The saga continues: AM 6

Hi Matt.

To be honest, I didn't think going all the way back to AM6 was right for you. I was saddened to see that. You were making real progress with E2. I'm glad you will go back to it when done.

That said, I understand what you mean about the procrastination. I had that terribly, all during V3.0.1, and the exhaustion was so extreme it derailed my life. What I find is helpful in those times, is to pick just ONE thing off your to do list per day to do. ONE. Over several days, even small things done one by one per day, can add up and help you get out of the funk. Only focus on one, otherwise the procrastination rears it's head. Once you've done a few, and you would literally have to force yourself NOT to do two that day, do two. The point is, to keep the activity very small and manageable and "bite size", to minimise the chance procrastination can step in and c*ckblock you. Allowing you to continue some form of forward momentum always.

Over time, this will help you climb out. It's always worked for me.

I honestly didn't think AM6 would be that much of a step back, but something about E2 just made me a lot more consistent with my progress. I think a lot of it is related to my overly critical nature. With Am6 it kind of feels like there is potential to fail and not change from the program. With E2 there wasn't any pressure, it was just emotional healing. Maybe it's because when I started AM6 I was convinced this was it and I was going to pull myself out of the hell I've been through and finally change my life. Too much pressure on myself and expectations.

Anyway thanks for replying. I'm definitely going to use your strategy for the procrastination I've been dealing with. I know I can do at least one thing a day.
