No, but really, it's the worst.
Every anxious person suffers from the deadly cycle of procrastination and anxiety and the only way to stop it is to not procrastinate. But it's not that easy.
Allow me to explain:
Anxiety causes you to procrastinate things that you are dreading doing. Makes sense. But when you procrastinate, you get anxious because you're constantly thinking I should be doing that, but you JUST. CAN'T. It drives you freaking nuts and you're just a big mess of procrastination and anxiety.
So now you understand. I suppose many of you anxious people out there suffer from this everyday, whether it's getting your license or preparing for a presentation in class. I've been having a hard time with it all lately, because I don't want to grow up and the thought of it all is driving me nuts.
My suggestion from getting out of the whirlpool? Keep a planner. Stay organized and on time. If you conquer one thing at a time, it's so much easier than trying to tackle several. Don't let yourself get behind and put off an important project or thing you need to accomplish until the last minute.
Like I've said before, this summer I've been taking the things giving me stress and anxiety one at a time. I got my license, and now I got a job (today!!). I feel like two very large weights have been lifted off my shoulder.
Now for school in two weeks. Crap.
What do you do to stay on track? Let me know, maybe we can all learn something from eachother!
Thanks for listening,
Danielle
