Years ago I had made a single page written out about my goals and I would read it every morning, it felt pretty uplifting, not like a to-do list. I think reading it in the morning really does help to reinforce the idea of them.

I haven't officially made a goal list, I know what they are but they remain in my head under a quagmire of depression or anxiety or whatever it is. I feel overwhelmed with almost everything or just don't want to deal with IT.  I feel that I haven't gotten much done. Last week I did go through my clothes and found a bags worth to throw away. Old things not worth the space they take up. Barely made a dent in my clutter though. It's not that I have a lot of stuff, I have a small rental is the real problem.

Sometimes I really do grab old things and start using them again, in fact I am using an old purse now that I was thinking of throwing away. It's all not important though. I can clearly see that I have too much stuff in boxes and it's not organized but it's how it is.

Working through a depressive or anxiety caused fog is really hard, G, I do empathise with you.  It's very difficult to get yourself pepped up and going to try and motivate yourself.  I am taking anti-depressants and beta blockers now as I found I was having to put so much energy in to just getting through the day that I wasn't getting anything else done; I've generally tried to avoid things like that but luckily the side effects haven't been too bad and they seemed to calm me down quite quickly.  It's hard to organise your stuff when you're living in a small space, particularly when it's a rental and you may want/need to move on, it makes it unrealistic to spend a lot of money on shelving and storage.
