So many squirrels

One of the challenges I am experiencing is “where to start”, what do I do first, is there an ‘order’ I should be doing things? What is the best order? What is the best order for me?

I have an appraisal coming up, an ethics form to think about and complete, a lit review to at least start … plus all the reading and note-taking. I’m looking at a scurry of squirrels knowing if I step towards one they will scatter and I’ll be left bewildered in the midst of a whirl of task lists and checkboxes. .

I like a plan, a strategy, but I’m having trouble formulating one. And then I feel stuck, when in reality I know I should simply pick one and do it. Do something. Do anything.

I watched this yesterday, and then promptly forgot about it. But writing this post reminded me so I share with you in the hopes it may help. Off to implement at least one of the suggestions.
