I recently posted about having some trouble getting started on tasks. I mentioned that one thing I did was review an observation I created related to this issue. Well, I"m lazy today so I figure I'll post the observation so you can see one way I use Mood Sentry.
Title: Getting Started
Getting started can be tough for me.
It's not just the initiation of a project or task, but even getting started on a continuing task on a given day is a challenge.
I forecast a quagmire, bogging me down to the point that I not only don't finish the task in question, but the rest of my day is shot too.
If I don't finish all planned tasks, then I failed.
If I start i'll get mired in a problem that I will need to finish on that day.
These are exaggerations, all or nothing thinking.
Quagmires are rare. Most times things get done.
Getting started helps. Just set a small goal and shoot for that. If that goal is reached, set a new goal.
Not finishing does not equal failure.
