n<p>I also created a playlist that got me angry at the anxious voice in my head telling me I couldn\u2019t do it. I would use that energy and the feeling of empowerment to get the work done. The songs on my play list were break up songs as if I was breaking up with my inner critic. No one has the right to make me feel like I\u2019m not good enough! All of this really helped me learn how capable I am. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Valeria R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I really struggle with procrastination. Deciding to do just one part of a task, like the first step, sometimes gets me to do the whole thing but even if not, it\u2019s an accomplishment. Little bit at a time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eliot Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The only way I can overcome it. Is realizing am procrastinating. I can tell when I\u2019m going into \u201cstupid mode\u2019 , in other words I have things to do but suddenly my brakes engage.  With that in mind I take some deep breaths and tell myself that I MUST get up and get going, period. Let me tell You I argue with myself, but I refuse to give in to nothingness. I have a masters degree in procrastination. With that said if I can over come nothingness you will. Give yourself a little credit, if you make the decision you will succeed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elizabeth F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The longer it takes you to do it, the more you do not want to do it. Set up your surroundings to help; truly it comes down to telling yourself to do the work. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phillip T.
