I keep running into this thing where I open a project work, personal, whatever and I just freeze. Not because I don't know what to do, but because I can't figure out what I can or must to do.
Like there are tasks I can't start yet because something else needs to happen first, but I don't know when or if that something else is completed. And it's too tiring to look at everything. So I either do random stuff that doesn't move things forward, or I just stare at my screen overwhelmed.
I'll write out every single thing I need to do and then stare at it overwhelmed because I don't know where to start. Even when I do set some order and priorities, seeing everything at once makes my brain tap out and just start scrolling on Instagram.
Does anyone else experience this? Do you have a system that actually helps you see "okay, THIS is what I can do right now" without having the entire mountain in your face at once?
Curious how you guys navigate this
