2 TIPS

1. (You’ve heard it before, but it’s critical) Set time goals, not accomplishment goals. If I tell myself: ”I’ll get this project done before noon!” and then I don’t, I get disheartened. But, if I say: I’ll do 2 hours before 10am, thats easy! 2. Just break off that first layer of work. Idk what your job is but like for example: simply import the footage. put in one little chunk of data into excel. code 16 lines (is that a lot?) carve one peg. draw just the outline, etc, etc. you get the idea. For me, just getting one tiny part done puts into perspective how fast I could do it, and that helps a lot

do it all

i feel like theclack summed it up really well. i’d add that having clear goals within each category is helpful to feel less scattered and lets you tend to each thing with more direction. the more projects i take on the more i need to write out to do list and then i think of which one i can knock out the quickest, what’s most urgent, or what i’m in the mood for. next step really is sub-list per project, make it super easy on yourself. okay i want to record this album, now list the steps it takes to complete it, etc. be your own guide and cross things out one at a time and you can tackle everything in your own time

unfortunately orginization actually works

set a timer for yourself to do the thing you've been procrastinating for five minutes. then work up to 10, 15, etc. i often feel way better after I Do The Thing. the procrastination part is usually just dreading getting started, but once you do the task tends to go by quickly, esp if you put on music or a TV show in the background. calling a friend or just having them in the room to body double is helpful as well if you are of the ADHD persuasion. i totally understand the fear of failure though - i often let wanting things to be "perfect" get in the way of "good enough". not that you should half-ass things, but go a little easier on yourself. i'm sure whatever project you're working on will turn out 10X better than you think it will. best of luck xx

yé-yé 💋

like many baristas my age, i had an affinity for french pop music as a highschooler, particularly "yé-yé", which was what they called 60's pop! i was down with a bad case of main character syndrome (a common symptom of being a teenager) so i loved the drama of it all - chic and taboo like smoking secret cigarettes 🙄 i was also taking french in school - i was terrible at it but being able to vaguely understand the lyrics helped me to appreciate it even more. flash fwd a few years & i was finally presented with the opportunity to travel to france!!! i never ever thought i'd get to see paris but the stars aligned and i spent a week there in summer 2023 with my fiancé and my dad (which was particularly special bc i never get to travel with him) 🥺 it was incredibly romantic (despite the lack of air conditioning...wtf europe) and i had also gotten my garçon into the french music i'd loved as a teen so our visit was soundtracked by the likes of françoise hardy, jacqueline taïeb, jacques brel, sylvie vartan, jacques dutronc, jane birkin, serge gainsbourg (melody nelson holds up if i pretend i don't know what he's saying!!) etc 🥰 the video i linked is one of the only videos i took while in paris, and it's possibly my fav video i've taken ever - the little girl i accidentally caught dancing in front of the eiffel tower makes me smile every time i watch it.
