Have you ever had levels of anxiety that basically prevent you from doing anything productive?
@jerry Yes. I'm sure there's lots of good advice on this thread! My how-to on quelling it: *Accept* that I will or may not get everything done (this is hard. Calling it Radical Acceptance sort of helps). Pick one thing to work on; the most pressing, or what will take the shortest, or what will please you the most. If you can't pick flip a coin and let it pick for you. Keep a kanban board or even a simple list and check off the things you get done! It feels great and lifts some of the anxiety.
