How are you feeling today?....Feeling a little sluggish today like I dont' want to do much, but it could be simply that I haven't actually "done much" today? lol... So I will be getting up and heading out in a bit. Other than that, its a beautiful day out and I'm feeling great.
What is something you find frustrating or upsetting that you wish you were able to change?......
Great question!.. And I have many responses I could give! Lol.. .However, "for today", One thing I would like to change is to "Get people to do what they say they are going to do, and to Commit to the things they initially committed to doing in the first place!..... (I took on something a little over a year ago, based on the fact that many were wanting to do it. And in the end, I tried to Evolve more in that situation, because I thought it would be the best thing to do for those involved. Everyone had a say in it, and we ALL agreed to move forward with the plan!)..... And now, what was once a huge group who had committed in saying they wanted to do it, is now down to only 3 people! 3~ 
So .... that's what I would change. To get people to do what they committed to doing in the first place, before causing a huge disruption in the lives of those who are left over, and who are still there trying to hold the pieces together in figuring out what to do next.
@PoliteOcean
Glad you're feeling good and hope you're able to do stuff whenever that sense of not doing enough and feeling sluggish becomes burdensome. 😊
That sounds really frustrating... like, "if you commit to doing something, please actually do it!" Sorry that that huge group all abandoned their responsibilities and stuck you with their work. I'm sure it was more manageable when it was split between so many people, and that was the whole point of setting it up that way in the first place and getting everybody to agree to that arrangement. 💜 Wishing you the best in using the 3 people that you still have left to figure out the best plan for handling things going forward with the resources that you currently have.

Hi Oasis! 💜 Sorry that you've been having trouble with procrastination. You want to get work done on-time but you're having difficulty doing that and it's causing issues.
If it's helpful at all, there have been a lot of threads in the past on 7 Cups about procrastination. Here are just a couple I found that have some tips. You could possibly look through those and see if there's anything in those that feels appealing: LINK 1, LINK 2.
These are some things I personally do that work for me, most of the time:
- Allow myself to procrastinate and just trust that at some point my anxiety will becoming overwhelming enough that out of necessity, I'll be forced into a state where I'm very motivated, concentrated, and efficient
- Break down huge/overwhelming projects into smaller parts that are doable, estimate how long each part will take, and commit to a self-imposed schedule for when I will complete each part.
- Mix periods of work with breaks/recovery and reward myself for finishing things
- Play music in the background that I enjoy while I'm working (or not if it feels distracting)
- Start with small/easy/quick tasks just to get them out of the way, have a positive feeling of accomplishment ("I actually got something done") and create space for me to focus on more difficult/challenging tasks
- Take care of my physical needs as best as I can so that I have the energy to support whatever mental tasks I'm trying to do
Thanks it was really helpful 👍😊...

Right now it’s my psychiatric care. It is upsetting me.
