More productivity

[lillilah]

I really wanted to get this box I'm making to store/display my paints finished (because I want to be able to put away the paints, because having stuff in boxes/bags everywhere is frustrating), but I ran out of binder clips (which hold the end of the paint tubes). I dithered about going into town to get more but decided instead to work on finishing some of the birthday cards I've been painting. I only ended up getting one finished, but it was the one I really needed to get finished. Tomorrow, I plan on taking the bus into town, getting the binder clips, maybe having some keys made, and sending out some birthday cards. I really look forward to having that all done.

However, pushing myself to do stuff is making me really anxious. I'll do the stuff I need want to do tomorrow, and then I'll slow down. (My psychologist reminds me that I should remember the difference between things I have to do and things I want to do. The problem is that if there is something that I really want to do that I am having to back off on because of anxiety, then I get pissed off and frustrated. It is better than being anxious, I guess, but I am pretty crazy when I am frustrated too.
