Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. Learning the days is really hard. I’m so worn out I can barely tell my 1s from by 10s. So today will be a day of rest.

    Do the small easy stuff first. Then separate the stuff between the things that need to be done and the things that can wait.

      Thanks. That’s a good point. I’ve been trying to tackle the hardest (probably most useful but not most urgent) stuff first and it’s frustrating me to no end so I probably need to start small to get started to not lose my mind and motivation in the process.

        Yes the little things just clog up the way. Get them done first then tackle the urgent then everything else.

      I do this. My daily to-do list has some easy wins so I can tick stuff off and feel I’ve achieved something. You’re right, some things can wait; for me they are either ‘now’ or ‘not now’, a trait of Time Blindness that people with ADHD experience. And of course the best planned to-do list can be derailed as soon as a ‘now’ task jumps into your thoughts.

        If I do the small stuff and the urgent then even if I get one other thing that needs to be done done then it’s a bonus.

        Thanks for that. I just hope I can stick with the plans I make because I generally struggle with structured and scheduled time blocks unless it’s for work where I get paid for it lol.
