Do you find that you sometimes struggle with starting something, or stopping something else, or shifting a task from one thing to another? In other words, sometimes it's hard to start a new task when your doing something else, or starting a task when your not doing anything? Like if your on the internet it's hard to get your self to do a house chore? Or if your doing a house chore, it's hard to do a school or class assignment? Especially when it's a task that involves different energy- low energy work i.e. reading books, to highlevel i.e. cleaning room or kitchen? I always find that is hard. The same thing goes if I'm thinking about something interesting. It's hard to stop thinking about it sometimes to sleep or think about something else. Do you relate to this?
Yes I relate to all of this. It's called perseveration.
I can also have the opposite problem, where I just flit from one thing to another and never really get anything done.
I try to make the perseveration work in my favor by doing things in "marathons." Like having a laundry day where I just do several loads of laundry, maybe watch videos in between and try not to get distracted with anything else. Or if the weather is really good for working outside, then I will do that and let other things slide for that day.
Getting some sleep in between different tasks seems to help, even if it's just a short nap.
