10 minutes at a time

asgoodasitgets March 11th, 2015

I go through patterns of being healthy and great, and then go through times where it is a struggle to get out of bed and get dressed for the day.

Sometimes I wish someone would give me an instruction manual on what to do each day so that I knew what was important and could complete those tasks.

I have OCD and ADD. I am all over the place with my ADD but once I get locked onto something my OCD takes over and I can spend hours doing one activity that should have only taken 10minutes.

So here is my suggestion and I am hoping others out there will encourage me. I would like to start a thread where people share their accomplishments for the day. Big or little, doesn't matter.

You can put things like, I got out of bed and took a shower, or I painted a whole room today. I made dinner and got all the dishes done! Or just anything to keep each other motivated. Sometimes the hardest part of getting out of my slump is figuring out what I need to do, so that I can make myself get up and do it.

Focus on 10 minutes, what can you do in 10 minutes? What can I do that will help myself or my family in just 10 minutes? What can I do that will help myself get ready for tomorrow, or be ahead for tomorrow in just 10 minutes? What can I do for 10 minutes that will make me feel better?

Anyone up for it?

One little thing I did yesterday that only took 10 minutes was that I was able to FINALLY get out the depression and self-esteem book I bought so that I can start working through it.
