Slipping!!

I'm losing my motivation to do simple tasks. For a short while, I was able to stop being scatterbrained enough to do all the little mundane things that need to be done. Now I find that I'm almost scared of doing these things for some reason, and I "forget" to do them. I'm not sure what's going on that makes me feel like that, but I guess I am posting this for some encouragement.
thank you...

you're scared to do little mundane tasks? strange...I find that I'm just too damned lazy to do them. Best thing I can think of is to look at each one of them as a battle, and that you won't back down and lose to such a minor thing...

Okay, maybe "scared" was too strong a word.
I get incredibly apprehensive and have these weird "loops" that I get caught up in sometimes when I'm trying to get stuff done.
Like, I'll think: "I want to write, but I need to exercise first. But I need to clean. I want to clean, but I want to write. I should take out the trash, but I need to clean to fill up the trash..." It goes on and on.
So my mind is spinning with all these possible things that I can do and should be doing, but like a rock skipping off the surface of a lake, none of them take hold and it makes me very apprehensive because I feel as though I am frozen in place, unable to take any action lest it be the wrong one.
For a good few weeks, I was able to break out of obsessive thinking like that...but the past few days have been rough.
Of course hanging out at the Shroomery probably isn't helping. I just needed some understanding words and a encouraging push in the right direction by posting this.
truly,
*me*

Try making a list of all the things you need/want to do. Don't just put "Clean" on there, either. Put specific stuff like dust, vacuum, take out trash, wash dishes, water plants, and fun stuff for rewards, like writing, Shroomery, whatever. Then prioritize your list ("Dust before vacuum, load the washing machine, then I get half an hour on the Shroomery while laundry cycles for being good").

Take baby steps. One task at a time. Do the hard one first and the easy ones last.
