Only serious business here...

Anxiety sometimes presents as task avoidance and overplanning.

Here are 3 ways you can start interrupting the pattern:

1. Get moving

Even if you're just pacing, try not to dwell in the to-do list or trying to plan all its details.

2. Done is better than perfect

Step away from "all or nothing" thinking and break the task into ridiculously small ones (ex. don't say "clean the house," pick a small area and take the trash out).

3. Move the needle.

Adulting may feel like an ever-ending to-do list that piles on new things just as you're about to cross one item off...

When trying to contemplate progress, focus on the process and celebrate the actions you took (not criticizing yourself for what you missed).
