Household Chores or Remodeling Projects

[Sweed1]

I have recently taken over the care and upkeep of my home and at times I find it too be very stressful. It seems I get one thing taken care of and suddenly more things break down. Some things are on a dead-line needing to get done before winter while inside projects can wait a bit.

My anxiety comes from people I plan to hire to help me backing out at the last minute or just never showing up to work. It is very hard to find people who want to work even at a good wage and although, and I do end up doing a lot of the work myself which is not good with my health problems I can not seem to find a good answer to getting the work done so I get upset and frustrated.

My income is low so I must skimp a bit on other things in order to get some of my projects done and not getting them done is driving me crazy. Please don't suggest medication as I am allergic to everything. I do spend lots of time relaxing and listening to music etc... but that does not help my problem of house repairs. lol

Guess this sounds like a rant. Sorry about that, but I am sure there are many people that are dealing with these annoying issues.

Because of my depression, the household chores get left. It annoys me too that I just don't feel like doing some things. How I get around it is not to be too hard on myself. I know I am sick, or at least a mental disability.

I do one little bit each day. Sometimes I end up doing the whole lot and that makes me feel great.

What I find helps is an anti-procrastination binaural beat video. It is totally harmless but this really does work. You end up getting things done without even thinking about it. This could help you somewhat, but it can't help with staff not turning up for work I'm afraid. But it will give you a boost. It will make you feel like doing some things that you haven't got round to doing. You won't even notice it until afterwards.

Enjoy it, I particularly like this one.

First of all... your putting too much pressure on yourself. Breathe and calm down. Take the most important thing and do it first. Put everything else on the back burner . Don't keep torturing yourself . Take it one day at a time. The problem with people like us is that we keep looking to the future instead of living for the day. Do what you can and don't sweat it. I promise you if you stop over thinking this.. then things should fall into place and if not... don't be too hard in yourself.

I am slowly getting things done. I have been spot cleaning and then backing off for a little while. Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions and that peaceful water fall.
